Configuring the policy directives after upgrading NetBackup and Enterprise Vault
After the upgrade, you must change the policy directives. You must remove all of the Enterprise Vault 7.5 directives and replace them with the Enterprise Vault 8.0 directive set. If you do not make this change the Enterprise Vault policy backups can fail. The following procedure explains how to remove and add policy directives.
To change the Enterprise Vault 7.5 directives to directives for Enterprise Vault versions 8.0 and later
- Modify the policy directive list to use the Enterprise Vault directive set. Double-click on an existing policy to see the current configuration of that policy.
- Open the Backup Selections tab. From this tab, you can now remove the old directives and add the directives of Enterprise Vault versions 8.0 and later.
- Use the following table to determine which Enterprise Vault 8.0 and later version directive corresponds the previous Enterprise Vault 7.5 directive.
Directives in Enterprise Vault 7.5
Corresponding directives in Enterprise Vault versions 8.0 and later
EV_DIR_DB
EV_DIR_DB
This directive remains the same from Enterprise Vault 7.5 to Enterprise Vault 8.0 and later versions.
EV_MONITORING_DB
EV_MONITORING_DB
This directive remains the same from Enterprise Vault 7.5 to Enterprise Vault 8.0 and later versions.
EV_OPEN_PARTITIONS
Specify EV_OPEN_PARTITION=Vault Store name for all vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server that is listed in the policy client.
EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS
Specify EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS=Vault Store name for all vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server that is listed in the policy client.
EV_VAULT_STORE_DB
Specify the EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=EV Vault Store name directive for all of the vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server that is listed in the policy client.
EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=EV Vault Store name
EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=EV Vault Store name
This directive remains the same from Enterprise Vault 7.5 to Enterprise Vault 8.0 and later versions.
EV_VAULT_STORE=EV Vault Store name
Based on the partitions available in the vault store use the following:
EV_OPEN_PARTITION=Vault Store name
EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS=Vault Store name
EV_READY_PARTITIONS=Vault Store name
If there is no open partition specify EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=Vault Store name
EV_VAULT_STORE
Specify the open, closed, and ready partitions for all of the vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server.
EV_INDEX_LOCATION
An Enterprise Vault, server-level backup of Index locations is not supported for EV8.0. You can use EV_INDEX_LOCATION=site name to back up all Index locations in the site.
EV_SERVER
Enterprise Vault 8.0 and the later versions do not support server-level backups. You must separate the policy into multiple policies to protect the Enterprise Vault components.
EV_SITE
Enterprise Vault 8.0 and the later versions do not support site-level backups. You must separate the policy into multiple policies to protect the Enterprise Vault components.
