# update-node-basedir

> **📝 Note**: This command is for use with Toolbox versions 1.11.4 through 1.16.0.Refer to [update-node-base-install-dir](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/reference/singlestore-tools-reference/sdb-admin-commands/update-node-base-install-dir.md) for Toolbox versions [1.16.1](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/release-notes/singlestore-toolbox-release-notes.md) and later.

## Description

Move the base directory of the node and update the corresponding engine variables. 

This command also starts the node by default. However, if you are using `systemd` to manage the node
state, consider restarting the node after this command has finished.

**Examples**

Rename the base directory to `master-3306` of the node with ID `0123ABCDEF`.

```shell
sdb-admin update-node-basedir --memsql-id 0123ABCDEF --rename-to master-3306
```

Move the base directory to `/example/path` of the node with ID `0123ABCDEF`.

```shell
sdb-admin update-node-basedir --memsql-id 0123ABCDEF --target-path /example/path
```

Move and rename the base directory of the node with ID `0123ABCDEF`. The contents of the base directory will be placed in `/example/path/master-3306`.


```shell
sdb-admin update-node-basedir --memsql-id 0123ABCDEF --target-path /example/path --rename-to master-3306
```
