1538.0. "Moving DEC Mailworks/TeamLinks directories (diff disk)" by CHOWDA::GLICKMAN (writing from Newport,RI) Tue Feb 11 1997 12:41

    Don't know if this is the right notes conference or not.
    
    For performance reasons my customer is considering moving the
    A1MAIL$LIBRARY and MUAS$SERVER directories to a different disk than
    they currently reside on.
    
    What is the best way to go about doing this?  A new installation?
    But we would want to keep old information.  Also note, we want
    least impact on users (including time down for such a change).
    
    Appreciating any comments.

    Hi,
    
    See note 582 for tuning information and moving the server.  If this
    does not provide enough information let us know.

1538.2Can the move be that easy??CHOWDA::GLICKMANwriting from Newport,RIWed Feb 19 1997 19:3018
From node 582  	>>> To move the A1MAIL$LIBRARY, A1MAIL$TEST and MUAS$COMMON
    		>>> directories you need to modify the following command 
    		>>> procedures:
    
    		>>>	SYS$STARTUP:A1MAIL$STARTUP.COM
    		>>>	SYS$STARTUP:MUAS$STARTUP.COM
    
    Can it be that easy?  Including doing a BACKUP of the A1MAIL$LIBRARY,
    A1MAIL$TEST and MUAS$COMMON directories??  The customer is concerned.
    
    They are concerned as well about having DEC MAILworks down while the
    BACKUP is being done -- a time period where they might miss some mail.
    I suggested at some off hour.  
    
    Any comments on their concerns??
    
    Thanks.
