Scenario 1: One of the cluster nodes needs rebuilding

If one of the Enterprise Vault nodes in the cluster needs rebuilding, the failover node should automatically take its place. Follow the steps below to rebuild the inoperable node and make it available again as the new failover node.

To repair a single node in the cluster

  1. Install Windows and all other prerequisite software.

  2. If necessary, install VCS and configure the node as part of the cluster.

  3. If necessary, install Enterprise Vault.

  4. Run the Enterprise Vault Cluster Setup wizard. You must modify the existing service group so that the node is a member of it.

  5. Run the Enterprise Vault Configuration wizard on the failover node. You must choose to add the node as a failover node for an existing clustered server.
