Before you configure an EV service group
Before you configure an Enterprise Vault service group, do the following:
Verify that you have installed the Enterprise Vault Cluster Setup Wizard. If you have not installed it during InfoScale Enterprise installation, use Windows Add or Remove Programs to install it.
Verify that you have configured a cluster using the VCS Cluster Configuration Wizard (VCW).
Verify your DNS server settings. You must ensure that a static DNS entry maps the virtual IP address with the virtual server name. Refer to the appropriate DNS document for more information.
Verify that the Veritas High Availability Engine (HAD) is running on the system from where you will run the Enterprise Vault Cluster Setup Wizard.
Ensure that you have Cluster Administrator privileges. You must also be a Local Administrator on the node where you run the wizard.
If you have configured a firewall, add the required ports and services to the Firewall Exception list.
For a detailed list of services and ports used by the InfoScale product, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Verify that MSMQ is installed locally on each node that will be part of the EV service group.
Ensure that you mount the shared volumes you created for EV on the node from which you will run the wizard and unmount the volumes from other nodes in the cluster.
