Create a site

You can create a site at any time to organize resources based on network topology. A site represents a geographical location where resources are connected by using a fast, reliable local area network (LAN). Object stores, storage areas, content cache areas, index areas, and virtual servers are all associated with an individual site. There is no limit to the number of sites that a single Content Cortex domain can contain. Each site name must be unique within the domain.

Procedure

To create a site:

  1. Access the site folder in the administration console:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, click Global Configuration > Administration > Sites.
  2. Right-click the Sites folder and click New Site.
  3. In the new site details pane, enter the site name and description. Click Next.

    You need to specify the display name for the site.

  4. Click Finish to complete the wizard.

    After you complete the wizard, you can access the site that you created from the Sites folder.

    Note: Each site that you create must be associated with a virtual server. If not, a warning icon appears next to the site node within the Sites folder. To associate a site component like virtual server with a site, see the topic Moving site components.
