Database Expansion utility

Introduction
The Database Expansion utility enables you to expand the size of your
Symposium Call Center Server database by
expanding it into a new partition
expanding it into additional space on an enlarged partition following an
upgrade or platform migration
The Database Expansion utility also allows you to reserve new partitions for
non-database use.
Before you begin
Ensure that you create a Platform Recovery Disk and perform a database
backup.
Note: If there is a hardware problem with an added partition or a segmentation
problem in the database, a database expansion will fail, and you will not be able
to recover your system without a Platform Recovery Disk and a database
backup.
For more information on creating a Platform Recovery Disk and a database
backup, see Chapter 19, "Backing up data."
Expanding the database into a new partition
If you create a new partition on your server for database use, you must use the
Database Expansion utility to expand the database into that partition. When you
run the Database Expansion utility, it automatically detects any usable new
partitions that are not already in use. When it detects usable new partitions, the
utility assumes that you want to expand your database into them.
The utility automatically selects a partition for expansion if
it is not currently being used for a database
