Enterprise Vault™ Installing and Configuring

There are two approaches to the management of open vault store partitions:

• You can manually change the open partition in a vault store. For example, when the disk that hosts the open partition reaches capacity, you can close the partition and open a partition on another disk.

• The automatic partition rollover feature which lets you configure partitions such that archiving rolls over from one partition to another when certain criteria are met. For example, you can configure a partition to roll over when the disk that hosts the open partition has only 5% free space. You can also configure partitions to roll over on a date that you set. For more information, see the Administrator's Guide.

To support both these features, during the creation of partitions, you can choose any one of these initial states:

• Select Closed to create a closed partition. If there is an existing open partition, it is not affected by this choice. You can open the new partition at any time by editing its properties.

• Select Open to create an open partition. Each vault store can have only one open partition. If there is an existing open partition in the vault store, it is automatically closed and items are archived to this new partition.

• Select Ready to create a new partition that is available for partition rollover.

  Note:

  This option is not available for a smart partition.
