    I've reattached your screenshot, and highlighted the bit that is incorrect.

    Hello,

    I will be doing a mass recall too next week. I've been reading up, and notcied you will need to set a keay on the fileserver and on the EV server to allow the administrator to mass-recall. I believe there is some sort of limit on the amount of recalls that can be done. See the Utilities.pdf file

    To see what EV is doing, you need to use Dtrace on the FSA server. I do not know which to trace, but if yo start Dtrace, then type V, it shows you what can be traced.

    Sorry I cannot be more helpfull.

    I believe this is the key Gertjan is referring to.  You can find more info in the Registry_Values.pdf doc.

    BypassRecallLimitsForAdmins

    On a 64-bit installation of Windowss:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Wow6432Node \KVS\Enterprise Vault\FSA\PlaceholderService


    Content DWORD.
    0     — (Default) Recall limits apply to administrators.

    1 — There are no recall limits for administrators.

    For Windows file servers, you can specify a maximum rate of recall on each computer that runs a Placeholder service. This lets you control the rate at which an individual user can recall files. By doing this, you also prevent any applications that do not honor the file system offline attribute from recalling all files that had been archived from a volume.

    By default, the recall limits apply to all users, including the members of the local Administrators group. To lift the recall limits on these administrators, set BypassRecallLimitsForAdmins to 1.

    You have a typo in your BypassRecallLimitsForAdmins registry key. From the looks of the screenshot you have RecalLimits, ie a missing L.

    no they are 3xL RecallLimits

    thats not the error

    just tried to recall a folder with only 2 files, same issue, so the limit shouldn't be a problem.

    If i copy the file it make a recall without any problem hmmmm

    Please post a new screenshot then?  The one you posted 110% has ByPassRecall... misspelt.

     

    Your limits at present are 20 recalls in 10 minutes, as far as I can tell.

    hmm i see bypassrecallL in my first screenshot, but i will post a new screenshot. by the way just installed a new fileserver and setup the fileserver within evault. Backup some folders from the fileserver with the issue and restore the files on the new fileserver than run a bulkrestore on the new fileserver and still the same issue on the new fileserver hmmm

    ps here the new pic
