logshipping and datafiles

  • Hi,

    I just wanted to know possible ways acheiving below.

    I have log shipping configured. On my secondary server, the database is in RESTORING mode.

    There are 5 data file(s) (.mdf and .ndf) associated with it. one of the file is over 900 gigs. The entire db size is over tera-byte.

    Now i wanted to move it to a different drive.

    Now the problem i cannot take the database offline nor run any alter database command to move the of the files to a different drive.

    As of now, what i see only possible way break the log shipping . Take fresh backup of Primary and Restore WITH MOVE option is the only way.

    Currently the LS_COPY and LS_Restore jobs are running on secondary server.

    I wanted to know is there possible ways so that i can move the file without breaking the log shipping???

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • As far as I know, you’ll have to break the log shipping.
