File store content is managed from the Content Platform Engine application.
Ensure that the file store data is highly available and
that access to content in file stores is not interrupted. - All file stores
- File systems that are used for file stores must be shared or mounted
through the NFS or CIFS protocol.
- Each Content Platform Engine instance
in a farm must have access to the same shares or mount points.
- Standard file stores
- Standard file stores must be installed in file systems that are
highly available.
- Fixed File Stores
- The front end of the file system must be made highly available,
as indicated previously, and the remote device must be made highly
available by using its built-in capability. See your fixed file store
documentation for details.
Tip: - A fixed file store comprises a file system-based front-end, similar
to a standard file store, and a remote storage system such as Centera
or NetApp/IBM® N-Series SnapLock.
- The method and technology used to make file store data highly
available can vary greatly, from file servers built on general-purpose
hardware and cluster technology, such as IBM HACMP™, to specialized devices with
built-in high availability such as NAS- and SAN-based offerings from
EMC, NetApp or IBM.
- The implementation and use of these technologies vary, but they
can all be used to provide highly available access to data so long
as they meet the criteria discussed in this section.
