Managing the remote repositories

[EcoStruxureIT]

CIFS (Windows) mounts do not work when FIPS mode is enabled.

MD5 authentication is required for CIFS, which is not supported in FIPS mode.

FIPS mode is supported in DCE 8.2.0 and newer.

See Server access

At least one remote repository should be defined and used by the server, rather than the local repository.

If your organization uses multiple Data Center Expert servers, and Windows or NFS repository servers for remote storage, each Data Center Expert server should use its repository server. Multiple Data Center Expert servers should not store data on the same remote repository.

You can add, edit, or delete any remote repository, but not the local repository. To delete a repository, select it in the Repositories tab, and click Delete Repository.

1. Select System > Server Administration Settings > Storage Settings.
2. In the Repositories tab, select to edit or add a repository.
   To edit a repository, select the listed repository and click Edit Repository.
   To add a repository, click Add Repository and select Windows Repository or NFS Repository.
3. Configure the Windows or NFS Repository settings.
   

   For Windows, specify the NT LAN Manager authentication level: NTLM, NTMLi, NTLMv2, NTLMv2i, NTLMSSP, or NTLMSSPi.

   For NFS, select the transport protocol, UDP or TCP, and the NFS version: v2.0, v3.0, v4.0, or v4.1.

   Click Test Repository Settings. An error message identifies why the test failed, if the share settings are defined incorrectly.
   Configure the File System settings, and click Finish.

4. Use the Purge Settings tab to define when data will be purged from all online repositories that are not in an error or read-only state.
