    How to move PostgreSQL data to another drive in the same physical machine?

    Follow the steps given below to move the database to a different drive:

    • Stop the Firewall Analyzer server/service, if it is running
    • Check the task manager for the process java.exe and postgres.exe, kill the process if any of these process is running
    • Copy the folder <Firewall Analyzer Home>pgsql to a folder in another drive (e.g., D:Firewallpgsql).i.e., the new location to which you want to move the data of PostgreSQL database
    • Rename the present data folder under pgsql folder as dataold and you can delete it later 
    • Open the setCommonEnv.bat/sh file, located under <Firewall Analyzer Home>bin directory

      For Windows: 
      Edit the following set database home line: 

      set DB_HOME=%SERVER_HOME%pgsql 
      as 
      set DB_HOME=D:Firewallpgsql 

      where, the D:Firewallpgsql is the new location for the PostgreSQL database 

    For Linux: 
    Edit the following set database home line: 

    DB_HOME=$SERVER_HOME/pgsql 
    as 
    DB_HOME=<absolute path of desired location>/pgsql 

    where, the <absolute path of desired location>/pgsql is the new location for the PostgreSQL database 

    Note:​ The above line may slightly differ for various builds, however, ensure that, 

    in Windows "set DB_HOME=%SERVER_HOME%pgsql" is changed to "set DB_HOME=<new drive with absolute path>pgsql" 
    or 
    in Linux the line is changed to "DB_HOME=<absolute path of desired location>/pgsql". 
    • Save the file 

    Changes in wrapper.conf file

    • Open the wrapper.conf file, located under <Firewall Analyzer Home>/server/conf directory
    • Change this below line db.home for service to the new PostgreSQL database home
    wrapper.java.additional.7=-Ddb.home=../pgsql
    • Save the file 
    • Start the Firewall Analyzer server/service 
    • Check whether the data is correct and the D:Firewallpgsql directory size is getting increased

    How to move MSSQL data to another drive in the same physical machine?

    1. Stop the Firewall Analyzer Server/Service.
    2. Login to SQL Server database with system administrator permissions.
    3. Find the current location of the data file and log file for the database firewall by using the following commands:
    use firewall
    go
    sp_helpfile
    go
    1. Detach the database by using the following commands:
    use  master
    go
    sp_detach_db 'firewall'
    go
    1. Copy the data file and log file from the current location (<MSSQL Home>datafirewall.mdf and <MSSQL Home>datafirewall_log.LDF)
      to the new location (<New location>firewall.mdf and <New Location>firewall_log.LDF).
    2. Re-attach the database and point to the new location by using the following commands:
    use  master
    go
    sp_attach_db 'firewall' , '<New Location>firewall.mdf' , '<New Location>firewall_log.LDF'
    go
    1. Verify the changed location by using the following commands:
    use firewall
    go
    sp_helpfile
    go
    1. Start the Firewall Analyzer Server/Service.
