Use the Cache Manager to specify partitions or subdirectories on stations to use as image cache or web cache. You can create cache volumes only from the server where the Administration Tools are installed; you cannot do so remotely through a browser login.
To create cache volumes
On the Daily tab, click Cache Manager.
Click New Cache Volume.
In the Add Volume dialog, select the Volume Type to create: Image Cache or Web Cache.
From the Station list, select the station to set up the cache on.
For a web cache, select the station that the master Curator runs on.
In the Path field, type the path for the new cache volume.
On Windows, cache locations must be specified using UNC paths. On Solaris, cache locations must be set up using a mount point. Also refer to the Path consideration list that follows.
Click Add.
In the Warning dialog, verify that the path is correct and click Yes.
To select the cache volume to fill with images first, select the volume in the list and click Increase Priority
or Decrease Priority. 
If the cache volume is hosted remotely or if you are setting up network area storage (NAS), after the cache is created, create a user account for the ImpaxServerUser on the system hosting the cache and give the ImpaxServerUser full read, write, and execute permissions on the cache folder.
Considerations when defining the cache volume path
When creating a cache on a Windows system, do not use a trailing slash or backslash at the end of the volume path. For example, when creating an image cache, do not type \\server\f$\CACHE1\; instead, use \\server\f$\CACHE1. Defining the cache volume with a trailing slash or backslash can cause problems in retrieving images from the cache.
If Curator and Network Gateway components are installed on the same server, all caches on the system (image and web) must be shared. Shared caches are specified without the volume letter; for example, instead of \\server\f$\CACHE1, use \\server\CACHE1.
 | Note: If cache volumes are assigned to a subdirectory on a partitioned hard drive, the values shown in the Available and Occupied columns in Cache Manager refer to the entire partition, not the subdirectory. |
