NOTICE: Content Router was discontinued in 2015. For continued support, migration to EV11 and Swarm Feeds is required.

EV10

Requirements:

  • Symantec Enterprise Vault 10.x

  • CAStor 6.5.x or Swarm 7.x

  • Caringo Content Router 7.x (required for EVSVR, mandatory for support)

Beginning with Symantec Enterprise Vault (EV) 10, Swarm/CAStor clusters are available as archiving targets using the CAStor streamer DLL. This streamer is provided with the EV installation. The integration presents itself as "Storage type" target for an EV partition. The two applicable targets are "Caringo CAStor" and "Dell DX Object Storage Platform". For EV10, both Dell and DataCore / Caringo targets function identically.

...

To configure the connection settings, the "Primary cluster" field must be populated with at least one of the cluster node IP addresses (or proxy address). This may also be a comma separated list of IPs as well. The "DR cluster" field may be left blank, but the "Publisher" field must be populated with the IP address of a running Content Router Publisher.

EV11

Requirements:

  • Veritas Enterprise Vault 11.x

  • CAStor 6.5.x or Swarm 7.x

  • FULLY LICENSED CARINGO INDEXER running Elasticsearch 0.90.10 (required for EVSRV, mandatory for support)

With EV11, the Caringo CAStor target was renamed to Caringo Swarm to reflect our new branding. It also uses the Feeds functionality instead of the discontinued Content Router. Thus in order to use EV11 with a Swarm cluster, a Caringo Indexer node must be installed and must have an indexing feed configured from the Swarm cluster to the Indexer.

NOTE: Veritas shipped EV11 with the old version of CastorStreamer.dll. The latest version is 1.3.2 - using the older version of the DLL will cause the Caringo Swarm target to fail.


Contact DataCore Support if you need the new version of the CastorStreamer.dll. To upgrade the dll, copy the new version over the old one in the EV installation directory. It will be picked up automatically without an EV restart.
