For a disaster Recovery project we have been asked to install DataStage on to a SAN drive.
A team member tried - and the result is that the Datastage installation software will not allow installion of the server software to a network drive (i.e. it will only accept a local drive.)
Is there anyway around this - Has anyone managed to do this - if so what different steps are required during the installation
Thanking you all in advance

DataStage is documented as not being able to be installed on a symbolic link. It must therefore depend on the relationship between the DataStage server machine and the SAN; how SAN-disk "file systems" are mounted on the UNIX machine. It may prove completely impossible. This still does not preclude accessing data on SAN disks, which may be to what Kim was referring.

This sounds like a NAS not a SAN. There is a big difference.ecclesr wrote:For a disaster Recovery project we have been asked to install DataStage on to a SAN drive.
