DataDir Property - Is it possible to store files on more than 1 drive?

The "DataDir" property for an AS 2005 instance seems to only allow for one path to be specified. I am working with a very large data set that is being updated frequently and I would like to be able to reference more than on LUN on my disk array.

Yes, you can.

Take a look at the StorageLocation property of your partition.

DataDir empty

Hi,

The DataDir content has been removed on my production server and I lost all my cubes.

Any ideas to explain this issue ? Do i only need to recreate my cubes or this directory contains other files necessary to run SS2005 ?

Cheers, JL

If you restart the SSAS service with an empty DataDir it will add all the required system files and startup with no databases installed. Then you will either need to redeploy your project and reprocess, or restore a backup.|||

furmangg,

Thanks for your reply ; it was due to a disk issue but things are ok now.

Cheers, JL.
