To discover
and assign new journal mailboxes:
- From the CommCell Browser, right-click the agent containing the subclients
that you want to assign journal mailboxes, click All Tasks and then click
Configure. Alternatively, you can use the
Subclient Properties
(Content) tab to access its Configure button.
- From the Add/Modify
Journaling Mailboxes dialog box click the Discover button.
- The system displays a confirmation message, informing you that the discovery
process can take an unspecified amount of time. Larger Exchange Servers may
require several minutes for this operation to complete. Click No if you
need to cancel the discovery process, or click Yes to continue. If you
continue the discovery process, a progress bar shows the completion status of
the operation.
- When the discovery process completes, the
Add/Modify Journaling
Mailboxes dialog box is redisplayed. The window displays the journal mailboxes
that have already been assigned; plus any newly discovered journal mailboxes
that have not been assigned. The unassigned journal mailboxes are those that
have no entry in the Subclient column.
- To assign these journal mailboxes, click the Subclient field of each journal
mailbox that you want to assign and select the desired subclient from the list.
Regardless of the assignment method, your choices include:
- Any user-defined subclients
- The Do Not Archive subclient
If you choose the Do Not Archive subclient, the journal mailbox will not
be archived.
- To register your journal mailbox assignments with the system, click Apply.

Administrative Management capability cannot be used to perform the deconfigure operation from the MediaAgent level.
|
Before you Begin:
-
For MediaAgent Deconfiguration, ensure that all the storage policies or copies
associated with the configured libraries (or drive pools) in the MediaAgent are
deleted or re-associated to another MediaAgent.
To deconfigure a
client, MediaAgent, agent, or enabler:
- In the CommCell Browser, right-click the name of the client, MediaAgent,
agent, or enabler you want to deconfigure, click All Tasks (if
displayed), and select Deconfigure.
- A popup warning message appears.
Click OK to continue.
- Another popup message then appears.
Click Yes to continue with the deconfiguration or No to abort.
- If the deconfigure is unsuccessful, a number of popup messages
appears. In some cases, the message requests that you take some
corrective action. For example, the message might advise you to ensure that there are no jobs running on the
agent. In such a case, click OK and take the appropriate action.
Then repeat the deconfigure process.
If the deconfigure is successful, the tree element is dimmed and available for deletion.
Before You Begin
You can perform agent operations as long as the agent is installed and
appears enabled in the CommCell Browser. However, if you have no need to
run jobs on the agent data of a client computer, you may want
to delete the agent that resides on that computer. Once you have uninstalled or DeConfigured
the agent, the corresponding icon in the CommCell Browser is grayed out. While
this icon exists, you can recover data from the agent to another client. If you
delete this icon, all of the agent's data is irretrievably lost.
NOTES
Deleting the agent is a two-phase process.
- You need to uninstall or DeConfigure the agent software
from the client computer. Doing so frees an agent license, thereby allowing
you to install it on some other computer whose data you do want to secure.
- After you delete the client software, you can either leave the corresponding
data
intact for appropriate action, or you can remove the data immediately. If you choose
to remove the data immediately, you must delete the agent from the CommCell
Browser.
Required Capability: See
Capabilities and Permitted Actions
To delete
an agent:
- From the CommCell Browser, right-click the icon of the agent that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
(The agent software must first have been uninstalled/DeConfigured or the delete option on the shortcut menu
will not appear.)
- A warning message prompts you with the following:
This operation will permanently delete the data backed up from this level
and it cannot be restored. Click Ok to continue with the
deletion operation. (Clicking No will abort the operation.)
- From the Confirmation Text dialog box, enter the confirmation
text string, erase and reuse media. Click
Ok. The agent icon and the data that corresponds to the selected agent
will be deleted. Consequently, you will not be able to browse or recover
this data.
Before You Begin
- Review CSVDE Filtering for Discovery Operations:
- CAUTION: Use of this option requires expert-level knowledge of CSVDE, which is a Microsoft tool used for extracting and filtering information from Active Directory. Incorrect use of the CSVDE filtering option can result in failed discovery and data protection operations for these agents. For more information on CSVDE, refer to documentation from Microsoft Corporation.
Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions
To enable CSVDE filtering for discovery operations:
- From the CommCell Browser, right-click the icon for the appropriate agent and then click Properties.
- From the General tab of the agent Properties dialog box, select the Use CSVDE For Discovery option, then specify the desired CSVDE filter in the corresponding entry space.
- Click OK.
The next time a discovery operation is run for this agent the user-specified CSVDE filter will be used.
