Installing and configuring Veritas Storage Foundation HA for Windows with Enterprise Vault

Except where noted, you can get detailed instructions on how to perform the steps outlined in this section from the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions Guide.

To install and configure Veritas Storage Foundation HA for Windows with Enterprise Vault

  1. Install Veritas Storage Foundation HA for Windows (SFW HA) 4.3 or later on each node that is to be a part of the cluster. There are several stages to this process:

    • Review the product installation requirements, disk space requirements, and requirements for SFW HA.

    • Configure the network and storage.

    • Install SFW HA.

  2. If you have installed SFW HA 4.3, upgrade to 4.3 MP1. For detailed instructions, see the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 4.3 Maintenance Pack (MP) 1 Release Notes.

  3. Configure the cluster by running the VCS Configuration wizard.

  4. Install Enterprise Vault on all systems in the cluster.

  5. Configure the disk group and volumes from the first node.

    You must create shared volumes to store the following:

    • Indexing service data

    • Shopping service data

    • Vault store partitions

    • PST holding folders

    • EMC Centera staging areas

    We also recommend that you create separate volumes to store the MSMQ and registry replication data.

  6. Mount the volumes on the system where you will configure the Enterprise Vault service group.

  7. Configure the Enterprise Vault service group.

  8. Run the Enterprise Vault Configuration wizard to create the Enterprise Vault services and resources.

  9. Verify the cluster configuration and test the failover capability.
