As per subject, I would like to free some space and the copy of the catalog backup that lives permanently (!) in staging is what I'm targetting. This is several Gb of data I'd like to relocate. Currently its /usr/openv/db/staging and I'm Solaris.
I can see two routes:
1) Create a new directory on my target disk and symlink /usr/openv/db/staging to it.
2) Create a new directory on my target disk, modify vxdbms.conf entry VXDBMS_NB_STAGING = to point to it and restart ...something: the relational dbs.Or maybe the whole of netb to be safe.
I'd prefer option 1, simplest, least intrusive. Anyone tried this and knows for sure that the symlink will be happily followed by the catalog backup processes?
Additional benefit: it should be quicker as the staging process will be read disk A, write disk B as opposed to read and write disk A. Win-win I'm hoping.
I've used OS tools to demonstrate that the staging directory is not actively open, so I'm confident opton 1 should just work but input from the comunity always welcome.
Thanks in advance, Jim
PS Is there something amiss with Symantec forum generally as I seem to be able to google documents referring to the subject but the link fails to find the actual reference within Symantec eg: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO91863.html ?
