Configuring the Solution
The process for setting up the solution follows this general plan:
1. Install the Solaris 10 8/07 OS (Update 4) or later with latest patches.
2. Install Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager 4.6 with latest patches and its File System Manager.
3. Download the x4500samconfig script from the site listed in the Appendix and unpack it.
4. Run the x4500samconfig script to create the default configuration based on Test Case 3.
5. Configure Storage Archive Manager with additional requirements.
6. Configure Enterprise Vault.
The x4500samconfig script creates a configuration with the following characteristics:
• The maximum size of the SAM file system is half of the available storage in the Sun Fire X4500 Server. This
allows one full copy of the file system to be stored in the SAM disk archive.
• The SAM archiving policy is to continuously scan with an archive age of 8 hours and an interval of 10 minutes.
One copy of every file is made to the SAM disk archive.
• ZFS storage pools are created with hot spare disks.
The script and the configuration have the following limitations:
• The script only runs on a Sun Fire X4500 Server that has not been configured.
• The only supported disk size is 500 GB.
• A SAM file system that is smaller than the default size can affect archiving performance because there are
fewer disks used for the ZFS Volume.
See the Appendix for more about the x4500samconfig script, including how it can be used in test mode and how to
reset a configured server.
