Video: Part 7A - Moving a Clustered Database to a Different Disk

  • ·Skill level: 300 (Intermediate)
  • ·Run Time: 15:30
  • ·Instructor: Grant Moyle

Description:

When building a cluster, you usually try to minimize the changes made during the installation. Once the cluster is up and running is when you'll actually go an make the production changes needed like moving the database files. In this video, you will take a look at where current database files are and then move them into the actual production position that we want them to be in. Ideally this is done early on in your deployment of Exchange clusters, that way your databases are relatively small, and will move quickly.


Highlights from this video:

  • Building a desirable folder structure in your drives
  • Requirement of clustering
    • Paths
  • Suspending replication and dismounting databases
  • Using the Move database command in powershell
and much more
