Domino projects can access data stored in external data volumes. Domino supports the following data volumes:
-
Network File Systems (generic NFS and AWS EFS)
-
Windows Share (SMB)
When configured for use with your Domino deployment, external data volumes are automatically mounted to supported Domino executions. External volumes are supported in the following Domino executions:
-
Jobs (including Scheduled Jobs)
-
Click Data in the navigation menu.
-
Scroll to the "External Data Volumes" section.
-
Click Add External Volume.
-
Select an available volume. Click into the text area to expand a dropdown menu of available volumes, or type into the text area to quickly search for a volume.
Important -
Click Add. If your volume is successfully mounted, it’ll be listed in a table in the "External Data Volumes" section of Data.
-
Click Data in the navigation pane.
-
Scroll to the "External Data Volumes" section. If no volumes have been mounted, you’ll be prompted to mount a volume. If the project already has mounted volumes, they’ll appear here listed in a table along with the volume’s properties.
Partial volume censorship
You might encounter mounted volumes that are "greyed out" in your volume table. This means that the volume(s) have been mounted to your project, but that you do not have access to them. To gain access to the volumes, contact your Domino administrator.
Full volume censorship
Your project may contain volumes that have been mounted to the project but are not listed (that is, fully censored from view) in the volume table. A notification banner will appear above the table informing you about this. To gain access to the volumes, contact your Domino administrator.
Mounted volumes are listed in a table in the Data section of your project. The table will also display the following properties of the volume:
-
Name – An alias for the volume. To change this setting, contact your Domino administrator.
-
Type – The type of volume. Domino supports NFS, AWS EFS, and Windows Share (SMB).
-
Description – A description of the volume, set by your Domino administrator. To change the description, contact your Domino administrator.
-
Mount Path – The mount path of the volume:
/domino/edv/name-of-volume. Use this mount path when using the volume in a Job, Workspace, or other supported Domino execution.
By default, external volumes that are mounted to your project (and that you have access to) are also automatically mounted in supported executions. At the moment, supported Domino executions include Jobs (including Scheduled Jobs), Workspaces, Apps, Launchers, and on-demand Spark clusters. You can access a volume within an execution by referencing the mount path of the volume(s).
Mounted volumes in a Job
Mounted volumes in a Workspace
Mounted volumes in an App
Mounted volumes with a Launcher
Mounted volumes with an on-demand Spark cluster
External data volumes are mounted at the full mount path on the driver and all Spark executors.
