Testing the Enterprise Vault migrator configuration

After you have installed and registered the Enterprise Vault migrator, Veritas recommends that you test the configuration, especially if you manually registered the migrator. If you choose to not register the migrator, then you can skip this section.

This procedure helps you identify any issues in the registration of the new component. The following procedure steps you through this process.

To test the Enterprise Vault migrator configuration

  1. Determine if any Enterprise Vault partitions exist.

    • If previously configured partitions exist, proceed to Step 2.

    • If no Enterprise Vault partitions exist, first configure the partitions for migration. Then continue with Step 2.

  2. Open the Enterprise Vault Administration Console.
  3. Select a partition that has been configured for migration.
  4. Right-click on the partition and select Properties.
  5. Select the Advanced tab in the Vault Store Partition Properties dialog box and click the Test option.

    If the test is successful, a dialog appears that states the Migrator Configuration Test was successful.
