I'm running EV 9.0.4 and I'm in the midst of moving my vault store partitions from LUNs to CIFS shares. It's going fine for the smaller partitions but I have some rather LARGE partitions waiting in the back of the line. According to http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH35742, I'm supposed to stop all EV services before copying the data.
I was wondering if it would be ok to only put the vault store group in Read Only mode and leave the EV services running while copying the partition from old to new location. I would obviously still stop EV before changing the partition root path in SQL. I'm just trying to minimize the time EV is down b/c even with multithreaded robocopy, the copy of these two partitions is going to be substantial.
Let me know if what I'm suggesting is reasonable or not.
Thanks!!
