Move volumes within an enterprise

You can move volumes across a WAN or LAN from one FSC to another FSC within a single enterprise using the fscadmin utility. Note Use the Organization application to move a volume from one location to another on the same host. For example, as shown in the following graphic, you can move Volume 1 from FSC A to FSC B. To do so, you must remove the volume UID definition from FSC A and add it to FSC B. Because the volume UID is not changed during the move, there is no impact to file access. Read/write tickets may not be honored during the move operation. This has a significant impact on a production system. To move a volume within an enterprise with minimum impact: Procedure Use the backup_modes utility to put Teamcenter in read-only mode. For example: Copy backup_modes -m=rdonly -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group Use your operating system copy tools to copy the entire volume directory across a LAN or WAN from its source location in FSC A to its destination location in FSC B. Use the fscadmin utility (stored in the FSC_HOME directory) to retrieve the FMS primary configuration of FSC A. Note the volume UID and the enterprise ID of FSC A. For example: Copy fscadmin -s http://FSCA-address:port ./config Use the fscadmin utility to remove the volume UID from the FMS primary configuration file for FSC A. For example. Copy fscadmin -s http://FSCA-address:port ./config/removevolume/nvargs/ volumeid=volume-UID;enterpriseid=site-ID;fmsconfigentryonly=1 Use the fscadmin utility to add the destination location and volume UID to the FMS primary configuration file of FSC B using one of the following identifiers: Using FSC ID. For example, type the following all on one line: Copy fscadmin -s http://FSCB-address:port ./config/newaddvolume/nvargs/ root=destination-location;volumeid=volume-UID; fscid=FSC-B;enterpriseid=site-ID Using the file store group. For example, type the following all on one line: Copy fscadmin -s http://FSCB-address:port ./config/newaddvolume/nvargs/ root=destination-location;volumeid=volume-UID; filestoregroupid=Group;enterpriseid=site-ID Using the load balancer ID. For example, type the following all on one line: Copy fscadmin -s http://FSCB-address:port ./config/newaddvolume/nvargs/ root=destination-location;volumeid=volume-UID; loadbalancerid=load-balancer;enterpriseid=site-ID Use the fscadmin utility to reload configuration settings on the FSC primaries and secondaries. For example, Copy fscadmin ./reload/all Using your operating system tools, delete the volume under FSC A. Use the backup_modes utility to put Teamcenter in read-only mode. For example: Copy backup_modes -m=normal -u=tc-admin-user -p=password -g=group In Teamcenter, using the Organization application, select the volume, modify the volume’s path name, and click Modify. In the Move Volume dialog box, at the prompt Do you want to move files?, select No. Select Yes to change the volume location without moving the volume data.
