What is the best practice for mounting the archiving paths?

We have four indexers and we want to add an archiving path. What is the best solution to do this?
Is it by creating 4 different file mounts (one for each indexer) or having one file mount accessible by all indexers.

note: we are using SAN storage

Hi mussab,

Create 4 different mount points and mount one of them on each of the indexers.
Using a shared mount point will lead to various problems, and headaches 😉

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
