Configuring the policy directives after upgrading NetBackup and Enterprise Vault

After an upgrade, you must change the Enterprise Vault version in the policy information. The following list describes the policy directives for Enterprise Vault:

  • EV_DIR_DB

    This directive remains the same from Enterprise Vault 10.0 to later versions.

  • EV_MONITORING_DB

    This directive remains the same from Enterprise Vault 10.0 to later versions.

  • 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

    This directive remains the same from Enterprise Vault 10 to later versions.

  • 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.

  • An Enterprise Vault, server-level backup of Index locations is not supported for EV 10.0. You can use EV_INDEX_LOCATION=site name to back up all Index locations in the site.

  • Enterprise Vault 10.0 and the later versions do not support server-level backups. You must separate the policy into multiple policies to protect the Enterprise Vault components.

  • Enterprise Vault 10.0 and the later versions do not support site-level backups. You must separate the policy into multiple policies to protect the Enterprise Vault components.
