Mount Drive at Service Startup

For easier access, you may need to mount a specific drive automatically each time the Exalead CloudView service starts.

  1. Create a .BAT file specifying the drive to mount.

    Example: 

    @echo off
net use /PERSISTENT:NO x: \\SERVER_NAME\MOUNT_POINT
rem we execute exit /b 0 so that the return code is 0 even if the net use failed 
(e.g. already mounted drive)
rem you may have a more advanced error handling but the error code will have no impact on CloudView.
exit /B 0

  2. Edit the DeploymentInternal.xml file located in <DATADIR>/config.
  3. Add the following for ProcessInternalConfig xmlns="exa:exa.bee.deploy.v10" name="connectors.*" to indicate the path to your .BAT file: 

    <StringValue xmlns="exa:exa.bee" 
value="-Dcom.exalead.bee.Queen.preStartHookProcess=PATH_TO_BAT_FILE.bat"/>

    Note: You can define PATH_TO_BAT_FILE.bat with placeholders like ${dataDir}, ${runDir}, ${configDir}, or ${installDir}.
