Connecting NETAPP to Enterprise Vault environment

[margiev]

I am working on a project to move EV placeholders from Windows fileservers to a NETAPP device.  I have read the documentation on using the FSAUTILITY.  My concern is getting the Netapp into the EV environment.  I could not find much documentation on either Symantec's site or Netapps's site about this.  Any specific details would be appreciated.

Did you look at Chapter 5 in the Setting up File System Archiving Guide that comes on the EV media?

Hi margiev,

We have technotes and documentation with steps-by-steps instructions to add a NetApp filer as a FSA target. Take a look at this TN:

Adding a NetApp filer as an archiving target
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO58080

You need to setup the permissions in the NetApp before adding the filer to the VAC:

Setting the permissions for FSA on a NetApp filer

Since you can't install the placeholder service in a NetApp filer, this service runs in the Enterprise Vault server. Look at the technotes above for more details.

I hope this helps.
