Overview for creating a fixed storage area

A fixed content device must be set up before it can be associated with a fixed storage area.

Procedure

To create a fixed storage area:

  1. Configure the device. Create and configure the fixed content device by using tools supplied by the software vendor. You are responsible for the necessary installation, network connectivity, and administration to make a fixed content device available to the servers in the FileNet® P8 domain.
  2. Configure a connection to the device. Run the New Fixed Content Device wizard in the administration console to configure the connection to the fixed content device. See Creating a fixed content device object.
  3. Prepare the staging area. Create the base and root directories for the staging area. See Preparing the IBM® FileNet P8 staging area.
  4. Create the storage area. Run the New Storage Area wizard in the administration console to create a storage area that uses one of your configured devices. For information about the creation procedure, see Creating a storage area. Multiple fixed storage areas can use the same fixed content device. The fixed storage area can be for any object store in the FileNet P8 domain.
