Enterprise Vault agent requirements

Review the following requirements before you use the Enterprise Vault agent:

  • Ensure that the Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML 6.0 or later) are installed on the Enterprise Vault server. You can download and install MSXML from Microsoft Corporation's website.

  • Install the NetBackup client (which includes the Enterprise Vault agent) on the client that runs the Enterprise Vault Storage service and Enterprise Vault index service. If Enterprise Vault uses a storage device such as NetApp to store archived data, the EV Agent uses Microsoft's Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol to access the data.

  • Because this agent is installed with the NetBackup client software, you must also install the client on any system that hosts an Enterprise Vault SQL database.

  • Verify that Enterprise Vault is supported on your operating system.
