Setting up a new Enterprise Vault installation with Microsoft cluster support

This section describes how to set up a first-time Enterprise Vault installation as a cluster.

Note:

If during the running of the configuration wizard you receive an error related to the configuring of the Enterprise Vault Monitoring database, complete the configuration wizard and refer to Troubleshooting configuration of the Enterprise Vault Monitoring database.

To set up a new Enterprise Vault installation with Microsoft cluster support

  1. Install Enterprise Vault on all the nodes that are to run Enterprise Vault, both primary and failover, but do not run the Enterprise Vault Configuration wizard on any node at this stage.

  2. Configure the Enterprise Vault servers that are to act as clustered servers.

  3. Configure Enterprise Vault on the nodes that are to act as failover nodes.

  4. Test the cluster to ensure the failovers work as planned.
