### 6.1.1. Configure the EKM Server

Complete this step before starting EKM for the first time. This step is performed on the primary cluster node only.

The configuration file `EKM_HOME/conf/ekm.xml` contains EKM configuration settings that you can change. You may want to verify your configuration settings following the EKM server installation.

To configure the EKM server, follow these steps on the primary cluster node:

- If necessary, change the `ekmUrl` setting in the `ekm.xml` file to the URL of the EKM server or the URL of the front-end web server. Refer to the `ekmUrl` setting in the Specifying General Server Settings section in the Administration Guide for details.

- Verify that the EKM job data directory (specified during installation, and captured in the `jobSourceRootPath` setting in the `ekm.xml` file) is visible to the cluster.

- In the `ekm.xml` file, configure the `clusterVisibleDirectories` setting to specify directories that are visible to compute cluster nodes. You can create entries for multiple directories if necessary. Ensure that the `jobSourceRootPath` setting (the job data directory) is set to or resides under one of the directories specified in the `clusterVisibleDirectories` setting, and that all users who will be submitting jobs have permission to read/write to this directory. For details refer to these settings in the Specifying Remote Process Policies (<remoteProcess>) section in the Administration Guide.

  Important: If you specify an absolute path for the `jobSourceRootPath` setting, it is recommended that you create a directory under the job data directory which has the same name as your default workspace (or whatever workspace users will be submitting jobs from), and ensure that every user who will be submitting jobs in this workspace has permission to read/write to this workspace directory. For more information, see EKM and RSM Job Directories in the Administration Guide.
