Move SAPDATA files from one drive to another

Hi,
I have a DR server running on Windows 2003 and Oracle 10.2.
The SAPDATA drive Z is running out of space and I need to move it to a bigger drive.
The server has two RAID 5 interfaces where all the disks are located i.e Disk 0 and Disk 1.
Below is the plan:
1)     create a new drive K in Disk 1
2)     manually copy all SAPDATA files from old drive Z (located in Disk 0) to drive K
3)     rename the old drive Z in Disk 0 to another alphabet
4)     rename the new drive K to Z
Start the server and SAP services and there should not be any issues for SAP in recognizing the "new" enlarged drive Z,
do you agree?
Thank you.

Hi,
Yes this will work. You can proceed.
But make sure that you take a backup before proceeding further.

  • Copy File From One Drive to Another & Missing Keyword Tags

    Hi,
    I use LR 2.7.  I want to copy one file from one drive to another drive with the same file name.  I thought you could drag the file, but it doesn't copy over the file in the other drive, can you explain what I have to do? 
    Also, I tried to import the folder into another drive, but it doesn't copy the keyword tags.  Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks
    Barb

    Hey Barb,
       Well, if you use the Year/Month/Day/pictures_here  format, none of the folders contains a massive amount of folders.  It's not the number of folders that generates problems, it's having them all in _one_ folder that creates slow-down issues.  Imagine if you had a deck of cards; look for one card... you have to go through all 52 cards to find it.  But, if you broke it down into the 4 groups, you only have to go through 13, which is lots faster.  Now imagine going through 15000 instead of 52...
    Look at the way lightroom can automatically import by date;  it has several preset formats.  If you pick one of those, then when you import new photos, it will automatically create any missing ones, and you have lots less to do.
    Depending on how much work you have already done, you might consider making a new catalog and just importing all of your photos again, and let it create everything quickly for you.
    You could save all of your "edit" changes by writing out all of the xmp files first.  But with 15000 files in one directory, this will double it to 30000 (one per image!), but will preserve all of your edits if you choose to make a new catalog approach.
    As for combing catalogs, once you have one catalog the way you want it, you can select "import from catalog" and it will suck it into a new one, thus combining the catalogs.  The only problem I can see is that it will import it in the format you already have it, so you have to organize it manually before you import it.  Otherwise, you'll get your old format and your new format in the one catalog (but can then move pictures around if you need to).
    Personally,  I'd go the 'write xmp files, create new catalog' approach.  Then just recreate my collections, etc.
    But either way you do it, it will take some time processing, as that's a lot of files to start with!
    Ciao!

  • Moving files from one drive to another

    How can I move a batch of files from one drive to another using Bridge CS4?

    There are two methods.  One involves your operating system and the other uses Bridge.
    Using Microsoft (sorry to you Mac users) have Windows Explorer open to the directory containing your files.  Click and drag the directory from one drive to another.  Conversely if you want to copy just a selection of the files follow this routine.
    Create a duplicate named directory in the destination drive.  Select the file you wish to move and do so from directory to directory.
    In Bridge it is even easier.  In Bridge ensure that the Folders sub pane is open and visibile.  Just click on the source directory and click and drag it to the destination drive.
    Testing on my part (I routinely move up to 30 gigabytes at a time) has demonstrated that Bridge adds a little time to the process depending on the size of the source files.  I suspect that this has to do with additional overhead of the program.
    To be safe I would recommend that you do use the copy method instead of moving the directory.  This is a failsae in case any problems crop up during the process.  It takes mere moments to delete the source directory after the copy routine has run.

  • Best way to copy large VM files from one drive to another?

    Hi all, I am wondering what the best and fastest way there is to copy a large VM file from one drive to another (external drive to internal drive). Should the .pvm folder (in my case with Parallels) be zipped first? The files I need to copy range from 50 to 70gb. thx for any insight! ps. Even Bombich admits it's difficult for CCC to do...not clear why, but it does slow a full clone down to a crawl. I also have Chronosync at my disposal, but suspect the same is true there as well. Cheers!
    coocoo

    I don't think it matters much which way you do the job. I use Parallels to compress by drives on a regular basis. If you want to copy a dynamic VM, which can grow to just about any size as required, to another drive you will use about the same amount of time zipping the VM - transfering the VM - unzipping the VM, as you would just moving the VM.
    I've moved my VM files to a second partition that does not get cloned to my bootable backup that I create with SuperDuper. I've excluded my entire VM folder from Time Machine and just make zipped backups for each system after any large Service Pack Updates from Microsoft, or any intricate program installations. These get copied to a second partition on my Time Machine drive manually.
    My VM's sizes are kept under control by using common Documents-Movies-Music folders for the Mac and the VM's. My VM's do not have the data files the programs use, they are on my Mac and get backed up every hour with Time Machine.
    Reinstalling a VM just means deleting the broken copy, unzipping my latest backup, and putting into the same folder that Parallels knows to use. The data files are always accessible, even if they were created after my latest VM backup.

    Do some testing to get your method working right with some less than important footage.
    Copy/paste files where you want then.
    Use the FCE Reconnect feature to tell FCE where the newly copied files reside.
    Make sure the new location and files are working as expected with your Projects.
    Delete the original files if no longer required.

