Configuring Access Appliance storage with Enterprise Vault store partition

Once a CIFS share is created for archival storage provisioning, you can configure the Enterprise Vault store partition. Access Appliance is now listed as a storage type in the New Partition dialog of Enterprise Vault. You can create a new partition under the vault store as shown in Figure: Creating a new partition.

Creating a new partition

Select Access Appliance as the Storage Type.

When you configure the Enterprise Vault store partition, specify the full path of the directory created in the CIFS share configuration step as a vault store partition location as shown in Figure: .

demoshare1 is the Access Appliance CIFS share and ev_archival is the empty directory in this share that is created through the GUI archival policy.

Note:

Veritas supports one-to-one-to-one mapping between the file system, Access Appliance share, and Enterprise Vault partition. It is recommended to use one Access Appliance file system (after creating CIFS share for the file system) as one Enterprise Vault partition instead of creating multiple directories on one Access Appliance file system and use it as a separate partition for Enterprise Vault.
