Configuring Content Store location

Last Updated : Sep 18, 2019 |

The Content Store component of Avaya Aura® MS stores media and other files for hosted applications on a disk. Avaya Aura® MS also uses the disk for SDR storage, persistent database store, and file manipulation that is unrelated to Content Store file management. As a result of the many requirements Avaya Aura® MS has for the system disk, disk performance can be an issue for some applications.

The default installation places content storage in a directory within the main Avaya Aura® MS installation path. To improve the capacity and performance of the system, configure a dedicated disk for Content Store. Content Store uses this dedicated disk for applications that have large media file storage requirements.

Note:

Changing the Content Store location is a commissioning task for new systems. If you change the Content Store location later, files remain in the original location. You can remove these files manually. After the new location is configured, files stored in Content Store prior to changing the Content Store location are not included. Restore the files from a backup file if you want to include them in the new location.

About this task

Perform the following procedure to configure a dedicated disk for use by Content Store for applications that have large media file storage requirements:

Before you begin

When you use this procedure, the system removes the current content saved in Content Store and creates a new, empty Content Store. Ensure you back up the application data before you reconfigure the storage location.

You can restore the data from a backup file after the configuration is complete if you need to preserve the data. The system restores data to the configured Content Store location.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to EM > System Configuration > Content Store > General Settings.
  2. In the File system location for content storage field, enter the full pathname, starting from the file system root, to specify the disk that the system should use for Content Store.

    For example, enter /mediafiles.

    Restore the default value or clear the File system location for content storage field to use the default location within the installation path.

  3. Click Save.
  4. Click Confirm.
  5. Perform the following steps to restart Avaya Aura® MS for the changes to take effect.
    1. Navigate to EM > System Status > Element Status and click Restart.
    2. Click Confirm.
