Configuration of CIFS shares for archival using Veritas Access CLISH
Ensure that all the prerequisites are completed such as AD settings, configuration of storage pool and setting up the replication links.
To set up the archival folder for Enterprise Vault
- Create a file system with a supported layout using the following command:
Storage> fs create striped testfs 10G 5 testpool stripeunit=128 blksize=1024 pdir_enable=no encrypt=off worm=yes
Note:
To use WORM capabilities, make sure that you turn on the WORM flag during file system creation. You can also enable WORM flag for an already created file system using the storage fs worm set command.
- Create a CIFS share by adding a directory inside the file system, with share options as rw, full_acl, and allow domain user.
CIFS> share create testfs testfs/test_directory allow=accessra.local\evuser,noguest,rw,full_acl
Where the
testfs/test_directory
is the CIFS share. - Go to the bash prompt by elevating to root. Create an empty directory inside the share, which is used as a root folder for archival data by Enterprise Vault.
cd /vx/testfs/testfs mkdir -m 0777 ev_archival
Note:
After the empty folder creation, full permission should be given to Enterprise Vault user for archival from Windows client (Enterprise Vault server). You can access the share from the Windows client (Enterprise Vault server) and configure partition.
The Veritas Access policies provide quick and easy configuration of archival storage for Enterprise Vault. You have an option to configure WORM or Non-WORM policies with or without replication.
See Veritas Access GUI policies for archival storage.
If you want to configure your archival policy with replication, perform the following steps.
To set the replication of archived files to target site
- Create a replication unit for the root folder that was created for episodic replication.
Replication> episodic repunit create source_rep1 testfs/test_directory/ev_archival
- Create a replication schedule.
Replication> episodic schedule creates schedule1 */15
- Create a replication job and enable the job.
Replication> episodic job create replicationjob sourcerep targetrep src_to_destination schedule1 evpsn=yes
