Stocking the data store

After you set up a data store server, you must stock it with operating system installation files and drivers.

A data store holds several categories of information:

Operating system installers necessary for provisioning a server.
Files needed to support Microsoft Windows plug-and-play drivers.
Files and other information needed to install BMC Server Automation RSCD agents after the operating system is installed.

The following tasks describe how to set up access to a data store and then stock it with operating system installation files and drivers:
