Content Manager OnDemand supports data storage in a file system repository. The file system must be locally accessible to the Content Manager OnDemand library or object server.
Perform these steps to configure Content Manager OnDemand to use a file system as external storage on an AIX, Linux, or Linux on System z server.
Two new entries must be added to the ARS.CFG file.
ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.1/config/ars.fs
ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.1/config
ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.1/config/ars.fs
ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.1/config
The ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE
entry
specifies an existing file system configuration file which the server
uses by default.
The ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR
entry
specifies the directory in which any alternate configuration files
are kept. This directory is used if additional file system configuration
files are defined. The names of these additional configuration files
can be specified when defining storage nodes in Content Manager OnDemand. If no configuration file is
specified in the storage node, the default configuration file is used.
The configuration file name and directory path shown in the examples are the recommended values for these entries.
The ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER
entry in the ARS.CFG
file might also need to be changed. If you specify ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=CACHE_ONLY
,
this disables all storage managers supported by Content Manager OnDemand.
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=TSM
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER
value
is set to TSM
.ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=NO_TSM

A file system configuration file for Content Manager OnDemand contains entries specific to your file system implementation. You specify the location and name of the default configuration file in the ARS.CFG entry or via the OnDemand Configurator. Required entries must be specified. Optional entries are not required in the configuration file unless those values need to be changed.
The following list describes the entries that can be specified in a file system configuration file.
ARS_FILESYSTEM_NAME=X:\
You can define the settings for using the file system access method on the Add a Primary Node dialog of the OnDemand Administrator client.
The Storage Node field can be set to any name you choose. It is only used internally by Content Manager OnDemand.
The Logon and Password fields are not used.
The Access Method radio button is set to Use
a file system
. For Content Manager OnDemand servers
running on all platforms except Windows, the Configuration File Name
defaults to the value specified by the ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE
parameter
in the ARS.CFG file if no value is entered. Otherwise, Content Manager OnDemand looks for the configuration
file in the directory defined by the ARS_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_DIR
parameter
specified in the ARS.CFG file. For Content Manager OnDemand servers
running on Windows, the server uses the Configuration File Name field
and the Configuration Directory field that are specified in the OnDemand
Configurator instead of using the ARS.CFG file parameters.
