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It is trying to create a database file in a path that is no longer valid file path.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
The SQL reboot and rerunning the configuration wizard did indeed resolve this issue. I was able to provision my search and profile services properly. Thanks, I appreciate the responses.
