/localdata-share
Brainspace requires that /localdata/brainspace on the Application Server be shared to the On-Demand Analytics Server (ODA) and be mounted on the ODA as /localdata-share.
A /localdata-share directory should also be made on the Analytics Server, this will not be a share directory from the Application Server, just a local directory on the Analytics Server.
