The FSA Agent consists of the following FSA services:

• Enterprise Vault File Placeholder service

• Enterprise Vault File Blocking service

• Enterprise Vault File Collector service (used by FSA Reporting)

These services run in the following locations, depending on the type of file server:

• For NTFS file servers, you must install the FSA Agent on the file server if you want to use placeholder shortcuts, File Blocking, or FSA Reporting.

• For NetApp filers, the File Placeholder service and File Collector service run on the Enterprise Vault server and access the NetApp device using CIFS. To implement File Blocking, you must configure a Windows server in the Administration Console as a file server, and install the FSA Agent on the Windows server to provide a File Blocking agent server for the NetApp filer.

  Note:

  An Enterprise Vault server cannot act as the File Blocking agent server for a NetApp filer. Do not install the FSA Agent on an Enterprise Vault server.

• For EMC Celerra devices, the File Placeholder service and File Collector service run on the Enterprise Vault server and access the Celerra device using CIFS. File Blocking on Celerra devices is not supported.
