Potential relocation of repository during system migration

Laserfiche Version 9 Version 8 Administration
Updated May 31, 2013
asked on May 2, 2013 • Show version history

Our customer’s current Canon imageWARE system resides on a Dell PowerVault MD1000 that will be moved to the new Laserfiche server hardware once the old imageWARE data is converted. In the meantime I’ll need to put the new Laserfiche repositories on the new server’s internal RAID, and once all the data is converted move the MD1000 to the new server.

 

I’ve physically moved repositories and SQL databases from server to server before. Is there a function within Laserfiche that I can use to migrate the repository from one storage device to another without going through the process of unregistering the repository and detaching the SQL database? The SQL databases will reside on a dedicated SQL server, so they’re not moving.

If your Laserfiche Repository is staying on the same Laserfiche Server and you’re just looking to move the volumes to a different drive, then you can change the fixed path of the physical volumes in the Admin Console and the files will be moved to the new location (this page in the online help files has more information). You can similarly change the location of the Repository’s search catalog and audit logs from the Admin Console.

 

However, if you’re moving the Repository from one LF Server to another (or if you just want to move the whole Repository folder at once to another drive) you’ll need to simply unregister the repository in the Admin Console, move the Repository files to the new location, and then reregister. Since you mentioned that the SQL database isn’t moving, then you don’t need to detach/reattach the SQL database during this process. You can always consult the Moving/Transferring a Repository online help page for more information on this.

 

All of the above referenced help pages are available from the Laserfiche Administration Guide, accessible from the Laserfiche Support Site.
