Once File Storage drive has been configured, and is available to the worker roles, the region can be configured to use it, in a similar way to an on premise deployment.
For example, to use the drive to store the transaction dll's, maps etc, and configure the region to load them, do the following:
- Deploy the region startup file, and, if you are configuring a CICS region, the resource definition file into SQL Azure. An example of how to do this can be found in the ACCT sample deployment example.
- Once the region startup file is deployed, define the region as described in the
Defining an Azure Region section.
- Edit the Region Startup configuration, as described in the
Configuring Regions and Resources.
- Set the path names to the deployed objects on the azure drive and save the configuration.
For example, If you configured the file Storage drive to have a drive letter M: you might configure the Application Program Paths node to contain "m:\programs".
