Migrating from /etc/vx/vxdba to /var/vx/vxdba for DB2 and Oracle

If you are upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 or Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle, you can migrate to /var/vx/vxdba to save space under the root partition. Migrating to /var/vx/vxdba is optional. However, ifyou do not perform this migration, you cannot remove any file or directory from /etc/vx/vxdba to ensure proper operation. This procedure can be done at any time.

 To migrate from /etc/vx/vxdba to /var/vx/vxdba

1. Copy the /etc/vx/vxdba directory and contents to /var/vx/vxdba

   # cp -rp /etc/vx/vxdba /var/vx/vxdba

2. Remove /etc/vx/vxdba.

   # rm -rf /etc/vx/vxdba

3. Link the two directories.

   # ln -s /var/vx/vxdba /etc/vx/vxdba
