You must install the FSA Agent on an NTFS file server if you want to do any of the following on the file server:
Note: |
Do not install the FSA Agent on NetApp file servers, on EMC Celerra devices, or on Enterprise Vault servers. |
You can install the FSA Agent using either the following methods:
Run the Install FSA Agent wizard from the Administration Console. You require the user name and password of the Vault Service account. The Vault Service account must have administrator permissions on the file server.
Install the FSA Agent manually, by using one of the Windows Installer kits that are located on the Enterprise Vault server. The Enterprise Vault contains both a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version of the MSI kit. The 64-bit version supports AMD64 and Intel EM64T. There is currently no support for Intel Itanium.
For details of the prerequisite versions and service packs of the Windows operating system on the file server, see the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts at http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/276547.
To install the FSA Agent using the Install FSA Agent wizard
On a Windows Server 2008 file server, turn off the Windows Firewall.
In the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site until the Targets container is visible.
Right-click the server on which you want to install the FSA Agent and, on the shortcut menu, click Install FSA Agent. The Install FSA Agent wizard starts.
If the FSA Reporting database has been configured, the wizard asks you if you want to enable data collection for FSA Reporting. If you enable data collection, the wizard gives you the option to configure a non-default data collection schedule for the file server. You can perform all these tasks later, if you want.
See About FSA Reporting.
On a Windows Server 2008 file server, turn the Windows Firewall back on when the installation is finished.
To install the FSA Agent manually
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.
When the installation of the FSA Agent is complete, start the following services manually on the file server, if they are not already started:
