About Orthanc storage expansion

Hi Sir,

In order to keep more DICOM file, we need to expand Orthanc with storage server.

We found the reference as follow,

https://groups.google.com/g/orthanc-users/c/6tGNOqlUk-Q/m/vppkAYnFAQAJ

If Orthanc only supports one storage location, how could we expand Orthanc storage on a SAN(Storage Area Network)?

Is there any configuration or plugins we can set up ?

Would you mind sharing suggestion or reference ?

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Hi,
At https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/file/Orthanc-1.10.1/OrthancServer/Resources/Configuration.json
You can define : “StorageDirectory” : “OrthancStorage”. This only allows one location.
One option would be to run multiple Orthanc server with different storage location, and load balance the storage from there.
I think you can have a look at https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/scalability.html.

One option is to use LVM and increase as you need. If you’re running orthanc in the cloud than youre usually able to increase the size of the HDD dynamically and then just fdisk/resizefs.

Could you extend on your current limitation ?
If you want to replace local storage location and move it to a SAN you can move/copy the local storage folder to the SAN. Then refer to the new location using the configuration file of orthanc with StorageDirectory.

Hi Thibaut,

Yes. I’m going to try the same way you mentioned.
Thanks for your great help.

Best Regards.
