About this task
Configuring file servers for file storage areas
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.
Configuring account settings on file servers
The following table shows the operating system user and
group on the machine where Content Platform Engine is
to be deployed that are involved in securing file storage areas. The
user and group must be defined in the directory service that the operating
system uses to authenticate users, which is not necessarily the same
directory service that Content Platform Engine Server
uses.
Configuring the remote access protocol on the client machine
When configuring the remote file access protocol (NFS or
CIFS), the client machine is the one where Content Platform Engine Server or IBM® Content Search Services are running. Configuring
the remote access protocol (NFS or CIFS) means designating a directory
(where content is be stored) so that it appears to be on the local
file system of the client machine.
