The SET_STORAGE_STATE administration method changes the state of a storage area. A storage area is in one of three states:
On line
An on-line storage area can be read and written to.
Off line
An off-line storage area cannot be read or written to.
Read only
A read-only storage area can be read, but not written to.
You can use SET_STORAGE_STATE only when one server handles both data and content requests. If your configuration uses separate servers for data requests and content file requests, you must issue a Connect method that bypasses the content file server to use SET_STORAGE_STATE in the session.
The SET_STORAGE_STATE method returns TRUE if the operation succeeds or FALSE if it fails.
You must have system administrator or superuser privileges to use the SET_STORAGE_STATE method.
To run the SET_STORAGE_STATE administration method:
Navigate to Administration > Job Management > Administration Methods.
The system displays the Administration Methods list page.

Select a storage area from the Store drop-down list.
The current state of the storage area and the states to which it can be moved are displayed.
To change the storage area’s state, click the radio button for the correct state.
Which radio buttons appear depends on whether the storage area is online, offline, or read-only.
