Configuring DVM deduplication cache settings
Complete the steps in this procedure to configure deduplication cache settings for DVM repositories.
1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
2.
On the icon bar, click
(Settings), and then do one of the following:
•
From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click DVM Deduplication Cache. This setting
only appears if your Core has one or more DVM repositories.
•
Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the DVM Deduplication Cache heading.
The DVM Deduplication Cache core settings appear.
3. If you want to restore default DVM deduplication cache settings at any time, do the following:
a. At the top of the deduplication cache settings area, click Restore Default.
The Restore Default dialog box appears
b. Click Yes to confirm the restore.
4. Click the setting you want to change.
The setting you selected becomes editable.
5. To change individual deduplication cache settings, enter the configuration information as described in the
following table.

This control resets DVM cache locations to system
default locations, which are described for each
setting.
Primary cache location
If you want to change the primary cache location
for DVM repositories, then in the Primary Cache
Location text box, type the path for a storage
location accessible to the Core.
The default location is:
C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery
\RepositoryMetaData\PrimaryCache
Since the primary and secondary caches are the
same size, collective storage for these two caches
requires twice the amount of space as the amount
allocated for the deduplication cache size. For
example, if you specify the default amount of 1.5GB
for the deduplication cache size, ensure that each
of the two storage locations have at least 1.5GB. In
particular, if both locations belong to the same drive
(for example, the C drive), there must be at least
3.0GB of free disk space.
Secondary cache location
If you want to change the secondary cache location
for DVM repositories, then in the Secondary Cache
Location text box, type the path for a storage
location accessible to the Core.
The default location is:
