Administration Console Online Help

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left panel of the console, expand Services and select Persistent Stores.
3. On the Summary of Persistent Stores page, click New > Create File Store.

   Note: Once you create a file store, you cannot rename it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the new name.

4. On the Create a new File Store page, update the following:
   1. Name -- Name for the File Store.
   2. Target -- Server instance or migratable target on which to deploy the file store.
   3. Directory -- Pathname to the directory on the file system where the file store is kept.
   4. Click Finish.

   For more information about these fields, refer to Configuration Options.

5. On the Summary of Persistent Stores page, select the file store created in Step 2.
6. On the File Store > Configuration tab, update any additional Advanced parameters as required:
   1. Logical Name -- Optional name that can be used by subsystems that need a way to refer to different stores on different servers using the same name.
   2. Synchronous Write Policy -- Specifies how this file store writes data to disk.

   For more information about these fields, refer to Configuration Options.

7. Click Save.
8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
