Configuring the msgPriorityDriveList.ini file

A list of priority drives with priority set to each drive is maintained by Message Server. The list supports only seven drives out of which one must be the device system drive.

Before you start, you must understand Handling Multiple Disk Drives.

Before updating the file, read the following considerations:

The drive list is read by message server only if the list is not already present in the central repository.
The drive list must be an ordered list, with the highest priority drive at the beginning of the list.
The first drive in the list which is either empty or has a valid message store will be the current drive.
The device system drive must be present in the preferred drive list. If the drive is not mentioned in the list, it will be appended at the end of the preferred drive list. The last drive hence mentioned below will be removed from the list.
If there are more than seven drives are mentioned in the list below, only first seven drives will be read.

To include the priority drives to the msgPriorityDriveList.ini file, modify it, before building the Messaging Middleware module.

Note: The msgPriorityDriveList.ini file holds the list of drives that must be the part of a priority drive list.
