How to move MySQL 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 mysqld-nt.exe, kill the process if any of these process is running. 
• Copy the folder <Firewall Analyzer Home>\mysql\data to a folder in another drive (e.g., D:\Firewall\data).i.e., the new location to which you want to move the data of MySQL database.
• Rename the present data folder under mysql folder as dataold and you can delete it later. 
• Open the startDB.bat/sh file, located under <Firewall Analyzer Home>\bin directory. 
  
  For Windows: 
  
  Edit the following command in the mysql startup line: 
  
  --datadir=%DB_HOME%\data 
  as 
  --datadir=D:\Firewall\data 
  
  where, the D:\Firewall\data is the new location for the MySQL database. 
  
  After changing the command, the start command will look like: 
  
  @start /B %DB_HOME%\bin\mysqld-nt --standalone --basedir=%DB_HOME% 
  --port=%DB_PORT% --datadir=D:\Firewall\data --innodb_buffer_pool_size=180M 
  --key-buffer-size=32M --innodb_file_per_table --max_heap_table_size=32M 
  --tmp_table_size=40M --innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0 --log-error 
  
  For Linux: 
  
  Please add "--datadir=<desired location>" after "--basedir" attribute in the mysql startup line. 
  
  After adding the "--datadir" attribute to the command, the start command will look like: 
  
  #default 
  $DB_HOME/bin/mysqld --no-defaults --basedir=$DB_HOME --datadir=/advent/5g/Working/Latest/data --port=$DB_PORT --socket=$TMP_HOME/mysql.sock --user=root.............. 
  
  

  The above command may slightly differ for various builds, however, ensure that,  in Windows "--datadir=%DB_HOME%\data" is changed to "--datadir=<new drive with absolute path>"  or  in Linux "--datadir=<new drive with absolute path>" is added.

• Save the file. 
• Start the Firewall Analyzer server/service. 
• Check whether the data is correct and the D:\Firewall\data directory size is getting increased.

go
sp_detach_db 'firewall'
go

5. Copy the data file and log file from the current location (<MSSQL Home>\data\firewall.mdf and <MSSQL Home>\data\firewall_log.LDF)
   to the new location (<New location>\firewall.mdf and <New Location>\firewall_log.LDF).
6. 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

7. Verify the changed location by using the following commands:

use firewall
go
