I've done this exact same thing in the past when the disk that our
indexes were on was getting full. I'm pretty sure EMC does have an
official procedure for doing this if you want to search Powerlink for
it... Don't hold me to this, but I remember basically editing the client
configuration to point to the new disk/location, shutting down the
server processes, moving the client index/directory files to the new
disk/location, then re-starting the server processes (which
automatically does an index check for all clients at startup). That's
it.

Subject: [Networker] Is it possible to relocate existing indexes to new
location?
Greetings
The drive I have my client indexes on, as well as the Networker server
installation, is starting to fill up. We're currently running Networker
7.5.4 on Windows 2003 x64
We're not in imminent danger of a full drive, and I'm mulling a few
options on how to address it, but I'm curious if there is a way to move
selected clients' existing indexes.
I'm aware of the entry in the client resource to specify a non-default
location.....is it sufficient to copy the existing indexes to a new
location and then update the client accordingly?
I plan to do some testing, but I thought I'd see if anyone has tackled
this before with any success....
Thanks in advance!
