Verifying the placeholders on Dell EMC Celerra/VNX devices

When FSA Reporting scans a Dell EMC Celerra/VNX device it assumes by default that any file that has the offline attribute set is an Enterprise Vault placeholder. This assumption enables faster scans of Celerra/VNX devices.

FSA Reporting uses the placeholder count when it calculates the space that is saved by archiving for the following reports:

  • Archive Points Space Usage Summary

  • File Group Space Usage on a Server

  • File Group Space Usage Summary

  • Storage Summary

  • File Space Usage on an Archive Point

If programs other than Enterprise Vault set the offline attribute on Celerra/VNX files, these reports may therefore show incorrect space saving information.

If you have programs other than Enterprise Vault that set the offline attribute on Celerra/VNX files, you can configure FSA Reporting to perform an enhanced scan. The enhanced scan uses an HTTP call to each file that has the offline attribute set, to determine whether the file is a placeholder. The reports can then show accurate space savings.

Note:

Placeholder verification can lengthen the time of an FSA Reporting scan on a Celerra/VNX device significantly.

To configure FSA Reporting to verify the placeholders you must set a registry value on the proxy server for FSA Reporting.

To verify the placeholders on Celerra/VNX devices

  1. Log on with the Vault Service account to the FSA Reporting proxy server for the Celerra/VNX device.
  2. Open the registry editor and go to the following registry key:

    On a 32-bit installation of Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \KVS
   \Enterprise Vault
    \FSA
      \Reporting

    On a 64-bit installation of Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \Wow6432Node
   \KVS
    \Enterprise Vault
     \FSA
      \Reporting
  3. Add a DWORD registry value named CheckEVPHOnCelerra.
  4. Set the registry value to 1 to configure FSA Reporting to verify placeholders.

    Set the registry value to 0 to revert to the default identification of placeholders by using the offline attribute.

  5. If the proxy server is an Enterprise Vault server, restart the Enterprise Vault Admin service. Otherwise, restart the Enterprise Vault File Collector service on the proxy server.
