Title: Use of external filesystem for the Archive storage manager
Post by: obaltus on March 20, 2024, 06:26:26 AM

Hello,

I am planning an installation, and I'd like to know if external storage basically a NFS mount on the CMOD server can be used as storage for the Archive storage manager?

Thanks for your help

Hi.

It's best to use local storage for CMOD functions - database, transaction logs, cache filesystem, and temporary space for indexing and loading -- having these filesystems remote means that a network issue can bring your server down in ways that are hard to recover from.  I'd only use NFS for long term "secondary" storage.

Which platform are you using?
Archived Storage Manager (ASM) is the native storage manager used by Content Manager OnDemand for i.
ASM supports NFS mounted drives for long term archive storage.
