Upgrade a Vault File Server to a Connected Workgroup Subscriber

Upgrade a Vault Site Server that is currently a member of an established Workgroup to a Connected Workgroup Subscriber.

Example Scenario

Current State: Workgroup A consists of a Publisher and two sites.

End State: Two Workgroups, Workgroup A is the Publisher, workgroup-b is a Subscriber

Upgrade a Vault File Server to a Connected Workgroup Subscriber

Follow these instructions to make one of your Vault Server sites a connected workgroup subscriber to a Vault Site/Publisher.

1. On the site that is to be upgraded to be an SQL Subscriber, copy or backup the file store.

2. On a different site in Workgroup A, delete the file store in the ADMS Console.

3. On the site being upgraded, install SQL Server.

   Note: SQL can be installed on the same machine as Vault File Server or on a separate machine.

4. On the Publisher, add a Workgroup pointing to the newly installed SQL Server (workgroup-b).

5. After Replication has completed, Install the Vault Server application and connect it to the Subscriber SQL Server.

6. Start the ADMS Console on the SQL Subscriber.

7. Enable the Vault that is to be replicated and connect it to the existing File Store from step 1.
