Out of disk space - Move to NAS

[j666gak]

Hello,

I am currently running a trial of Splunk which finishes at the end of the week. This morning there is a message within Splunk and the server its on is out of disk space.

What is the easiest way to move data on to a NAS or something, move buckets from the defaultsdb\db directory?

Many thanks for looking

One comment about migrating to NAS. Splunk does not recommend - except for in very well-defined situations - using NFS for hot bucket storage. If your NAS supports it, you may have increased success using iSCSI.

On the other hand, if you only use NAS/NFS for cold bucket storage, it should work reasonably well there.
