Perform the following steps when installing and configuring Enterprise Vault for the cluster on the secondary site.
Be sure to read these instructions before running the Enterprise Vault Cluster Setup wizard and the Enterprise Vault Configuration Wizard on the secondary site.
To install and configure Enterprise Vault on the secondary site:
Launch the Solutions Configuration Center from Start > All Programs > Symantec > Veritas Cluster Server > Solutions Configuration Center or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu in the Start screen. Expand the Solutions for Enterprise Vault tab and click Disaster Recovery Configuration > Configure the Enterprise Vault service group on the secondary site > Enterprise Vault Cluster Setup Wizard.
Specify the same service group name and virtual server name on the secondary site as on the primary site.
For example, if the service group name on the primary site is EV_SG, use EV_SG for the service group name on the secondary site. If the virtual server name on the primary site is EV-VS, use EV-VS for the virtual server name on the secondary site.
Specify the same MSMQ and Replication Directory paths on the secondary site as on the primary site.
Use the same procedure as when configuring the service group on the primary site. Be sure to choose the wizard option to bring the service group online after creating it.
Launch the Solutions Configuration Wizard. Expand the Solutions for Enterprise Vault tab and click Disaster Recovery Configuration > Configure Enterprise Vault Server in a cluster environment > Enterprise Vault Configuration Wizard.
Follow these guidelines on the first node on the secondary site:
On the first node, select the option to create a new Enterprise Vault Server with cluster support, rather than the option to add the node as a failover node for an existing clustered server.
Select the Enterprise Vault service group that you just created as the group in which to configure the resources for the Enterprise Vault services.
When prompted to enter the SQL Server that you want to use for the Enterprise Vault database, specify the same database that you selected on the primary site. If SQL Server has been configured for high availability and disaster recovery, enter the name in the format virtualservername\instancename. For example, if the SQL virtual server name is virtualsvr and the instance name is EVSQL, enter virtualsvr\EVSQL.
The wizard detects the existing database and updates it.
When you finish running the wizard, bring the Enterprise Vault resources online and verify that the Enterprise Vault service group is online. The EV resources will be in an unknown state on the failover node because the Enterprise Vault Configuration Wizard has not yet been run on that node.
For additional information on the wizard, see the Enterprise Vault documentation.
