IDSMC Database please help

[allen.external]

Oh please somebody help. My database has grown way to big. My drive space is full. Is there some where I can delete my database? Is there some place I can tell IDSMC to save on its database on my D drive instead of my C drive? I am desperate. Please somebody help.

I have attached a screen shot of the log in question. I cannot get them to shrink or prune. I have tried removing them and my IDSMC does not even start up any more. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the answer. Thanks for your help guys. Dont too many people reply at once.:^P

For those of you that want to know here you go. Also this assumes that cisco works is installed in the C:/Program Files dir. and you are using VMS 2.0

1. Navagte to the following location Via CMD prompt.

C:/program files/CSCOpx/MDC/bin/ids

2. Issue command "IdsAlarms -d -z" and wait about 30min to an hour. You will know it is done when you are back to the C:/program files/CSCOpx/MDC/bin/ids command prompt again.

3. Issue the command "net stop crmdmgtd" and Wait till Cisco Works stops

4. Iusse the command "IdsDbCompact -r" Wait another 30min to an hour for this to complete. You will know it is done when you are back to the C:/program files/CSCOpx/MDC/bin/ids command prompt again.

(note; if you dont have room on the hard drive you might need to specify a path to another drive see url http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/mon_sec/secmon12/ug/ch07.htm#131294 )

5. Issue the command "net start crmdmgtd" and Wait till Cisco Works starts.

6. Log into cisco works then go to ServerConfig>Admin>Process Management>Start Process and click on the radio button next to system and click finish.
