Facing the issue of full disk space on your server and need to relocate your database to a new disk? Follow this step-by-step procedure to ensure a seamless transition:
1. Network Disruption: Temporarily disable the network connection to isolate the workstation from the server.
2. Service Suspension: Safely stop the BTSServer services to prevent data locks or corruption during the transfer.
3. Data Confirmation: Allow ten minutes to ensure all data has been successfully uploaded and is ready for transfer.
4. Software Uninstallation: Uninstall the BTSServer software from the server, freeing up space for the new disk.
5. Data Transfer: Copy the remaining files post-uninstallation to your target disk, making sure to confirm sufficient disk space beforehand.
6. Reinstallation with Verification: On the target disk, within the copied folder, install the identical version of BTSServer. Double-check that the installation path aligns with the copied data, and that the version and architecture match the original setup.
7. Network Resumption: Re-enable the network to reconnect the workstation and validate if the NDA data displays correctly.
8. Data Integrity Check: Monitor the system post-handover to ensure data continues to update as expected without any discrepancies.
By adhering to these steps, you can effectively manage your server's disk space constraints and maintain the integrity of your database operations.
