Configuring a CIFS share as secondary storage for an Enterprise Vault store
You can use Veritas Access as secondary storage with Enterprise Vault 12.0 by exporting the file system over the CIFS protocol.
Note:
Before configuring the CIFS share path as secondary storage, you need to verify that the CIFS share path is accessible. Confirm that I/O operations can occur on the CIFS share.
Configuring a CIFS share as secondary storage for an Enterprise Vault store
- On the Veritas Access cluster, you export the file system over the CIFS protocol using the following CIFS export options: fs_mode=1777,rw,full_acl.
- On the Enterprise Vault server, open the Enterprise Vault console.
- Right-click on the partition that is created on Vault Store > Properties.
Enterprise Vault brings up the Vault Store Partition Properties window.
- In the Vault Store Partition Properties window, select the Migration tab.
- Specify the path of the CIFS share in the Secondary storage location text box.
Example:
\\IP address of the CIFS share\name of file system
- Press Apply.
