Storage and Volumes

Create the volumes on your storage device and mount them appropriately on your TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management nodes. These volumes must be created on the primary site and the standby site. Follow the documentation provided by your storage vendor to create the volumes. Based on the capabilities of the disk replication technology available with your preferred storage device, you might have to create mount points directories and symbolic links on each of the nodes within a tier. The mount points and symbolic links are set up so that the same directory structure can be used on each Application Server host within a tier. In addition to using file system for storing configuration files, TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management uses file systems to persist operation data in various directories of file system. These directory structure must be maintained on both production and stand by sites.

Following is the list of directory used by various components of TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management and its property name. These directories must have identical directory structure on both production site and standby site and must replicated using storage-to-storage DR such as SRDF, SRDF/A.
