Resolution

Configure EVSVR to validate all Savesets and shared parts and recall all of the files stored on secondary cloud storage back to the primary storage location.  

1.  Turn off Migration on the partitions configured to migrate to secondary cloud storage. 

a) On the Migration Tab of each partition that is configured to migrate to secondary cloud storage uncheck the Migrate Files box (Figure 1) and click Apply.

b) Select the Advanced tab on the partition properties and change the value of Recalled File Cache Period to 999 days (Figure 2).  This will prevent the deletion process for the temp files for up to the time period selected; the default is seven days.  Click Apply and then Ok.

c) Restart the Enterprise Vault Storage Service for these changes to take effect.

Note: The Advanced tab also contains timeout settings that may need to be increased in case of latency issues.  If these settings are changed, the Storage Service will need to be restarted.
 

2.  Confirm the Primary storage location has enough free space to accommodate the recalled files.

3.  Open <Install_Path>\Enterprise Vault\EVSVR.exe and type Edit at the prompt and then hit Enter.

4.  Choose the vault store and partition to process.
Optionally, a specific Archive can also be selected.  This is useful when some Archives have a higher priority and need to be recalled first.

5.  Under Operation to Perform set the following:

  • Operation field choose Verify
  • Option field choose ArchiveObjects
  • Level field chose SavesetValid (Figure 3)

6.  Increase Threads to 7 and Above normal then click Save As and save the .xml file 

7.  At the EVSVR prompt, type Load then hit Enter and browse to the .xml file if prompted.

8.  Type Start and hit Enter at the prompt to begin the recall. EVSVR will begin recalling the migrated data back to the Primary partition as .archcab files.

9.  Once the recall is complete, rename the .archcab file extensions to .cab.  Open a command prompt and change directory to the root of the partition and run the following command: 

for /r %f IN (*.archcab) DO REN "%f" *.cab

Example:E:\Enterprise Vault\JRNL ptn1>for /r %f IN (*.archcab) DO REN "%f" *.cab

10. Initiate a full backup of the partitions that were recalled.

 

Optionally, EVSVR can be run again once complete to verify the integrity of the stored data and the database by running EVSVR with the Verify, Complete option.

 

 

Once all of the above steps are completed, Enterprise Vault will continue to store and retrieve items from the Primary storage location.  If a new Secondary storage location needs to be configured, please contact support to remove the database entries for the original secondary storage location and to configure the new secondary location.
