Recovering index locations

The following procedure describes how to recover Index locations in Enterprise Vault 7.5 and in Enterprise Vault 8.0.

Note:

Symantec recommends that you run the Enterprise Vault tools to verify the consistency of Enterprise Vault indexes and database. If inconsistency exists, rebuild the Enterprise Vault indexes. In addition, Symantec recommends that you run Enterprise Vault tools with the guidance of Enterprise Vault Support.

To recover Enterprise Vault Index locations

  1. Start with the first Enterprise Vault server in the Enterprise Vault site.

  2. Prepare this system for restore by installing the operating system and any other required applications.

  3. Install Enterprise Vault application on this system if it is not installed already.

  4. Configure the Enterprise Vault server to the Enterprise Vault directory database in the Enterprise Vault configuration.

    It may benefit you to know the Enterprise Vault topology on this Enterprise Vault server when it is time to select the Enterprise Vault backup images.

  5. Install the NetBackup client on this system if it is not installed already.

  6. Restore the index location data for all index locations that was part of this Enterprise Vault server.

  7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for each Enterprise Vault server that was a part of this Enterprise Vault site.
