16.1.3 Using the mount points
We need to create new shared mount points to allow the CSS server to communicate with the second IBM FileNet P8 Content Engine. We can use the VMware shared folders as shown with configuration in Figure 16.20, and using the paths as follows, on VMware ECMUKDEMO6:
/mnt/hgfs/Installs/CSSShare3
And
/mnt/hgfs/Installs/CSSShare4
We set these shared mount points up using the procedure as follows:
