Storage problem with my NAS

Hi,
I’ve set up my Orthanc PACS but I can’t store anything in my NAS (IP address 192.168.200.130, letter H:). I opened the orthanc file in the configuration folder of Orthanc and tried to change StorageDirectory to H:\Orthanc but it doesn’t work.
I’m using Portal to copy a study that I already have on the other pacs on Orthanc, but nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestion?

Hi

From what you say, you have a NAS drive connected to the network and if I use the letters “H” to “map” that drive, it is working in Windows. For it to work, you must do the following:

  1. Assign a NAME to the NAS (for example NASSERVER)

  2. To make it easy to locate the NAS in the network, you must configure it to work in the same DOMAIN or WORKGROUP of your network.

  3. If we take as an example that you configured it as NASSERVER and you are going to save the Orthanc information in a folder called ORTHANC, you should configure the variable “StorageDirectory” and “IndexDirectory” in the ORTHANC.JSON file as follows:

“StorageDirectory” : “\\NASSERVER\ORTHANC”,
“IndexDirectory” : “\\NASSERVER\ORTHANC”,

(it is important to put the character “****” the same amount of times that I indicate in the example)

That way it will work without problems.

Greetings

An additional consideration, if you want to have a higher speed in the work of the PACS, I recommend that you only store the studies on the NAS (it is the most information), store the index files on the C drive of your Windows computer.

“StorageDirectory” : “\\NASSERVER\ORTHANC”,
“IndexDirectory” : “C:\Orthanc”,
