Read this section if you use FSA Reporting with non-Windows file servers.
An FSA Reporting proxy server performs FSA Reporting scans on non-Windows file servers. Previous versions of Enterprise Vault provided the following support for FSA Reporting proxy servers:
Before Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3, Enterprise Vault assigned the job of proxy server to the Enterprise Vault server that was listed first in the FSA Reporting database's table. So a single Enterprise Vault server often acted as proxy server for all of the non-Windows file servers in a site.
From Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3 onwards, Enterprise Vault distributed the job of FSA Reporting proxy server for non-Windows file servers between the Enterprise Vault servers in a site.
From Enterprise Vault 9.0, any of the following can act as an FSA Reporting proxy server, subject to some additional prerequisites:
The upgrade retains the assigned FSA Reporting proxy servers. After the upgrade you can reallocate the FSA Reporting proxy servers, if you want.
The resource demand on an FSA Reporting proxy server can be significant. For scalability we recommend that you use a separate FSA Reporting proxy server for each non-Windows file server, if possible.
