I’ve set up a 2013 Farm, and our database server’s default file path has changed. When I try to provision any service (Search, Profiles), SP attempts to create a database for the service app, I get the exception below in red.
New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : A database exception occurred when creating Search Application: Directory lookup for the file “L:\Databases\SQLDATA\IntranetSearch.mdf”
It is trying to create a database file in a path that is no longer valid file path. The SQL Server default path has changed to another mapped letter. How do I tell SharePoint to update where it should be putting these when I’m provisioning a service. I’ve tried both through the central admin and through Powershell.
Thanks
Hi Henry,
Thanks for the response. Our DBA will be restarting SQL server this evening during our maintenance window and I’ll run the config wizard again.
Are there any ramifications to running the config wizard to an established farm? I’ll follow up tomorrow morning with the results of this.
Thanks
