41. The server is now configured to use the NAS share for the Archive service.
42. Restart the server.
NOTE:
Once an Archive is configured and media is started to upload to the archive, do not change the settings (except the service
name) as access to the data will be lost.
Configuring a SAN Archive
San Archives are configured in a similar way to NAS Archives. Before starting, check that theVision2 server used to host the SAN
archive has permission to read/write from the SAN. Next map the SAN as a network drive on this server using the I drive (note
windows search is set on the I drive so do not use another drive letter). Follow the instructions for configuring a NAS Archive. Use
ArchiveService2SAN in all cases instead of ArchiveService2NAS and replace \\NAS\NASArchiveService with the name of the folder
to use on your SAN e.g. I:\vcContent\Archive1. Use an account that has read/write permissions on the SAN.
