Client Management Suite

Hi

I've got an smp7.1 going with 15000 clients. I'ts installed to my d-drive - however the eventqueue-folder to which all inventory data is sent is placed in c:/programdata/Symantec/SMP/Eventqueue causing the c-drive to run low on diskspace. How can I change the path of the eventqueue to another drive?

Cheers,

Claus

You have the options to mount a partition as a folder in the Diskmgmt.msc tool. This could be a good option.

I'm not sure whether hard links (using Sysinternal junction tool) would work across partitions, but it could be worth checking.

You could use the junction tool from sysinternals, as mentioned above, it will work like a symbolic link in linux (ln -s), tested and worked like a charm! :)

Thanks for your replies - got junction to work - now I'm not too sure.

I've done the following:

1. Created folder SMP on E:
2. cmd junction e:\smp C:\ProgramData\Symantec\SMP\EventQueue

This creates a 'link' in E:\SMP to the eventqueue-folder - But does it change the physical path?

Should I instead:

1. stop altiris agent
2. copy C:\ProgramData\Symantec\SMP\EventQueue to E:\SMP\Eventqueue
3. delete C:\ProgramData\Symantec\SMP\EventQueue
4. cmd junction C:\ProgramData\Symantec\SMP E:\SMP\Eventqueue

Thanks again,

Claus

Hello Claus66,

The best option to make this move is to stop the Altiris Service (and dependant services, including the AltirisSupport service, as it watches over core services and would retsart them within a minute), move the folders out of the ProgramData location, make the junction and move the folders from the temp location back to the PRogramData location (which will now be on the e: for real).

Restart the services and your NS should not see any difference (almost).

Working now - Thank you
