Adding Classification Server role to a Data Insight server

Veritas recommends that you deploy a standalone Classification Server because assigning a Classification Server role to an existing Data Insight node will affect its performance.

You can assign a Management server, Collector, or Collector and Indexer node to serve as a Classification Server instead of a designated standalone Classification Server. This indicates that the Data Insight node behaves as a Classification Server. However, you cannot add a Classification Server role to a pure Indexer, Self Service Portal node, and Windows File Server Agent node.

For more information about Classification Server, see the Veritas Data Insight Installation Guide.

To add the Classification Server role

  1. In the Console, click Settings > Data Insight Servers.
  2. Click the Select Action drop-down on the row corresponding to the server that you want to use as the Classification Server, and select Add Classification role.

    The option to add classification role is available only for the Management Server, Collector, or Collector and Indexer node. This option is not available when the role is already set to Classification Server.

  3. Click Yes on the confirmation message to designate the server as the Classification Server. As part of this configuration, the DataInsightVICClient and the DataInsightVICServer services are installed on the designated server.

    Note that when you add a classification role to a server, it can have a impact on the performance of the server.
