Changing the File Vault Location
Administrators can change the location of the file vault in the file system on the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server. PTC recommends that you always back up file vault content before changing the vault location and moving the contents of the vault.
To change the file vault location:
1. Stop the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server.
2. Create the new file vault directory in the new location. If the vault location does not exist, the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server will not start.
3. Manually copy the contents of the file vault from the current location to the new file vault location.
4. Update the vault location for this Integrity Lifecycle Manager instance to point to the new file vault location. Modify the following property in the si.properties file under IntegrityServerinstalldir/config/properties:
si.vault.location=root directory of the new Configuration Management vault file location
* 
The file vault location specified must be a directory other than the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server installation directory.
The Integrity Lifecycle Manager server requires read/write access to the file vault directory. Ensure that the account that is used to run the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server has read/write access.
The path format used depends on which operating system the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server is running on. If the server is running on Linux or some other form of Unix, the vault path must be a Unix-style path. On a machine running Windows, the vault path must be a Windows-style path, a direct UNC path, or a mapped drive for a network path. Forward slashes “\” are supported but they must be escaped with a second forward slash “\\”.
5. Start the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server.
