Installing on a single server

This section describes how to install the Enterprise Vault server software when you have only one server that runs Enterprise Vault services.

Preparation

To prepare to upgrade the Enterprise Vault server software on a single server

Log on to the Enterprise Vault server as the Vault Service account.
Stop the Enterprise Vault Admin service. This stops the Admin service itself, and any other Enterprise Vault services.
Stop any other local or remote services or applications that can lock Enterprise Vault files. For example:
- Enterprise Vault Administration Console
- Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service
Close any other applications that may be running on the server, including the Control Panel, Computer Management, Windows Services, and the Windows Event Viewer.
If you are installing on an Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway, make sure that the Domino server on the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway is shut down and that EVInstall.nsf is not being accessed locally.

Installing Enterprise Vault (wizard)

To use the wizard to install Enterprise Vault

Load the Enterprise Vault media.
If Windows AutoPlay is enabled on the server, Windows shows an AutoPlay dialog box. Click Run Setup.exe.
If AutoPlay is not enabled, use Windows Explorer to open the root folder of the installation media and then double-click the file Setup.exe.
In the list in the left pane of the Veritas Enterprise Vault Install Launcher window, click Enterprise Vault.
Click Server Installation.
In the right pane, click Upgrade existing server.
Click Install. The Enterprise Vault installation wizard starts.
Work through the installation wizard to upgrade the Enterprise Vault components.
If the installation wizard prompts you to restart the server, restart and then log on again as the Vault Service account so that the installer can complete the upgrade.

Installing Enterprise Vault (command line)

The following procedure describes how to upgrade the Enterprise Vault installation. If you want to add or remove components, see the "Installing Enterprise Vault" chapter in the Installing and Configuring guide for a complete description of the command-line options.

Caution:

If a system restart is needed during silent installation, the server restarts automatically. If the server restarts, log on again as the Vault Service account so that the installer can complete the upgrade.

To install Enterprise Vault from the command line

Log on to the Enterprise Vault server as the Vault Service account.
Load the Enterprise Vault media.
If Windows AutoPlay is enabled on the server, Windows shows an AutoPlay dialog box. Close the AutoPlay dialog box.
Open a command prompt window and navigate to the following folder on the Enterprise Vault media:
\Veritas Enterprise Vault\Server\x64
Run setup (x64).exe as follows:
start /wait "" "setup (x64).exe" /s /clone_wait /v"COMPONENTS=Option[|Option][...]"
If the server restarts, log on again as the Vault Service account so that the installer can complete the upgrade.
