External Data Volumes (EDVs)

External Data Volumes (EDVs) are volumes from network-attached storage systems that are mounted to the Domino system. Domino can register EDVs and attach them to projects. When an EDV is attached to a project, Domino mounts its file system when running code in that project (such as in a workspace or a job).

Once an EDV is registered by a Domino admin, Domino automatically mounts it and you can add it to your project.
