StoragePoint 6.4 - Quick Start Guide

Setting up StoragePoint

StoragePoint is entirely managed within SharePoint Central Administration on the Application Management page. Once there,  the farm-wide storage profile defaults can be configured, and storage profile(s) can be managed.

The general high-level steps to follow when setting up StoragePoint to run within the SharePoint farm are as follows:

1.Configure the Metalogix StoragePoint System Cache

This step will establish the temporary location for BLOBs during Asynchronous operations. If a cloud-based storage platform is being used or any of the additional capabilities associated with asynchronous operations, then this is a required step.

a.Click System Cache from the StoragePoint menu.
AppManagement

b.Use the chart below to enter the minimum configuration settings for system cache.
