Getting this warning CRJZS6045W...My unix admin is asking if we can move the /opt/IBM/...to another location (off of root) and not create an outage?

In general you should move the indexes to an absolute location. It depends if you can do that while the server is running. Not all versions can stop the indexer. I would consider to stop the server to be sure.

What your UNIX admin is asking for is not unreasonable.  It's not a particularly good idea to have something installed directly on the root volume that is constantly growing and causing the volume to fragment.

It is possible to resolve the issue quickly and easily by moving the product to a different volume and linking its mount-point back into /opt/IBM [see http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?mount] or by using a symbolic link [see the -s option in http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ln]
