nbdb_move — move location of the NBDB database files after installation
SYNOPSIS
-data data_directory [-index index_directory] [-tlog log_directory] [-mlog log_directory] [-config_only] [-owner EMM | DBM | DARS]
On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/db/bin/
On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\
DESCRIPTION
nbdb_move moves the NBDB and the BMRDB database files from the default directory locations to customer-specified directories. This action separates data from indexes and transaction logs to improve performance. This command also moves database data files and transaction files to the following default location:
On UNIX systems: /usr/openv/db/data
.
On Windows systems: install_path\NetBackupDB\data
.
Note:
In a cluster environment, nbdb_move moves the database files to the desired location and changes the VXDBMS_NB_DATA
entry in bp.conf
on the active node. However, you must manually change the VXDBMS_NB_DATA
entry in bp.conf
on the inactive node.
OPTIONS
- -config_only
Updates the configuration files with the directory locations specified. The database files are not moved. Use this option in a recovery operation when the database files were already relocated manually and need their configuration settings to be saved.
- -data data_directory
Moves the main database files to the customer-specified directories that data_directory designates.
- -index index_directory
Changes the directory of the index database files.
- -mlog log_directory
Creates a mirrored transaction log and puts it in a designated directory location. If a mirrored log already exists, this command can be used to move it to a different location.
- -owner EMM | DBM | DARS]
Moves the database data, index, or log files for a specified data space.
- -tlog log_directory
Changes the transaction log directory.
