Identifying the proxy server for FSA Reporting file collection

For NetApp and EMC Celerra file servers, an Enterprise Vault server acts as a proxy server for performing the FSA Reporting file collection.

From Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP3 onwards, each Enterprise Vault server in a site can act as the proxy server for one or more non-NTFS file servers, to share the overhead.

See About the FSA Reporting proxy servers for NetApp and EMC Celerra data collection.

If you have more than one Enterprise Vault server in the site, you can examine the EnterpriseVaultFSAReporting database to determine which Enterprise Vault server acts as the proxy server for a particular NetApp file server or Celerra file server.

To identify the proxy server for FSA Reporting file collection

  1. For Microsoft SQL Server 2000, start Enterprise Manager. For Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008, start SQL Server Management Studio.

  2. Expand the container for the EnterpriseVaultFSAReporting database.

  3. For SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005, right-click the FileServerConfiguration table and select Open Table.

    For SQL Server 2008, right-click the FileServerConfiguration table and select Edit top n rows.

    This table records information for the file servers that are enabled for FSA Reporting.

  4. Identify the file server in the ServerName column. For NetApp and Celerra file servers, the entry in the ProxyServerName column specifies the Enterprise Vault server that performs the FSA Reporting file collection.
