Configuring the policy directives after upgrading NetBackup and Enterprise Vault

Note:

After upgrading to NetBackup version 8.1.1, the drop-down list to select an Enterprise Vault version number is not displayed. Instead, now you can only select Enterprise_Vault from the drop-down list. The following list describes the policy directives for Enterprise Vault:

  • EV_DIR_DB

  • EV_MONITORING_DB

  • Specify EV_OPEN_PARTITION=Vault Store name for all vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server that is listed in the policy client.

  • Specify EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS=Vault Store name for all vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server that is listed in the policy client.

  • Specify the EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=EV Vault Store name directive for all of the vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server that is listed in the policy client.

  • EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=EV Vault Store name

  • Based on the partitions available in the vault store use the following:

    • EV_OPEN_PARTITION=Vault Store name

    • EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS=Vault Store name

    • EV_READY_PARTITIONS=Vault Store name

  • If there is no open partition specify EV_VAULT_STORE_DB=Vault Store name

  • Specify the open, closed, and ready partitions for all of the vault stores that correspond to the Enterprise Vault server.

  • Enterprise Vault does not support server-level backup of Index locations. You can use EV_INDEX_LOCATION=site name to back up all Index locations in the site.

  • Enterprise Vault does not support server-level backups. You must separate the policy into multiple policies to protect the Enterprise Vault components.

  • Enterprise Vault does not support site-level backups. You must separate the policy into multiple policies to protect the Enterprise Vault components.

  • EV_FINGERPRINT_DB

    You can use this directive to backup the fingerprint database component.

  • EV_FSAREPORTING_DB

    You can use this directive to backup the FSA Reporting database component.

  • EV_AUDIT_DB

    You can use this directive to backup the auditing database component.
