Use this wizard to create a new vault store partition.
Each vault store must contain at least one partition. Partitions can be placed on different physical disks and on various types of storage medium. As the data in a vault store grows, you can create more partitions to provide additional capacity. Each vault store can contain only one open partition and Enterprise Vault archives data into this partition while it remains open.
There are two approaches to partition management:
You can manually change the open partition in a vault store. For example, when the physical disk that hosts the open partition reaches capacity, you can close the partition and then open one on a different disk.
Enterprise Vault provides an automatic partition rollover feature which allows you to configure partitions such that archiving rolls over from one partition to another when certain criteria are met. For more information, see the Administrator's Guide.
You can create partitions with any one of these initial states:
Select to create a closed partition. If there is an existing open partition, it is not affected by this choice. You can open the new partition at any time by editing its properties.
Select to create an open partition. Each vault store can have only one open partition. If there is an existing open partition in the vault store, it is automatically closed and items are archived to this new partition.
Select to create a new partition that is available for partition rollover.
