      Note: Ensure that the CRX repository path does not contain spaces and the content repository is available on all the nodes of the cluster. After the configuration is complete, copy the content repository from local node to all the nodes on the same location (as specified on the CRX configuration screen) .

    2. Select the repository type, as appropriate and keep a note of the following points:

      • CRX3 TAR is not supported in clustered deployments.

      • If selecting CRX3 Mongo DB, specify the Mongo database name and URL to the database. The format of the URL is: mongodb://<HOST>:<Port> .

        HOST: IP address of the machine running MongoDB.

        Port: Port number used for the MongoDB. The default port number is 27017.
