You can configure a partition for an EMC Centera device to take advantage of the Centera's device-level sharing, if required. Enterprise Vault then stores the shareable parts of a saveset as separate data blobs, so that the Centera device is able to share them.

The New Partition wizard includes an option to enable device-level sharing when you create a partition and specify an EMC Centera device.

You can also enable device-level sharing from the General tab of the partition properties.

Partitions for EMC Centera do not take part in Enterprise Vault single instance storage sharing. If you create a partition for EMC Centera in a vault store that is configured for sharing, the partition is ignored for the purposes of Enterprise Vault single instance storage sharing.
