DFS

[Samuel_Lee]

Does EV support DFS? Is it pretty seamless?

Thanks,
Sam

We implemented EV on a clustered 2003 SAN running DFS, and so far it has not gone smoothly. Seems the archive does not like to be dealing with data that the root DFS share is on, so make sure you do a lot of testing before you put this into production.

Would you be able to share some of the problems you had?

Sorry it took a bit. We just got confirmation from Veritas that DFS is not supported until SP3. Which explains all our problems.

Some issues have been placeholders losing thier link to the Vault within the DB, placeholder service hanging the DFS so users cannot access any shares for 5-7 minutes, backups failing and serveral other smaller issues.

Hope this helps you.
