Moving the Configuration Archive Directory
You can move the directory where the configuration of the devices can be archived on the RME server.
The default Configuration Archive directory is:
On RME Solaris server,
/var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma
On RME Windows server,
NMSROOT\files\rme\dcma
Where NMSROOT is the CiscoWorks installed directory.
The new location specified by you should have the permission for casuser:casusers in Solaris and
casuser should have Full Control in Windows.
Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
privileges to perform this task.
The following is the workflow for moving the configuration archive location:
