Using Live Stores for Capturing Files

Using Live Stores for Capturing Files
You use a Vantage Live Store as a managed output location for Primary and Secondary
Capture output. Live stores in Vantage are only used by Capture workflows, and are the
only type of store that you can use in Capture | Tape workflows.
WARNING: To ensure that Vantage Live Stores manage captured media in real
time—including deleting expired media in a timely manner by deleting files to
preserve disk space—it is very important that Live Stores are configured
correctly. Failure to do so may result in running out of storage and failure of
Capture workflows in real time.
Live Stores in Vantage refer to locations that automatically recycle expired media to
preserve disk space in real time, improving overall system efficiency.
Note: This is a practical overview of using Live Stores from the Capture perspective.
The creation, configuration, and management of stores, including as shares, is
described in the Vantage Domain Management Guide. See the Vantage Domain
Management Guide > Managing the Vantage Domain.
Each Live Store identifies a specific server and directory path (folder). Live Stores should
be created on a Capture server's D drive or on a server with the I/O capacity to support
real-time write operations for best efficiency and overall system effectiveness. You can
also create Live Stores on NAS or SAN storage systems.
Note:
stores using UNC paths when you have a Capture array.
