Is this a newly created user ? If yes, first run backups of this new user to the existing storage location. Then move the data to the new storage.

Is there a firewall in place ? If yes, ensure ports and services are open per this KB - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&amp;id=TECH181115

The storage which you creating must be formatted with NTFS and have a drive letter assigned to it.

Following share &amp; security permissions must be assigned to the new storage as well:-

Share Permissions on the root NTFS folder defined as the NUDF
	Administrators (group)&nbsp;Full Control
	Everyone:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Full Control
	DLO Service account: &nbsp;Full Control

Security Permissions on the root NTFS folder defined as the NUDF
	Administrators (group)&nbsp;Full Control
	Everyone:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Read and Execute
	SYSTEM:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Full Control
	DLO Service account: &nbsp;Full Control

Also, ensure that you can access the admin share of the new storage volume. For egs, if you are creating a new storage on S:\, then you should be able to access \servername\S$

Lastly, the service account used by the DLO, SQL services must be an administrator on the other machine as well.

Hello VJware,

&nbsp;

Can you please share the&nbsp; process to formatted storage with NTFS and have a drive letter assigned to it ?

Hiya Rashi,

This is more of a Windows query than a DLO one. Nevertheless, if the new storage is on another Windows machine, you can use Disk Management to format with NTFS and assign a drive letter as well. If the new storage is a NAS device, best to contact the NAS vendor for instructions.

Hello VJware,

I am able to attched the filesystem on drive&nbsp; pls check the attachment.

Now I am trying to give the permission as you mentioned above but getting error.

&nbsp;NOTE :&nbsp; liscence provided by SYMANTEC is older so we backdated all the machines may be due to which i am not able to add the permissions.

Do not use mapped drives. Use the browse option and browse to the actual system where the storage is created.
