Installing the FSA Agent manually

The FSA Agent must be installed on each cluster node. You can install the FSA Agent manually if required, instead of doing so from the New File Server wizard.

You install the FSA Agent manually by using one of the Windows Installer kits that are located on the Enterprise Vault server

To install the FSA Agent manually

  1. Find the FSA Agent files on the Enterprise Vault server. The files are located in the evpush\Agent folder under the Enterprise Vault installation folder, typically C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\evpush\Agent.

  2. Run the required executable files on the file server:

    • On a 32-bit Windows system run vcredist_x86.exe

    • On a 64-bit Windows system, run vcredist_x86.exe and then vcredist_x64.exe

  3. Run the required MSI file on the file server:

    • On a 32-bit Windows system, run the following:

      Enterprise Vault File System Archiving.msi

    • On a 64-bit Windows system, run the following:

      Enterprise Vault File System Archiving x64.msi

  4. When the installation of the FSA Agent is complete, start the following services manually on the file server, if they are not already started:

    • Enterprise Vault File Blocking Service

    • Enterprise Vault File Collector Service

    • Enterprise Vault File Placeholder Service
