Configuring replication failover and exporting CIFS share from target cluster

Perform replication failover. After the replication job to failover to the target cluster is complete and the target cluster becomes the primary cluster, you can allow Enterprise Vault to continue further archival on the appliance by performing the following steps:

To set up the archival folder for Enterprise Vault from target cluster

  1. Create a CIFS share with the same name as the share present on the source cluster on the replicated file system.

    See Configuration of CIFS shares for archival using Veritas Access CLISH.

  2. Add a directory inside the file system, with share options as rw, full_acl, and allow domain user.
    CIFS> share add testfs testfs/test_directory 
allow=accessra.local\evuser,noguest,rw,full_acl

    Where the testfs/test_directory is the CIFS share.

  3. Go to the bash prompt by elevating to root. Create an empty directory inside the share, which is used as a root folder for archival data by Enterprise Vault.
    cd /vx/testfs/testfs
mkdir -m 0777 ev_archival

    Note:

    After the empty folder creation, full permission should be given to Enterprise Vault user for archival from Windows client (Enterprise Vault server). You can access the share from the Windows client (Enterprise Vault server) and configure partition.

  4. Check the IP address to which the CIFS share is mapped using the cifs share show <share_name> command.
  5. Update the DNS, modify the IP address for the FQDN which was used for the source cluster.
