You must configure file servers for the initial file storage
areas of the object stores to be created, and for additional file
storage areas of existing object stores.
About this task
See
IBM®
FileNet® P8 system requirements for
currently supported operating systems for file servers.
Configuring
a file server for file storage areas involves the following general
steps, which are described in more detail in the procedures later
in this task.
Procedure
To configure file servers for file storage areas:
- Create or designate an existing top-level directory on
the file server where file storage areas will reside.
- Secure the directory so only Content Platform Engine Server can access it.
- Expose the directory via the remote file access protocol
that applies to the operating system of the file server.
- (Best practice) Under the top-level directory, create a
subdirectory for each file storage area you intend to create. If you decide to put a file storage area directly within a top-level
directory, rather than in a subdirectory, and you later decide to
create an additional file storage area on this file server, you will
have to create another top-level directory for it, because you will
not be able to use the previously created top-level directory.
