What is the volume?

A volume is a location where files are stored. A volume equates to a directory on the operating system. Files stored in volumes are created by CAD applications or other third-party applications.

Key Point:

• Teamcenter retains the volume location (directory) and the file name.

• Users should always access files in volumes through Teamcenter.

• Volumes are assigned to groups and users

• define file locations for your organization structure. 

Which role is needed for use Teamcenter organization?

The only user with DBA privilege can use a Teamcenter organization to create and modify

• Create and delete volumes.

        Alert         

Because of limitations and restrictions in NTFS file systems, Siemens PLM Software recommends creating the volume on the machine where the disk physically resides. It is important to choose a location that is constantly accessible to all users.

How to create a volume in Teamcenter?

  1. Select Volumes node from the Organization List tree.
  2. Type a unique descriptive character string in the Volume Name box.
  3. Type the name of the network node that physically contains the new volume in the Node Name box.
  4. Select the machine type on which the volume will reside: Unix or Windows.
  5. Depending on the machine type, type the full UNIX or Windows path of the new volume in either the UNIX Path Name box or the Windows Path Name box.
  6. Select the ID type (FSC, Filestore Group, Load Balancer) to indicate the element in the FMS master configuration to which the new volume element is to be added and type the ID in the ID box.
  7. The value you enter into the ID box varies depending upon where the new volume is to be added in the FMS master configuration. That location in the configuration is determined by the ID type selection.
  8. The following are examples of each ID type:
      FSC:                              Filestore Group:                    Load Balancer:
  1. When the new volume is created, you must specify where in the FMS master configuration the definition of this volume should be placed: the FSC element section, the filestore group section, or the load balancer section.
• Reload

            Makes an FMS configuration the current and active configuration. This is useful for updating the configuration with any manual changes that are made.

• Report

            Displays the master and slave FSCs currently configured and the status of each.

• Display

            Displays the contents of the FMS master configuration file. It can be useful for determining what to add to a volume, for example, an FSC ID or filestore group.

  1. Grant users or groups access to the volume, as described in Grant volume access.
  2. Click Create.
