Configuring shared storage
About shared storage
You can use the Application Management Console to configure Connect Enterprise Server to use NAS and SAN
devicestomanagecontentstorage.ContentisanyfilepublishedtoConnectEnterprise,suchascourses;SWF,PPT,
or PDF files; and archived recordings.
The following are possible shared storage configurations:
• Content is copied to the primary external storage device and pulled to each server’s content folder as needed. Old
content is purged from each server’s content folder to make room for new content as needed. This configuration
frees resources on the application server which is especially helpful in a large cluster. (Enter a value in the Shared
Storage box and the Content Cache Size box.)
• Content is copied to all servers and the primary external storage device. This configuration is recommended for
small clusters unless you have a large amount of content that is randomly accessed. (Enter a value in the Shared
Storage box; leave Content Cache Size blank.)
Note: If you have a Connect Enterprise Server cluster and don’t configure shared storage devices, the cluster works in full
mirroring mode (content published to Connect Enterprise Server is copied to all servers) and content is never automat-
ically removed from any servers.
Configure shared storage
If you’re configuring shared storage for one Connect Enterprise Server, follow the instructions in the first task. If
you’re configuring shared storage for a cluster, follow the instructions in the first task for one computer in the cluster
and then follow the instructions in the second task for all the other computers in the cluster.

Configure shared storage
Connect Enterprise Server should be configured without shared storage and running on one server before you
proceed.
1 Configure a shared volume on a external storage device.
If a shared volume has a username and password, all shared volumes must use the same username and password.
2 (Optional) If you are updating an existing Connect Enterprise Server to use shared storage volumes, you must
copy the content from one of the existing servers to the shared volume.
a Stop Connect Enterprise Server (Start > All Programs > Adobe Connect Enterprise Server > Stop Adobe Connect
Enterprise Server and Stop Adobe Connect Meeting Server).
b Copy the folder [root_install_dir]\content\7 to the shared volume you created in step 1.
Some computers in a cluster may have extra content. Connect Enterprise cannot use these files but if you want to
copythemtothesharedvolumeforarchivalpurposes,youcouldwriteandrunascriptthatcomparesthecontentof
every computer with the content of the shared volume.
c Start Connect Enterprise Server (Start > All Programs > Adobe Connect Enterprise Server > Start Adobe Connect
Meeting Server and Start Adobe Connect Enterprise Server).
