Remova a pasta Setup Bootstrap no SQL Server 2008 para liberar espaço

Question

É "seguro" excluir qualquer uma das subpastas em C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server0\Setup Bootstrap\ da minha unidade para liberar espaço?

Ou é necessário para atualização / desinstalação e outros patches? No momento, a pasta Update Cache contém KB968369 (sp1), que ocupa 416mb, o que parece ser um candidato para liberar espaço.

    

Answer 1

De acordo com este site , você deve t. Você pode compactá-lo e remover arquivos de log, mas não deve excluí-lo.

Se eu não tivesse procurado por ele, provavelmente teria tentado procurar se algum dos arquivos estava aberto, e se não, copiei-os para um novo local para armazenamento até ter certeza de que o servidor funcionava bem sem ele e se houver um problema, recopie-os.

Então, novamente eu também sou conhecido por excluir os arquivos de atualização ocultos / compactados no diretório do Windows, que também é considerado uma má prática do que alguns disseram e não tiveram efeitos colaterais horríveis enquanto liberavam centenas de megabytes no espaço. / p>

Uma alternativa seria procurar instalar unidades maiores e expandir suas partições de disco. Dependendo da função do servidor, isso pode ser um grande projeto, mas no final, se você precisar liberar espaço em um servidor de banco de dados, provavelmente é hora de verificar a atualização desse subsistema, pelo menos.

    

Answer 2

Uma solução alternativa se você estiver com pouco espaço em disco, seria mover o conteúdo para um novo diretório em uma unidade / partição diferente e usar mklink / j para criar uma junção. Mais informações sobre junções podem ser encontradas aqui link

Questions and answers regarding SQL Server installation best practices, the files we can delete after a service pack is installed, user rights and how many instances are necessary for different application. 1. After you installed a Service Pack for SQL Server 2008 R2, is it possible to delete part of the files without altering the functioning of SQL Server? If yes, what files?

The files that are added during the installation of a Service Pack are absolutely necessary for the SQL Server instance (for which you installed the service pack) to function properly: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638062(v=SQL.105).aspx

 ”The recommended disk space requirements are approximately 2.5 times the size of the package to install, download, and extract the package. After installing a service pack, you can remove the downloaded package. Any temporary files are removed automatically.”

So the files that are added or modified during the installation of the Service Pack are absolutely necessary and is not indicated to delete them once the installation is finished.

The folder « C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server0\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache » is used to verify what are the service packs or cumulative updates already installed and it is also not indicated to delete it. Normally, as the article mentioned above explains, after the service pack is installed he will delete the temporary files he created and that are no longer necessary.

The only thing that can be deleted after the service pack is installed is the installation kit that was used to install the service pack.

Summary

The Update Cache folder for Microsoft SQL Server is found in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Setup Bootstrap\Update Cache

This article provides information to help you understand why this folder is created and what it's used for. More Information

When is this folder created and what is it used for?

When you install any SQL Server update (cumulative update, critical update, or service pack), the update installation media is cached in the SQL Server Update Cache folder. The entries in Add/Remove Programs are created from the contents of the cached media folder and are used to uninstall (as necessary) the most recent update that was applied to a particular component. The folder may contain multiple earlier updates, allowing for sequential removal of those updates if required.

A variation of this model occurs when a component was installed by a stand-alone MSI file instead of by SQL Server Setup. These components are serviced in-place by replacing the previous MSI file with the new one, without maintaining a history of previous versions. The original MSI file is required for both uninstall and repair operations.

When is this folder cleaned up or removed?

When all patches are removed from all instances, or when the product is uninstalled.

Why does the folder continue to grow in size?

The folder grows in size with each update that's applied to your SQL Server instance. This growth occurs because each earlier version must be cached. This behavior ensures that you can always access an earlier update if you need to.

What happens if you remove this folder or delete its contents?

If the Update Cache folder or some patches are removed from this folder, you can no longer uninstall an update to your SQL Server instance and then revert to an earlier update build. In that situation, Add/Remove Programs entries point to non-existing binaries, and therefore the uninstall process does not work. Therefore, Microsoft strongly encourages you to keep the folder and its contents intact.
