We recently upgraded to 6.5.4 and love the Granular Recovery for Active Directory . . . this post however is related to the configuration of the 6.5.4 policy for the Enterprsie Vault Agent.
I have 6.5.4 client on my Enterprise Vault server, Master Server, Media Server, and the SQL server that hosts the EV databases. Also I have completed the normal bpdown bpup, etc. When I create a policy, I am to choose Enterprise-Vault as the policy type. This does not exists and according to the instructions, this may be because the license key for the EV database agent does not exist (see instructions below)
I have attempted to get a quote for an Enterprise Vault database agent from our vender and have been told by them via our area Symantec SE that there is not specific database agent for Enterprise Vault but rather can use a regular database agent (not specific to EV). Is this correct?? If so, any ideas on what I am missing related to why the Policy type for Enterprise-Vault does not exist in my dropdown list.
Adding a new policy
This topic describes how to add a new Enterprise Vault backup policy.
Note the following before you add a new Enterprise Vault backup policy:
■ If you use the command-line interface (CLI) to create the new policy, the
identifying number for an Enterprise Vault agent policy type is 39.
■ Multistream backups and restores are not supported at this time.
To add a new policy
1 Log on to the master server as administrator (Windows) or root (UNIX) and
start the NetBackup Administration console.
2 If your site has more than one master server, select the one where you want
to add the policy.
3 In the left pane, right-click Policies. Select New Policy (Windows interface)
.
In the left pane, click Policies. In the All Policies pane, right-click the master
server and click New Policy (Java interface).
4 In the Add a New Policy dialog box, in the Policy name field, type a unique
name for the new policy.
5 Uncheck the Use Backup Policy Configuration Wizard check box.
By default, this option is checked. When this check box is checked, the Backup
Policy Configuration wizard appears and guides you through the backup
policy creation process. To manually create a new policy, uncheck this check
box.
6 Click OK.
7 On the Attribute tab of the Add a New Policy dialog box, select the
Enterprise-Vault policy type from the Policy type drop-down list.
The Enterprise Vault database agent policy type does not appear in the
drop-down list unless the master server has a license key for this database
agent.
8 Complete the entries on the Attributes tab.
9 Continue by adding additional policy information as follows:
