Allocating storage space

Allocating storage space
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
Prerequisites
Use these steps to specify how much data CentreVu CMS saves and
for how long. The amount of data and the length of time the data is
saved affects disk space, and is limited by your system configuration.
Data storage parameters are initially set during installation.
Wait to begin a second modification
If you are in the process of modifying data, do not open another Data
Storage Allocation window to start another modification. Wait until the
first modification finishes. You could lose data tables by doing
simultaneous modifications.
Check free space
Check the amount of free space in the Free Space Allocation window
and determine where you can allocate space for data storage. This
window shows the amount of disk space that is available for use. The
values you set in the Data Storage Allocation window affect the amount
of free space still available. See "Specifying how CentreVu CMS
stores data" in this task for more information.
Know your permission status
To view how space has been allocated, you need read permission for
the CMS System Setup command. To change data storage allocation,
you need write permission. See "Task: assigning user permissions" for
more information.
