Jira Shared Home (Jira Data Center)

[Sa Kan]

I have a separate host for shared home in my plugin. 

IP=72.26.207.21

Path=C:\Projects\Sahan\sharedJiraHome

I have defined it as below on my cluster.properties file.

jira.shared.home=\\172.26.207.21\C$\Projects\Sahan\sharedJiraHome

But looks like Jira doesn't get this location from the network. Instead it tries to create a new folder on my load balancer's C drive. 

172.26.207.21\C$\Projects\Sahan\sharedJiraHome

I am using ComponentAccessor.getComponent(JiraHome.class).getHomePath(). to get it.

Anyone has any idea on this?

Yes, Nikita you are correct. Anyway, I simply mapped the networked folder location into my local drive letter (z:)... by just right clicking on it and map drive option from the right click list.

I'm glad that everything works. :)

Cool. Thanks!

Hi Sakan,

After mapping the networked folder location into local drive letter (z:) which path we need to mention in the cluster.properties file as I am getting an error that shared home directory is not correct and cache is not replicating

Hi, jira shared home must be the same folder on all servers (nodes).

Thanks Nikita. I will try and come back.
