Configuring the mounted location for the HSM file system

The Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) archive system provides long-term storage of data and access to data. Studies archived with HSM are stored to a file system.

After the HSM package is installed, a few additional configuration steps are required. You must make sure that the mounted location is set up properly and is ready for storage and retrieval of files before HSM starts to store and retrieve data to and from the mounted location.

In Solaris, by default, the location of the mount point is set to /asm and the location of the subdirectory for storing studies is set to archive.

In Windows, by default, the location of the mount point is set to C:\hsm and the location of the subdirectory is set to archive. Update the mount point to use the full UNC path and ensure that ImpaxServerUser has read and write permissions on the mount point.

To configure the mounted location for the HSM file system

  1. Log in as a service user.

  2. Open a command prompt.

    Tip

    Tip:

    To get information about the tool, type mvf-hsm-archive-add-mp -? (Solaris) or mvf_hsm_archive_add_mp.exe -? (Windows).

  3. To check the mounted location, type

    mvf-hsm-archive-add-mp -S (Solaris)

    or

    mvf_hsm_archive_add_mp.exe -S (Windows)

  4. To set the mounted location and subdirectory, type

    mvf-hsm-archive-add-mp -D directory -M path (Solaris)

    or

    mvf_hsm_archive_add_mp.exe -M path -D directory (Windows)

    where directory is the folder name and path is the directory path to the mounted location. For example, using the default mount point and subdirectory on Windows, type mvf_hsm_archive_add_mp.exe -M "C:\hsm" -D "\archive"
