Mounting multiple stores on TeamSite 7.4.1.1 RHEL 6.5 64bit

Hi all,

just wanted to share my recent discovery - not least so that I can look it up myself in future ;-)

In the environment described above, it is necessary BOTH to define the additional store within the iw.cfg

(in the case of this linux setup, /etc/iw.cfg)

AND ALSO to activate the newly defined store using iwstoreadm

Thus:

1. Stop the TeamSite server
/etc/init.d/iw.server stop

2. IF you need to move your main store, you simply edit /etc/defaultiwstore to contain
/new-iw-store/default-store-foldername

3. To add an additional store, edit iw.cfg, making the required changes (in my case, I added two lines)
store_directory_newstorename=/new-iw-store-folder/default-store-foldername
store_comment_newstorename=randomcomment

4. Start the TeamSite server
/etc/init.d/iw.server start

5. Activate Content Store
/iwhome/ControlHub/bin/iwstoreadm –a newstorename

Notwithstanding Windows registry jiggery-pokery, this technique can be used to add, remove, swap or move content store(s) as required. I hope this helps someone!

But, i dont think you need to Stop/Start iwserver to change the stores.

Just iwstoreadm CLT is good enough.

iwstoreadm -l = lists all stores

iwstoreadm -d <store name> = to deactivate a store

iwstoreadm -a <store name> = to activate stores

You only need to put the entry in iw.cfg if you want the archive (e.g.: "default-store-foldername") to be located in a different directory than the primary backing store. For example:

/iw-store/default
/iw-store/mumblefratz

The above can be handled completely with iwstoreadm

/iw-store/default
/other-store/mumblefratz

The above requires that you register the path for the additional store in iw.cfg and then use iwstoreadm to activate it (you might need to run iwreset [no flag options needed] to get iwserver to reread the iw.cfg file)

Also note: Multiple stores is a license thing - You're generally okay if you're doing this as a temporary measure to perform a migration and remember to remove the temporary secondary store after your migration is completed; If you're planning to have the secondary store around for longer, you should make sure you're licensed for it ($$)

Good to have this clarity around how this tool works.

Thanks!

Hi fish,

I tried same steps to create a temp store in different dir but it always create it in default dir.

./iwstoreadm -l
Name Store Directory ID Comment
---- --------------- -- -------
default /iw-store/default 0x64
iwadmin /iw-store/iwadmin 0x65
testst1 /iw-store/testst1 0x6f

here is what i added to my iw.cfg file

store_directory_testst1=/local/iw-store/testst1
store_comment_testst1= test store

and did ./iwreset without any flag and activated the store using ./iwstoreadm but no success.

any idea what is missing or wron gin my steps?

Did you make the change to /etc/iw.cfg or IWHOME/etc/iw.cfg? Make sure it is the former and not the latter (unless you have them symlinked)
Run iwstoreadm -d testst1
Stop TeamSite (not absolutely necessary, but worthwhile at this point)
Run rm -rf /iw-store/testst1
Start TeamSite
Run iwstoreadm -a testst1
Run iwstoreadm -l

Share the results.

Hi Fish,

I have symlinked /etc/iw.cfg with /home/etc/iw.cfg

here is configuration of iw.cfg

store_directory_testst2=/local/iw-store/testst2
store_comment_testst2= test store

Finally it worked!!

here is what going wrong everytime..

there was a space at the begining of the lines in /etc/iw.cfg

Removed the spaces at the beginning of the lines:

store_directory_testst2=/local/iw-store/testst2

store_comment_testst2= test store

Run iwstoreadm –d testst2 to deactivate the current store.

Run iwreset to read the new config.

Run iwstoreadm –a testst2

./iwstoreadm -l
