Planning your IIS storage

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
Considerations for planning the IIS storage include the following:
  • The disk groups and volumes which will host the directory and files for the web sites must be on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg).
  • For a new IIS installation, the directory for the web sites must be created on volumes on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg).
  • For existing web sites, stop the sites and then move the web site content to volumes on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg). You must also reconfigure the home directory location for the web site in IIS and then restart the web site again.
