## Create a Vault

| Vaults define and reserve a protected part of a storage media on individual computers or within a network. Access to this areas must go through the Agile e6 file management system and is restricted to users with the necessary access rights. Generally speaking, storage areas can be defined on any storage media within a network. Vaults in a network are defined on the operating systems level using system privileges. Vault management functions of Agile e6 can be found in the File Server FMS-Vault mask. It is reasonable to create only such vaults that physically exist in order to ensure system integrity.
| Select Manager > File Management > Vaults. The FMS-Vault mask is opened.

| Create the vault on the FileServery by using the FMS administration tool (fms_adm). See file The File Server Administration Program for UNIX. e.g. fms_adm -h fmsHost -n 804257548 -c FMS -p /app/fms/vaults/test_vault/
| Add the vault to the configuration file filserver.cfg. The configuration file is located in the FileServer root directory and lists all standard vaults. # # This is the default configuration file for the Agile e6 File Server. # # You may adapt this file to your needs, but be aware that any change # may have severe consequences on performance and memory consumption. # # This file is not changed by the application. # # --- Allowed vault path section --------------------------------------------- # # Only vaults defined in this section are accessible by the File Server. # Syntax: <vault name>=<vault path> # Tip: use the PLM vault name to make it easier to synchronize the vault # definition within PLM with the allowed paths. # # The standard vaults are predefined. # [Vaults] FMS=fms/ EIF=area/ PUB=pub/
| Reload the configuration using the FMS administration tool. e.g. fms_adm -h fmsHost -n 804257548 -r
