Storage provisioning using policies
You have to configure replication and set up the replication VIP and replication link.
To configure replication
- On the Quick actions tab on top right corner of the Access Appliance GUI Dashboard, select Provision Storage.
- Under Storage type, select Storage for Enterprise Vault. Select any one of the options, Without Replication or With Replication as required. Click Next.
- In the EV setup screen, select Create CIFS share.
- Expand Basic options to configure the basic CIFS options.
Under Advanced CIFS export options, check Allow user and user group to give access to the AD user.
Add the share details and click Provision Storage.
The share configuration creates an empty directory called ev_archival inside the share, which is used for archival data by Enterprise Vault.
In the example above, CIFS network share path used for Enterprise Vault is
/vx/demoshare/ev_archival
Note:
After the share is created, full permissions should be given to the EV user for the ev_archival directory in a CIFS share from the Windows client (Enterprise Vault server).
To give ownership of ev_archival directory to evuser in EVSC domain using the chown command:
# chown "EVSC\evuser" ev_archival
