/opt 81% after DataProtector 6.11 upgrade

[Beannie]

We want to make a separate file system and link it to /opt/omni to take the space it uses (2G) off of the /opt file system. I tried to create a new lvol8 with a mount point of /opt/omni and it gave me an error about one already existing (which I know).

Our thinking behind it is that we also have two mount points for /var and /var/opt/omni.

Am I missing something? Thanks.

That error was to be expected. Here is how you do what you are thinking of.


Mount the new lvol8 under a temp name, say /omnitemp

Shutdown all the omni services

Copy the contents of /opt/omni into /omnitemp

Rename (move) the /opt/omni to /opt/omni-old

Recreate /opt/omni (it was moved)

Unmount /omnitemp and mount lvol8 to the new /opt/omni

Start the omni services

If everything looks good, delete the /opt/omni-old and /omnitemp subdirectories

This is popular issue about upgrading to version 6.11. %81 is not bad in my opinion.
Today I upgraded from DP5.5 to DP6.11.
your file system must be like this;

Yes, Hakki Aydin - that is what our file system looks like.

Thanks TTr, I will work on that format.

Points assigned.

Thanks to everyone.
