Configuring the Centera fixed content device

Before you can create a Content Platform Engine object to represent an EMC Centera fixed content device, you must configure the device, and the device must be accessible to the Content Platform Engine network. You also use this procedure if you want to configure an Elastic Cloud Storage device as a fixed content device.

To create a connection from IBM® FileNet® P8 to the EMC Centera fixed content device:

1. Configure the EMC Centera system. Refer to the EMC Centera documentation for instructions on how to configure the EMC Centera device for use with FileNet P8.
2. Establish the Connection String value or pool address to use with the Content Platform Engine. The connection string value or pool address can include multiple Centera addresses and failover information.
   1. Create the PEA file on the EMC Centera system.
   2. Copy the PEA file to the Content Platform Engine.
   3. Reference the PEA file in the Connection String. Use this Connection String value when you create the associated fixed content device.
