A quick introduction on configuring the Sun Storage 7110 Unified Storage System for use as a vault storage target when using Symantec Enterprise Vault 8.0 is presented in a BigAdmin Feature article by Ulrich Conrad. The 35-page PDF walks readers through deployment and the setup of a file system archive. Corresponding screen images are provided throughout the entire process to assist.

The example used in Conrad's work deals with an entry-level Sun Storage 7110 Unified Storage System along with two Sun Fire X4140 servers. One of these servers (isv-4140x) is running Symantec Enterprise Vault version 8.0 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 32-bit, and the other server (isv-4140z) is running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64-bit.

Keep in mind that the entire line of Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems has the same web-based GUI, so the information provided by Conrad in this article can be applied to any of the systems. Additionally, the information about the setup and configuration of the Sun Storage 7110 Unified Storage System also works with Symantec Enterprise Vault 2007.
