Configuring sharing for a vault store group

To change the sharing levels for the vault stores in a vault store group, you must run the Configure Sharing wizard on the vault store group.

Note:

You can rerun the Configure Sharing wizard at any time, but changes you make to the vault store sharing levels do not act retrospectively.

To configure sharing for a vault store group

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site hierarchy until Vault Store Groups is visible.

  2. Expand the Vault Store Groups container to show the existing vault store groups.

  3. Right-click the vault store group for which you want to configure sharing, and on the shortcut menu click Properties.

  4. Click the Sharing tab.

    The Sharing tab lists the vault stores in the vault store group, and their current sharing levels.

  5. Click Configure Sharing.

    The Configure Sharing wizard starts.

  6. In the special case of the Default Upgrade Group, Enterprise Vault helps you to configure a fingerprint database for the group, if one does not exist already.

  7. The Configure Sharing wizard takes you through the steps to configure the sharing levels for the vault stores in the vault store group.

    If you change one or more vault store sharing levels to Share within vault store or Share within group, the wizard prompts you to run a connectivity test before the wizard makes any changes. The connectivity test helps to determine whether the network connectivity is sufficient to support the sharing configuration you have selected.

    The wizard makes no changes until you click Finish on the final page of the wizard.

    If the connectivity test shows poor results you may want to do one of the following:

    • Click Back, modify the vault store sharing levels and rerun the connectivity test.

    • Click Cancel to discard your changes.

    For more information on the connectivity test, see the Administration Console help for the Configure Sharing wizard.
