Move \usr\sap\<SID> to a different drive on windows 2003

145 Views

I recently installed two ECC 6.0 systems on one windows 2003 server. I setup one logical drive (F:) for ECC system #1 and its binaries and another logical drive (G:) for ECC system #2 and its binaries. During the installation of system #2, It would not allow my to change the installation location from F: to G: for the SAP binaries. All the environment variables were set to point to the G: drive and that still didnt work. So I went ahead with the install and decided to change it after. After the install completed, I have tried to change this. I have moved \usr\sap\<SID for #2> to G:, I modified the start profile and forced DIR_INSTANCE and DIR_EXE_ROOT to point to the G: drive, modified one registry entry that I found that pointed to the incorrect drive (DIR_INSTANCE), removed services and sapmmc and then updated with correct info via sapstartsrv.exe. After this, the system still failed to start as it looks like all the DIR_* profile parameters still point to the F: drive.

Does anyone know the correct way of doing this?

How do I get the SAP kernel to look at the G: drive instead of the F: drive for all the DIR_* parameters?

Thanks.
