I think I remember you saying this was a Windows 2000 master... correct?
If so, what is the difference between what junction.exe does and using a
volume mount point?
If this is just creating a volume mount point, beware that Diskeeper
doesn't defrag the data on the mount point. If you want to defrag your
catalog, mount the disk on the mount point and give it a drive letter (not
sure about junction.exe, but you can do this with the Logical Disk Manager
that comes with Windows 2000). Then tell Diskeeper about the new drive
letter and it will work fine (but make sure you don't put the server in a
policy with ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES **AND** cross mount points or I think you'll
back the data up twice).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Solution: Moving the Catalog
Thanks to everyone who answered my question. I did not want to use the
ALTPATH method, as this could be a management nightmare, long term.
I used a solution no one mentioned, so I will post it here:
1) Backup Cataog
2) Shut down services.
3) Copied \db directory to new volume.
4) Renamed the old one (a bit paranoid - but this i s a
good thing!)
5) Created a new, empty \db directory.
6) Used the www.sysinternals.com "junction.exe" utility
to create to
create a link to the other volume's \db directory.
7) Restart the services, and change the catalog backup
locations.
8) Test, Test, Test.
Hope this option helps others,
David Ashamalla
