The installation is already complete and the cluster is up since 1 year. </P><P>We wanted to allocate higher storage to /var/spool/dtmanaged and keep the BIG data files there without disturbing the Dynatrace binaries and log files that would continue to be in /opt/dtmanaged/* folders. </P><P>Is there any way, this can be done? We tried to change cassandraDatastoreDir in config.properties file and restarted the service but it still kept writing to the old location.</P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Abhaya</P><BR /> Tue, 14 Aug 2018 16:47:15 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/How-to-move-the-Transaction-Storage-of-Dynatrace-Managed-to/m-p/36238#M300 asahoo1 2018-08-14T16:47:15Z Re: How to move and point the Transaction Storage of dynatrace managed to another directory https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/How-to-move-the-Transaction-Storage-of-Dynatrace-Managed-to/m-p/36239#M301 <P>Please do not modify configuration files. </P><P><BR />To do it what you want, please follow my comment above. Just stop the cluster, copy files to new location and create a symlink or mount other volume under old path.</P><BR /> Thu, 16 Aug 2018 12:27:21 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/How-to-move-the-Transaction-Storage-of-Dynatrace-Managed-to/m-p/36239#M301 Radoslaw_Szulgo 2018-08-16T12:27:21Z Re: How to move and point the Transaction Storage of dynatrace managed to another directory https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/How-to-move-the-Transaction-Storage-of-Dynatrace-Managed-to/m-p/279390#M4318 <P>Hello Radislaw,</P><P>is it also possible to copy the files to an other (new or empty) node.
