Last night, I worked on resizing the TrackIT! server C: drive, as it was getting quite full, since it was a system drive, it was somewhat risky business to resize it. After much backing up, I took the plunge, and successfully (I think) resized the drive. There is not about 14Gb of the drive left.
In addition to the resize, here are the precautionary measures that were taken:
- A backup was taken of both the database, and the transaction log of TrackIT!
- A copy of the Virtual Machine of the older, un-resized server still exists
- A snapshot of the new Virtual Machine was taken prior to the hard drive resize.
It looks like everything is functional. Please check the TrackIT! server first thing in the morning, and let me know if anything is not working right. we must revert back immediately before people start making changed to the database, in case there is anything wrong.
I have also run some maintenance on the database, and shrunk the log files which grew to be 18Gb big (the database, is 200Mb). The log file is now 104Mb.
- I also installed the latest Windows updates. This server is now ready to be upgraded to TrackIT! 9.0
- This change was made on 10/21/2009 at 21:30
