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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare the staging area. Create the base and
root directories for the staging area. See Preparing the IBM® FileNet P8 staging area.
- 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.
