Copying the FSC whole file cache

You can copy all or part of the whole file cache using operating system commands, and then transfer the data electronically or physically to another site. This is useful when setting up a deployment site. Copying the whole file cache from a test environment to a deployment environment reduces the time it takes to populate the cache and improves performance. This procedure works best when both FSCs belong to the same enterprise ID, providing superior performance over a WAN. If the FSCs belong to different enterprises, follow these best practices: Set up a Multi-Site configuration between the two enterprises. Replicate the ImanFile objects belonging to the owning site as stubs at the remote site. Note Massive WFC (Whole File Cache) sometimes can be spread across different physical disk partitions. The WFC copy works if both the source and destination have the same WFC configuration (the same number of disk partitions and the same number of hash directories).
