You are right. A shared network drive that can be written to from below mentioned 5 machines needs to be available. As far as I remember the documentation says, storage size should be 2 times that data size that is being indexed I think the 7.6.04 configuration guide calls that out So really if you know what all you will end up indexing, you could extrapolate that to provision the right size of the shared network drive

We are upgrading our currently system from 7.5 to 7.6.04 using BMC's staging method while keeping all of our proudction data. We have a total of 5 ARS servers in a server group and need to put the FTS idnex collection directory on a network drive so that they all can have access to run FTS if others fail (depends on server group ranking form). We have never used FTS before, so I'm uncertain where to begin on requesting storage for our network drive to hold the indexes.
