(We are having performance issues with a web app and a consultant made this recommendation.) I’m thinking I can just create these as new mount points then restore the data but I am VERY new and want to make sure this is the correct way to do this. I am also wondering what I need to do to “switch over” from these being under the /opt mount point on the internal disks. Will the system just automatically start pointing to the VA as soon as I mount the new file system? Do I need to umount /opt first? Will the existing data remain on the internal disks so that if they decide to back out I can just umount the new mount point to go back to our original configuration? Thanks in advance for any help!!<BR /><BR />Jenni Thu, 13 Sep 2007 08:53:45 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070120#M600941 Jenni Wolgast 2007-09-13T08:53:45Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070121#M600942 1) Create a new logical volume on /opt/tomcat1<BR /><BR />2) Stop your tomcat application<BR /><BR />3) cd /opt/tomcat<BR />4) find . -depth -print | cpio -pvdulm /opt/tomcat1<BR />5) mv /opt/tomcat /opt/tomcat2<BR />6) mkdir /opt/tomcat<BR />7) modify /etc/fstab to that the mountpoint of the new lv is /opt/tomcat instead of /opt/tomcat1<BR />8) Restart tomcat<BR />9) If everything is working fine you can remover /opt/tomcat2<BR /><BR />Do the same procedure for /opt/java1.4 Thu, 13 Sep 2007 08:59:51 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070121#M600942 Luk Vandenbussche 2007-09-13T08:59:51Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070122#M600943 I would be interested to see some evidence to back up the performance issue.<BR /><BR />Relocating the java binaries to some different disk probably will not help the issue.<BR /><BR />Any sar data to support the potential disk issue or will this hoop jump just waste time and effort ?<BR /><BR /> Thu, 13 Sep 2007 09:15:32 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070122#M600943 Tim Nelson 2007-09-13T09:15:32Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070123#M600944 Luk,<BR />Thanks for the step-by-step instructions! If they decide they want to back this change out for some reason would I just need to:<BR /><BR />- stop tomcat<BR />- umount /opt/tomcat<BR />- mv /opt/tomcat2 /opt/tomcat<BR />- restart tomcat<BR /><BR />then I'd be back where I started?<BR /><BR />Tim,<BR />Yep, I think this is just a blind recommendation but jumping can be good exercise :)<BR /> Thu, 13 Sep 2007 09:26:56 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/newbie-trying-to-moving-directories-to-from-internal-disks-to-va/m-p/4070123#M600944 Jenni Wolgast 2007-09-13T09:26:56Z
