Hi ,
We have a requirement in which we need to increase the disk space in
our E:\ drive in dev server.
Our IT department wants to know, if we can move the files from
E:\usr\sap to some other drive say F:\ and then move them back.
I tried once to move a folder name irj in E:\usr\sap\<SID>\JCXX
\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com.
But the move was not possible even after the SAP NetWeaver was down and
all the DB2 and SAP Services were disabled. It gave error, unable to
move.
Then, I took windows backup of the irj folder in F:\ and then deleted
the folder irj from E:\usr\sap\<SID>\JCXX\j2ee\cluster\server0
\apps\sap.com.
After doing a task which was a SCA deployment with SDM (which failed),
I restored the irj folder in the same location from windows backup.
So, my concept is:
1> If we have Windows Backup, we can restore the windows folder in the
same location.
2> If we have database backup from DB2<SID>, we can restore the
database.
3> If we have System State Backup, we can restore the system state.
But now my question is:
Is it possible to move the E:\usr\sap by some means so, that if the E:\
drive needs windows drive format; then we can restore the SAP back in
it ?
Please let me know before I proceed for the task as this server is critical
server for us.
