Setting the cache location for each Enterprise Vault server

This section applies if you upgraded to Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP4 from Enterprise Vault 2007. If you upgraded from any version of Enterprise Vault 8.0 you can ignore this section.

Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP4 uses a server cache on each Enterprise Vault server, as follows:

As a temporary server store for items that need to be downloaded to users' Vault Caches.
To store temporary files when retrieving from Celerra devices.

There is now a minimum size of 10 GB for the server Cache location and the default size is 20 GB.

You must set a server cache location for each Enterprise Vault server if you intend to use Vault Cache or if you use a Celerra device with Enterprise Vault.

The Vault Service account must have read and write access to the location you select.

Because anti-virus software can potentially change data in the cache, it is important to exclude the cache location in your virus checking application.

To set a cache location

Start the Administration Console and expand the Enterprise Vault Servers container.
Do the following for each Enterprise Vault server:
- Right-click the Enterprise Vault server and, on the shortcut menu, click Properties.
- Click the Cache tab.
- Specify the Cache location that you want to use.
- Specify the Maximum cache size.
- Click OK.

Note that the changes you make on a server do not take effect until the next restart of the Admin service on that server.
