Notes and recommendations
Note the following:
Check that the prerequisites for Enterprise Vault are satisfied, as described in the Installing and Configuring guide. The manual is in the
Documentationfolder of the Enterprise Vault media.Also see the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts at http://www.veritas.com/docs/000097605 for the latest information on supported software and storage devices.
Backup Exec Archiving Option does not support installation on clustered servers. Consequently, each upgraded installation of Enterprise Vault has its own Directory database. For this reason:
You cannot convert such Enterprise Vault servers to servers with cluster support using the Convert to Cluster wizard.
If you upgrade to Enterprise Vault from multiple Backup Exec Archiving Option deployments, you cannot add the Enterprise Vault servers within a single site.
You cannot have a multi-site Enterprise Vault deployment after you upgrade from the Backup Exec Archiving Option. This is because during the Backup Exec Archiving Option installation, Backup Exec adds a hard-coded value for the Enterprise Vault site alias in the
hostsfile. You cannot create multiple Enterprise Vault site aliases of the same name in the domain controller.If you delete an archive job for a particular volume in Backup Exec Archiving Option then archiving is disabled for these volumes after the upgrade. You need to manually enable archiving for these volumes.
Do not uninstall Backup Exec from media servers where you have upgraded from Backup Exec Archiving Option to Enterprise Vault. Uninstalling Backup Exec from such media servers uninstalls Enterprise Vault. Veritas is working to resolve this issue.
