How to Change the mount Base for an existing ASE VDB

If after provisioning an ASE VDB the Mount Base needs to be changed from the default location : /<toolkit>/<Delphix_Appliance_ID>-<vdb-##> to a unique location then the following can be carried out:

  1. Login to the CLI as an admin user
  2. Disable the VDB
  3. Update the mount base
  4. Enable the VDB

Note

Note:

This will require downtime of the VDB as it will need to be disabled for the edit to be completed.

Example:

Login to the CLI as an admin user and carry out the following:

DE > source
DE source> select <vDB>
DE source '<vDB>’>disable
DE source '<vDB>’ disable *> commit
DE source '<vDB>'> update
DE source '<vDB>' update *> set mountBase=/mnt/provision/<vDB_unique_mount_point> *** This must be unique per vDB ***
DE source '<vDB>' update *> commit
  Dispatched job JOB-1442
  SOURCE_UPDATE job started for “<vDB>".
  SOURCE_UPDATE job for "<vDB>" completed successfully.
DE source '<vDB>'> enable
DE source '<vDB>' enable *> commit


The mountBase must be unique for each VDB or staging database. The path can reside under a common parent directory (/mnt/provision for example) but you must specify a unique child directory under the parent for each VDB or staging database using this parameter.

Please ensure you check that their is nothing else mounted already on a mount base you choose.
