We have some of our data in another country. Owing to export regulations we cannot host the actual data in our country but are allowed to host the Indexes and we have proposed using a remote file share for the partition to "mount" the data from the other country. We would then close that EV server down.
I have a few questions about this approach.
FIrstly, does anyone have a procedure for moving the indexes. We are using version 11 and I cannot find any details.
Secondly, has anyone used the remote file share functionality. I'm interested to know when EV clients work against this set up are they directed to the remote share or does EV proxy the data i.e. is the EV client getting it's data from the EV server or from the share directly.
Thirdly, what about moving the data? Presumably, we have to copy the indexes but also change the PartitionEntry table, VaultStore Entry etc (we have done this a few times when we have moved data but only on the same server). Again, any procedure or advice will be most useful.
