To configure Enterprise Vault to use the name of the new SQL Server that holds the Directory database
-
At each Enterprise Vault server, use Enterprise Vault to change the name of the previous SQL Server computer. Change the name to the name of the SQL Server computer that now holds the Directory database.
See your Enterprise Vault documentation.
-
Restart the Enterprise Vault Admin service on all Enterprise Vault servers that use the Directory database.
Two directory names appear in the backup selections view after you restart the Enterprise Vault Admin service on the Enterprise Vault server.
For example, Directory on \<OldSQL_computer_name\> and Directory on \<NewSQL_computer_name\>).
-
On the Backup and Restore tab, right-click the Enterprise Vault server that you want to back up.
-
On the Backup menu, select the backup definition that you want to use.
-
In the Selections box, click Edit.
-
Expand Directory on \<SQL server computer where you moved the Directory database\>.
-
Expand all items under Directory on \<SQL server computer where you moved the Directory database\>.
The Directory and Monitoring databases, Enterprise Vault 8.x, 9.x, or 10.x FSA Reporting and Audit databases, and the Enterprise Vault sites should appear. In addition, the Directory database should display the new SQL Server name and instance where it was redirected.
When you configure a new Directory database backup job, you must select the Directory database from the current Directory server. Backup Exec automatically removes the previous Directory server name 13 days after you complete the Directory database move.
-
To manually remove the previous server name, right-click Directory on \<OldSQL_computer_name\>.
-
Click Remove.
