To configure sharing for a vault store group:
1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site hierarchy until Vault Store Groups is visible.
2. Expand the Vault Store Groups container to show the existing vault store groups.
3. Right-click the vault store group for which you want to configure sharing, and on the shortcut menu click Properties.
4. Click the Sharing tab. The Sharing tab lists the vault stores in the vault store group, and their current sharing levels.
5. Click Configure Sharing. The Configure Sharing wizard starts.
6. In the special case of the Default Upgrade Group, Enterprise Vault helps you to configure a fingerprint database for the group, if one does not exist already.
7. The Configure Sharing wizard takes you through the steps to configure sharing levels for the vault stores in the vault store group. You can set the vault store sharing levels individually, or apply a sharing level to all the current vault stores.
Managing vault store groups and sharing:
If one or more vault store sharing levels is changed to Share within vault store or Share within group, the wizard prompts to run a connectivity test before the wizard makes any changes. The connectivity test helps to determine whether the network connectivity is sufficient to support the sharing configuration that is selected. The wizard makes no changes until Finish is clicked on the final page of the wizard.
If the connectivity test shows poor results check one of the following:
1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site hierarchy until Vault Store Groups is visible.

Issue/Introduction
You can change the sharing level of any vault store within a vault store group. You can also configure all vault stores to use a specific sharing level, including any new vault stores that you add to the group.
The sharing level of a vault store must be one of the following:
The sharing level of a vault store must be one of the following:
- No sharing. The vault store does not participate in Enterprise Vault single instance storage.
- Share within Vault Store. The vault store shares SIS parts only within itself.
- Share within Group. The vault store shares SIS parts with other vault stores in the group that also have the Share within group sharing level.
To change the sharing levels the Configure Sharing wizard must be ran on the vault store group. The vault store group must contain at least one vault store.
Note:
The Configure Sharing wizard can be re-ran at any time, but changes made to the vault store sharing levels do not act retrospectively. This means that if sharing was not turned on previously, and is turned on, sharing will only occur with newly archived items. This also means that if sharing was turned on and is turned off, there will still be sharing between vault stores for items previously archived when sharing was turned on, but newly archived items will not be shared between the vault stores.
