Set the amount of disk space allocated to the management database.

Available disk space varies by model.

  1. On the system navigation tree, select the ELM and click Settings.png.

  2. Click ELM Configuration → Migrate DB.

  3. Set the space allocated to the management database.

    Note

    This is not a limit; it sets the amount of disk space reserved for the management database. The management database uses space beyond this setting as needed as long as disk space is available.

  4. To run the management database on an external device, select a Data Storage Device.

    Note

    The initial setup of an external device might take a long time depending on the database size.

  5. To mirror the management database, select a Mirrored Data Storage Device.
