Hello,
I am looking to make OpenPDC works with part of the directories / files deported to a NAS shared folder located on the network (unfortunately, I can’t use a SAN drive due to technical limitations). For this I mounted the NAS share (\\NAS_FQDN\SHARE_NAME) on the E:\ drive of the physical server via a persistent net use. The AD account used to mount this drive has RWXD rights to the share. This is also the same account used for the Windows openPDC service (it works fine with this AD service account when all openPDC files/directories are on local drives).
I modified with the ConfigurationEditor tool the access paths to the Reports, Archive (historian and statistics), logs …
The openPDC service starts fine (stable in a ‘running’ state) but the console tells me that it cannot connect to it, as the OpenPDC Manager that stand in a ‘red’ state. A telnet locahost 8500 does not work: the local port is not opened/listening.
Could you please confirm that OpenPDC is able to work with one or more drive letters mounted on remote network shares ?
Thanks,
Regards
Stephane.
P.S : my openPDC version is 2.9.183.
Edit 1 : I may have found a way by using a symlink ; making a virutal folder related to the net share. It seems to be persistent event after a reboot. I also have to make the service in ‘automatic delayed’ start mode in order that the domain, network and other components required for making this configuration work goes well.
By the way, I sometimes encounter the following error on the service startup :

There are dozen of other lines of code caracterizing the erreor ; but too many to expose them on this topic.
I’m surprised because although it’s openPDC, the error message mentions openHistorian.
However, I did not find / identify any major malfunction following this error. The product still seems to work normally.
Any idea of what’s going wrong ?
