Upgrading Domino mailbox archiving

This section describes how to upgrade Domino mailbox archiving.

To upgrade Domino mailbox archiving

  1. Make sure that you have a suitable version of the Notes client installed on the workstation from which you want to run EVInstall.nsf.

    See Domino client version required to run EVInstall.nsf.

  2. Do the following in the order listed:

    • From your chosen workstation, connect to the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway server and run EVInstall.nsf.

    • In the application page, select the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway and a target Domino mail server.

    • If you use the browser-based Enterprise Vault Search facilities or you require iNotes (DWA), select Modify Domino Web Access Forms Files.

    • Click Install Veritas Enterprise Vault 14.1 database design templates to start the process.

      The application takes several minutes to create the new Enterprise Vault templates.

  3. Deploy the templates created on the Domino mail server to each target Domino mail server that has the same Domino Server version. For example, if you ran EVInstall.nsf against a Domino Server 9.0 target server, deploy the templates to all Domino Server 9.0 mail servers.

    Deploy the templates by creating replicas of the Enterprise Vault mail templates and running Load Design on each mail server.

    It is important that you copy the templates created on the Domino mail server and not those created on the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway.

    Note that the command Load Design updates all databases on the server. It may be quicker to restrict the scope of the command so that it updates just those databases that need changing. In this case, use the command's -I or -d or -f switches to update all Enterprise Vault mail databases that have had any of the following templates applied to them:

    • ev_dwa*.ntf

    • ev_iNotes*.ntf

    • ev_Mail*.ntf

    See the Domino help for more information about Load Design switches.

  4. If you have other target mail servers with different Domino Server versions, do the following until you have deployed the templates to all mail server targets:

    • Run EVInstall.nsf again.

    • In the application page, clear the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway selection.

    • Select a target Domino mail server.

    • If you require iNotes (DWA), select Modify Domino Web Access Forms Files.

    • Click Install Veritas Enterprise Vault 14.1 database design templates to start the process.

      The application takes several minutes to create the new Enterprise Vault templates.

    • Deploy the templates and run Load Design as before, on each mail server.
