Follow these steps to configure ArcGIS Data Store for use with Portal for ArcGIS.

Note that you must create an ArcGIS GIS Server site before you can create a data store.

1. Configure ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS.
2. Install ArcGIS Data Store.
3. Create a relational, tile cache, or spatiotemporal big data store.
4. If you require high availability for your data store, add a data store machine.
5. Specify a shared network location for backups.
6. If you require different types of data stores be used with your portal's hosting server, repeat steps 2 through 5 on additional machines.
