Creating an Optim Managed Data Store instance on a proxy

An Optim managed data store (OMDS) allows you to relocate operational data from multiple heterogeneous data sources into a single low-cost alternate storage facility, while preserving the structural and metadata attributes from the source data.

Only users with a user role of admin can create an OMDS instance on a proxy.

To create an OMDS instance on a proxy using the manager:
  1. Click Configuration.
  2. Click Proxies.
  3. Click the proxy on which you want to create the OMDS instance.
  4. Click Create OMDS Instance.
  5. Enter a name for the OMDS instance and the subdirectory that you want to use to store the OMDS instance. The subdirectory that you enter is relative to the OMDS directory on the proxy. For example, if the OMDS directory on the proxy is C:\mdsdata and the subdirectory that you specify for an OMDS instance is \level1, the full path of the OMDS instance is C:\mdsdata\level1. For better performance, add only one level of subdirectory to the proxy's OMDS directory.
