WhnBackground Information: When doing a default installation the weblayout, archiver and vault are installed onto the same drive as the content server.
A possible reason for changing the location may be due to disk space limitations, other network storage preferences or when there is a requirement for clustering. The steps below indicate how to change the location for theses folders that may contain a large amount of assets.
Test this procedure in a test environment prior to implementing into production.
VaultDir=<vault_location>
WeblayoutDir=<weblayout_location>
CollectionLocation=<archiver_location>
You can point these to mapped network location if required.
Here is an example of my configuration:
#Content Server Directory Variables
IntradocDir=C:/stellent/idcm1/
VaultDir=x:/stellent/vault
WeblayoutDir=x:/stellent/weblayout
CollectionLocation=x:/stellent/archiver
When the content server has been restarted, it will pull in the new configuration and will begin to use the new locations. I believe other configurations and glue files like <install_dir>\data\collections\collections.hda are automatically updated. But it is best you double check that these configurations are correct after you restart the content server.
