How to put CA into read-only mode

Hello, Fremont;

As I understand your requirements, you want to stop CA at the main site and run it from the DR site.  If this is correct, you'll have a CA server in the DR site that you'll need your users to access. That means you'll need to stop the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager Service (EVAMS) at the main site and have the DR site's CA server running.  To prevent users from running new searches in the DR site, you should stop the 'Customer's Background Tasks' from the EVBAAdmin site on the DR CA server.  This will allow them to access the DR site, but not run any searches, reviews or exports.  Random sampling should not run either as that processing should be kicked off by a background task, but I've not personally tested that.

Kind Regards,

Ken
