Move SAPDATA files from one drive to another

Former Member

Hi,

I have a DR server running on Windows 2003 and Oracle 10.2.

The SAPDATA drive Z is running out of space and I need to move it to a bigger drive.

The server has two RAID 5 interfaces where all the disks are located i.e Disk 0 and Disk 1.

Below is the plan:

1) create a new drive K in Disk 1

2) manually copy all SAPDATA files from old drive Z (located in Disk 0) to drive K

3) rename the old drive Z in Disk 0 to another alphabet

4) rename the new drive K to Z

Start the server and SAP services and there should not be any issues for SAP in recognizing the "new" enlarged drive Z,

do you agree?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes this will work. You can proceed.

But make sure that you take a backup before proceeding further.
