File Server Properties: General (NetApp)

Settings:

Configure pass-through recall. Select this option to configure pass-through recall with placeholder shortcuts. On receipt of a read request for a placeholder, Enterprise Vault then passes data directly to the calling application. Enterprise Vault recalls the file to the file server, subject to permissions, only for a write request: for example, if the calling application requires a writeable file, or if the user attempts to save changes to the file.

You may want to configure pass-through recall when you have placeholders on a read-only file system, such as a file system snapshot. A normal placeholder recall fails for a read-only file system because Enterprise Vault cannot write the recalled file to the file system.

Note:

For NetApp file servers, the pass-through recall feature works only with read-only file systems. Pass-through recall is ignored for read-write file systems.

Enterprise Vault requires a disk cache for the pass-through recall feature when it recalls larger files, to reduce recall times. For NetApp file servers you must use the cache that is defined in the properties of the Enterprise Vault server. You must configure this cache if it is not already present, otherwise pass-through recall fails.

To configure the Enterprise Vault server cache, perform the following steps in the order shown:
