Distributing local voice users evenly over volumes
Introduction
Meridian Mail systems can have from one to five nodes, each of
which contains a hard disk drive for data storage. These disk
drives are partitioned into volumes.
When you add a local voice user, the user must be assigned to a
particular volume. This is where all user-related data and voice
are stored, such as mailbox information, personal greetings,
voice messages, and voice prompts.
User volumes
This table indicates user volume names and where they are
distributed across the various nodes.
Note:
The asterisk (*) indicates that the volume contains only
voice prompts and is considered to be a system volume, not a
user volume.
The default volume
When you press the [Add] softkey to enter the Add a Local
Voice User screen, the volume that is selected as the default is
the volume with the greatest amount of free space at that time.
All users that you add during a single session are added to that
volume by default, unless you specify otherwise.
When you exit the Add a Local Voice User screen and then
reenter it, the system reassesses which volume has the most
available space and that volume becomes the new default.
