● If you want to create a repository, select Create a Repository, and then complete the following steps.
a. On the Repository, enter the information described in the following table.
Table 91. Add New Repository settings
Text Box Description
Repository Name Enter the display name of the repository.
By default, this text box consists of the word Repository and a number, which corresponds to
the number of repositories for this Core. For example, if this is the first repository, the default
name is Repository 1. Change the name as needed.
Repository names must contain between 1 and 40 alphanumeric characters, including spaces. Do
not use prohibited characters on page 0 or prohibited phrases on page 0 .
Concurrent
Operations
Define the number of concurrent requests you want the repository to support. By default the
value is 64.
Comments Optionally, enter a descriptive note about this repository. You can enter up to 254 characters.
For example, type DVM Repository 2.
b. Click Add Storage Location to define the specific storage location or volume for the repository. This volume should
be a primary storage location.
CAUTION: Define a dedicated folder within the root for the storage location for your repository. Do not
specify the root location. For example, use E:\Repository\, not E:\. If the repository that you are
creating in this step is later removed, all files at the storage location of your repository are deleted. If
you define your storage location at the root, all other files in the volume (e.g., E:\) are deleted, which
could result in catastrophic data loss.
The Add Storage Location dialog box appears.
c. Click Add Storage Location to define the specific storage location or volume for the repository. This volume should
be a primary storage location.
d. In the Storage Location area, specify how to add the file for the storage location. You can choose to add a locally
attached storage volume (such as direct attached storage, a storage area network, or network attached storage).
You could also specify a storage volume on a Common Internet File System (CIFS) shared location.
○ Select Add file on local disk to specify a local machine, and then enter the information as described in the
following table.

Text Box Description

For example, type X:\Repository\Data.
When specifying the path, use only alphanumeric characters, the hyphen, and the period (only
to separate host names and domains). You can use the backslash character only to define
levels in the path. Do not use spaces. No other symbols or punctuation characters are
permitted.
Metadata path Enter the location for storing the protected metadata.
For example, type X:\Repository\Metadata.
When specifying the path, use only alphanumeric characters, the hyphen, and the period (only
