StorNext Support Directory Location Recommendations
The snPreInstall script also provides recommendations for StorNext support directory locations.
The recommendations are made with the following considerations:
1In descending order (from greatest to least,) the order of space required is Database, Metadata,
Backup, Mapping, and Journal.
2The Database and Journal should be on separate file systems for integrity reasons.
3The Journal and Metadata should be on separate file systems for performance reasons. Both file
systems will have lots of head movement during normal operation.
4The Database and Metadata should be on separate file systems for performance reasons. Both
file systems will have lots of head movement during normal operation.
5The Mapping and Metadata should be on separate file systems for performance reasons (during
mapping operations).
6The Backup directory should be on the largest of the managed file systems.
Note ADIC recommends moving directories through the installation menu (option 1,
Installation Configuration) rather than moving them manually.
