Veritas Access GUI policies for archival storage
The Veritas Access GUI policies provide quick and easy configuration of archival storage for Enterprise Vault. The following policies are supported:
This policy gives Write Once Read Many storage and mirrors data across two devices, thus protecting against devices failures.
The key features of this archival policy are:
Fault tolerance
WORM
Prerequisites for this archival policy:
Storage pool should be configured.
This policy protects data against device failures by creating mirrored data across two devices.
The key features of this archival policy are:
Fault tolerance
Prerequisites for this archival policy:
Storage pool should be configured.
This policy protects the data against device, node, and site failures. It replicates data across two clusters. Veritas recommends that these clusters should be in different data centers. This policy mirrors data across two devices and protects against device failures.
The key features of this archival policy are:
Fault tolerance
Replication
Prerequisites for this archival policy:
Storage pool should be configured.
Replication link should be set up.
This policy provides Write Once Read Many (WORM) storage and protects data against device, node, and site failures. It replicates data across two clusters. Veritas recommends that these clusters should be in different data centers. This policy mirrors data across two devices and protects against device failure.
The key features of this archival policy are:
Fault tolerance
WORM
Replication
Prerequisites for this archival policy:
Storage pool should be configured.
Note:
For Enterprise Vault PSN to show expected behavior with episodic replication, it is recommended to configure episodic replication jobs from the Veritas Access GUI.
Note:
To ensure seamless disaster recovery for vault stores, it is important to collect simultaneously consistent point-in-time copies of the Enterprise Vault partitions, Enterprise Vault database, and associated Enterprise Vault indices on the disaster recovery site regularly. If simultaneously consistent point-in-time copies are not collected regularly for vault stores at the disaster recovery site, the recovery points and the recovery times for those vault stores may be adversely affected.
Veritas recommends that every vault store that is protected against disasters using episodic replication should have backup mode set for it before the scheduled episodic replication jobs start for partitions in that vault store. The set of simultaneously consistent point-in-time copies should then be collected for that vault store. Once the set of simultaneously consistent point-in-time copies have been collected, backup mode can be unset for that vault store resuming archival in the vault store.
