Installing the Siebel File System on the Regional Node

Each regional node requires a local Siebel File System. If Replication Manager replicates the data rows that exist in file attachments in Siebel File Systems, then it copies these file attachments to Siebel File Systems on the regional nodes.

The File System Manager (FSM) server component manages the file system and handles requests for files that reside in the Siebel File System. To make requests for access to files, the File System Manager interacts directly with the Siebel File System. To access files, most server components send a request to Server Request Manager to use the File System Manager. Server components for Siebel Remote do not use File System Manager to access the file system, but instead use Synchronization Manager.

To install the Siebel File System, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
