Set a Default Location

About this task

A default location is a server in a system which is considered when you do not specify a location while adding a data store. By default, the distributed location in the primary server is the default location. You can, however, set a different default location. The following conditions apply when you set a default location:
  • You can have only one default location in a system.
  • You cannot delete a default location.
  • You can set any of the distributed/mirror locations as default.
