The fully qualified path to the root directory for this index area, file storage area, or advanced storage file system device. The path can be a local mount point, a local path, or a UNC path.

For CmTextSearchIndexArea objects, the root directory is used by IBM® Content Search Services servers to store IBM Content Search Services indexes within a given index area. All the IBM Content Search Services servers that belong to the same object store site that contains the index area must be given read and write permissions to this directory. If the root directory that you specify does not exist on your machine, the server will create one.

If you assign an affinity group to an index area, only the IBM Content Search Services servers assigned to that affinity group need to have read and write permissions to the root directory of the index area; it is not necessary to assign permissions to the other servers in the site. When an index area is assigned to an affinity group, it is recommended that you use a root directory that is local for all the IBM Content Search Services servers in the affinity group. Doing so can improve performance because input/output operations are faster for local disks.
