Changing master or replica database location
You can easily change the database location of a master and replica by copying the database and log files to the target directory.
1 Shut down the server to release the operating system file locks on the database
file and log files.
2 Copy the database and log files to the target directory.
3 Copy the solid.ini file to the target directory.
4 Check that the database file directory, log file directory, and backup directory, are correctly defined in the solid.ini configuration file.
5 If the database you moved is the master, issue the SET SYNC CONNECT command in all the replicas.
This must be set in all replicas to ensure connection before the next message to the master.
6 Start solidDB® at the new location using the target directory as the current working directory with the command line option -c directory_name .
7 If the database you moved is a replica, check that you are able to access the master with the connection string in MESSAGE FORWARD or MESSAGE APPEND REGISTER REPLICA.
