Correct. The only thing i would caution, which I should've mentioned before was to make sure you meet the I/O requirements on the drive and you should be good.
Jetstress is a good tool to test that with :)
First what is the easiest way to move the current database installed on the C drive to a different drive.
Second what is the easiest way to rename the dat
If DB are in DAG, remove them from DAG, go to EAC Servers, click on DB, move to different path, (DB will be offline until move is completed) once done, mount DB
add DB copy in DAG,
click edit and rename DB, it has to be dismounted and remounted for name to be valid in AD config
Hi Marc,For more details on how to do it you can follow my guide : https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Install-Exchange-server-b5cce9e4
To rename the DB:
Set-MailboxDatabase "Database Name" -Name "New Name"
To move the database (doesn't matter if you are in a DAG or not) you can run:
Move-DatabasePath "Database Name" -EdbFilePath "NewPathtodatabse\dbname.edb" -LogFolderPath "NewLogPath"
then to mount the database
Mount-Database "DatabaseName"
You can do it in the GUI as well, but I find it quicker to do via the shell.
Are you planning on configuring a DAG? If yes, then co-locating the logs and DB on the same volume is fine.
Hi Mar,
Thank you for your question.
In addition, when we move specific log, database of log will be dismounted.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
