Subdirectories can be created under the root directory or under other subdirectories in the CNS tree. Subdirectories are optional, but they give structure to the CNS, allowing granular control over the organization of physical file system resources.

Make sure that a root directory is created for the name space.
  1. Navigate to Configuration > File Services > CNS.
  2. From the more actions menu of the root directory, click New Directory.
  3. In the Create Directory dialog box, enter a directory name, and then click Create.
    Note: The directory name must be between 2 and 255 characters long to be valid.
