Re: moving the MS Search file on a Exchange 2003 cluster
Hi,
I tested these utilites, they move the catalog and property store, but the
clust0.0 files are not moved.
Any other ideas on how to move these files beside dumpcfg and rewrite disk
signatures to new disk?
Thanks,
Sigmund

Re: moving the MS Search file on a Exchange 2003 cluster
I just went through this. Those files contain binary information that gets
put into the registry when the MSSearch instance starts. If you go through
the registry and update the drive letter, shutdown the instance, move it to
a new disk, and start up, I would guess that would work.
I did it a little more "hard core". I first moved the files to their new
directory. I then opened each file with a hex editor, and went through the
file changing the drive letters from the old to the new. This worked for me,
but I am sure it is not supported by Microsoft. ;)
