Configuring Disk Stores

In addition to the disk stores you specify, VMware GemFire has a default disk store that it uses when disk use is configured with no disk store name specified. You can modify default disk store behavior.

• Designing and Configuring Disk Stores

  You define disk stores in your cache, then you assign them to your regions and queues by setting the disk-store-name attribute in your region and queue configurations.

• Disk Store Configuration Parameters

  You define your disk stores by using the gfsh create disk-store command or in <disk-store> subelements of your cache declaration in cache.xml. All disk stores are available for use by all of your regions and queues.

• Modifying the Default Disk Store

  You can modify the behavior of the default disk store by specifying the attributes you want for the disk store named “DEFAULT”.
