Configuring the file server
TrueSight Server Automation uses the file server to store the contents of files included in snapshots, Network Shell scripts, BLPackages, software packages, and other types of information that is not easily stored in the database. In addition, the file server stores registry, COM+, and metabase values longer than 255 characters.
