Installing the Siebel File System

Each Regional Node requires a local Siebel File System. Attachment files in Siebel File Systems are replicated whenever the data rows with which they are associated are replicated. For information on creating the Siebel File System, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

The File System Manager (FSM) server component manages the File System and handles all requests for files that reside within the Siebel File System. FSM interacts directly with the Siebel File System to invoke requests for access to files. Most server components use FSM to access files by submitting requests to Server Request Manager. However, Siebel Remote components do not use FSM to access the File System. Instead, Siebel Remote components use Synchronization Manager to access the File System.
