Switching off NetApp device identification checks

This section describes how to switch off the automatic identification of NetApp devices by the PST Locator task during the search for computers.

Later you can identify NetApp devices manually by editing the computer properties in the Administration Console.

To switch off the automatic identification of NetApp devices you configure a setting in the file, PSTlocatorTask.exe.config. The file, PSTlocatorTask.exe.config, and an example version of the file, Example PstLocatorTask.exe.config, are located in the Enterprise Vault program folder (typically C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault). The example file contains examples of the settings that can be configured in PstLocatorTask.exe.config.

In releases before Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3, PstLocatorTask.exe.config did not exist on a default system; if required, you created the file using the example file, Example PstLocatorTask.exe.config. From Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3, a stub version of PSTlocatorTask.exe.config is created in the following situations:

The stub file contains only the following lines.

  <configuration>
	 <runtime>
		<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
	 </runtime>
  </configuration>

The upgrade process does not replace or modify any existing version of PstLocatorTask.exe.config. New settings are only added to the example file, Example PstLocatorTask.exe.config.

To switch off the automatic identification of NetApp devices

  1. On the Enterprise Vault server that runs the PST Locator task, start Windows Explorer and navigate to the Enterprise Vault program folder (normally C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault).

  2. Copy the file, PstLocatorTask.exe.config, to a safe location.

  3. If PSTlocatorTask.exe.config is the stub version of the file, then replace this file by copying and renaming the example file, Example PstLocatorTask.exe.config.

  4. Open the PstLocatorTask.exe.config file in a text editor such as Windows Notepad.

  5. Search for the following text:

    <PSTSettings>

  6. Do one of the following:

    • If you have created the file by copying and renaming the example version, then the following lines exist in the entries under <PSTSettings>:

         <!--Determine whether computer is a NetApp Filer: Default: true-->
         <add key="LocateNetAppFilers" value = "true"/>
      

      Change the setting value to "false".

    • If you created the file on a previous release, then add the following lines under <PSTSettings>:

         <!--Determine whether computer is a NetApp Filer: Default: true-->
         <add key="LocateNetAppFilers" value = "false"/>
      
  7. Save and close the file.

  8. In the Administration Console, restart the PST Locator task.
