Creating a DVM repository
88
CAUTION:
Define a dedicated folder within the root for the storage location for your repository. Do not
specify the root location. For example, use
E:\Repository\
, not
E:\
. If the repository that you are
creating in this step is later removed, all files at the storage location of your repository are deleted. If
you define your storage location at the root, all other files in the volume (e.g.,
E:\
) are deleted, which
could result in catastrophic data loss.
The Add Storage Location dialog box appears.
6. Click Add Storage Location to define the specific storage location or volume for the repository. This volume
should be a primary storage location.
7. In the Storage Location area, specify how to add the file for the storage location. You can choose to add
a locally attached storage volume (such as direct attached storage, a storage area network, or network
attached storage). You could also specify a storage volume on a Common Internet File System (CIFS)
shared location.
