Move cloudera-scm-server-db to different location

We will move the files to different location and create the symlink

1. Stop the scm service:

   
   # service cloudera-scm-server stop
   # service cloudera-scm-server-db stop 
   

2. Copy the cloudera-scm-server-db, retaining the permissions as below:

   
   #cd /var/lib
   #cp -rp cloudera-scm-server-db /dir1/lib/
   
   #cd /var/lib/cloudera-scm-server-db
   #rm -rf data/
   

3. Create symlink

   
   #cd /var/lib/cloudera-scm-server-db
   #ln -s /dir1/lib/cloudera-scm-server-db/data data 
   

Note: Make sure you have preserved permissions as below:

# ls -l /var/lib/
drwx------  3 cloudera-scm cloudera-scm 4096 Aug 21 16:09 cloudera-scm-server-db

# ls -l /var/lib/cloudera-scm-server-db/
drwx------ 12 root root 4096 Sep  3 08:49 data

4. Start services:

   
   # service cloudera-scm-server-db start
   DB initialization done.
   waiting for server to start.... done
   server started
   # service cloudera-scm-server start
