Moving a Database Under Low Disk Space Conditions

Moving a Database Under Low Disk Space
Conditions
If disk space on the server is critically low, the Interplay Engine refuses client connections and
displays an error message. In this situation, the administrator cannot log in and shut down the
server, and move a database by normal means (as described in
“Moving a Database to Another
Server (Non-Clustered Systems)” on page 69
and “Moving a Database and Users to Another
Server (Non-Clustered Systems)” on page 71
). In the Server installation directory (by default,
C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Server), there are tools provided to solve such
problems:
• NxNServerLock.exe
• NxNServerUnlock.exe
• NxNServerShutdown.exe
c
Before beginning this procedure, be sure to make a backup of the database. See “Creating
and Restoring Database Backups” on page 29 for information on running a backup.
Temporarily change the Backup time field to “Once at” and enter or select from the list the
time in the future closest to the current time.
To move a database under low disk space conditions:
1. Lock the server using NxNServerLock.exe.
2. Shut down the server using NxNServerShutdown.exe, if necessary.
3. Move the database folder (AvidWG or AvidAM) to another drive or free up some disk space.
4. Unlock the server by doing one of the following:
t Use the Interplay Administrator’s Lock Server view (see
“Locking and Unlocking the
Server” on page 89
).
t Use NxNServerUnlock.exe.
5. Deactivate the moved database using the Manage Databases view (see
“Deactivating a
Database” on page 64
).
6. Activate the moved database in the correct location using the Manage Databases view (see
“Activating a Deactivated Database” on page 65).