  • Move stickie file from one mac to another, move stickie file from one mac to another, How do I move stickie file from one mac to another

    How do you transfer the stickie data file from one mac to another?

    I think this is the file -
    In (hard drive) > Users > yourhomefolder (the one with the house icon) > Library, look for a loose file named StickiesDatabase
    Copying that file to the same location on the new machine (and replacing the file there now) should move the notes. It is probably a good idea that both machines be running the same OS X version.

    3----->After Reading Those file I have to Move it to another folder.

    I am in deep trouble for this project.

    Use java.io.File.renameTo(...) (look it up in the API documentation).
    Renaming a file doesn't work if you're trying to move files from one disk to another disk. In that case, you have to copy the file and delete the original.

  • How do i move a file from one directory to another?

    Can anyone help me in moving a file from one directory to another?
    The following code just does not work!!
    File source_file = new File(source_file);
    if(source_file.exists())
    File dest_file = new File(destination_file);
    if(!dest_file.exists())
    boolean moved = source_file.renameTo(dest_file);
    System.out.println("moved.."+moved);
    The varirable moved is always false.
    Can anyone tell me whts wrong in this code?

    The problem in your code is you used file object as argument when you create a new File. I changed a little bit codes and it should be fine now.
    String source_file1="test111.txt";
    String destination_file1="test222.txt";
    try{
         File source_file = new File(source_file1);
         if(source_file.exists())
              File dest_file = new File(destination_file1);
              if(!dest_file.exists())
                   boolean moved = source_file.renameTo(dest_file);
                   System.out.println("moved.."+moved);
    catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();

  • How to copy very large number of files from one drive to another???

    I'm a fairly experienced Mac user for serveral years but this problem really has me stumped.
    I'm trying to copy or move 152,000 files from one external drive to another drive. I can highlight (Cmd - A) all the files on the first drive and drag them to the second drive but Finder always shows 32,768 files being copied no matter what I try.
    Any and all suggestions on how to move/copy a large number of files from one external drive to another are greatefully appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Mack

    I would use the command line tool rsync.
    For instance with: rsync -av source-dir destination-dir
    -a The files are transferred in "archive" mode, which ensures that symbolic links, devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships, etc. are preserved in the transfer.
    -v Verbose, so you see the progress.
    Rsync is fast and really, really powerful and many times used in shell scripts and the like to automatically backup and/or sync stuff. Google a bit for more info.

  • Moving RAW files from one drive to another without loosing all your work in Lightroom

    I am posting this for two reasons, the first is I have been trying to figure out how to get my raw files off my hard drive & onto my external hardrive for ages, as my laptop is filling up & slowing down with the huge files my new camera captures. I have been researching this & have found it hard to find a clear answer to my particular problem using Windows 7 not a Mac.
    After loosing some files in Lightroom when I moved them within Explorer instead of Lightroom, & being unable to figure out how to add a new drive in the Library module in Lightroom to move them to, I wanted to make sure I got it right when I moved the lot of them. I finally figured out a way, it might be round about, but it got it done without any trouble.
    This is how I moved my files:
    In Windows Explorer I moved one folder which Lightroom uses, from my laptop to the drive I want to store them all on from now on.
    Then in Lightroom, under 'Library' (along the top, eg 'File' 'Edit' 'Library' etc) I selected 'Find missing photos' & led Lightroom to the new location. Now my external hd as well as my laptop hd was listed under 'Folders'  (on the Left hand side of the screen along with 'Navigator' 'Catalog' 'Folders' etc) in the Library module.
    After that it was simple. Just a matter of dragging & dropping from my C drive (laptop)to my G drive (external hd) while in Lightroom; Library module. This way Lightroom keeps track of where the files are stored & nothing is lost.
    From now on I will be importing raw files from my camera to my external hd & working on them all from there.
    If anyone has a simpler way please share it. I am very new at this & don't profess to be an expert. So any advice would be greatly appreciated
    The second reason for this post is that I'd like to know how to make sure that the adjustments made in Lightroom are stored on the external hd as well, incase anything happens to the laptop?
    Is exporting the catalogue what I need to do?
    Or can I back up the Lightroom adjustments to my external hd somehow?
    OR when I moved the raw files did this information move with them?
    I understand that my raw files are the original unaltered files & that the changes made in Lightroom are recorded seperately & applied in Lightroom itself..... Well, that's what I think I know about how it all works after a few months of using it, so please forgive me if I'm missing something & I'll be very happy to be enlightened if you'd be so kind
    Happy New Year to you all!

    All the adjustments are stored in the catalog (not in the file). So you want to back it up, and the external is a good place. In the catalog settings (Edit > Catalog Settings > General) there is an option to set a regular backup schedule, and you'll be asked where you want to put it.
    The backup is just a regular copy of the catalog, and you can simply launch Lightroom from that, by double-clicking it.
    The image files themselves should also be backed up of course, but that's outside Lightroom.

  • How do I move a file from one catalog to another

    I created a new catalog by mistake, I imported a file to this catalog, how do I move the file to the catalog that I have been using?

    You CAN export the catalog and then import and merge it to your correct catalog.
    But if it's just one file, why not just delete the new catalog and reimport the one file???
