8) Run the upgrade process.

The file that will be downloaded from the URL by the steps above to update the installation is named 'COLTER_EVAULT2-287'.

For EVDC installations without Internet connectivity

1) Download the attached hotfix file.  This file is a compressed (.zip) file that contains a folder and an ISO and MD5 file within the folder as follows:

• Folder:     EV-DC 9.0.2 Hotfix Etrack 2584990 - NTLM v2 Authentication
  • File:     Symantec_Enterprise_Vault_Discovery_Collector_9_0_2_286_Update.iso
  • File:     Symantec_Enterpilse_Vault_Discovery_Collector_9_0_2_286_Update.iso.md5  (Note: this file can be used to verify the validity of the ISO file.) 

2) Burn the ISO file onto a DVD.

3) Use either of the following 2 methods to complete the installation of the hotfix:

Using the DVD upgrade method

See the Discovery Collector Installation and Planning Guide for details of the supported versions.

2. Locate the CDROM icon, and then click CD/DVD ROM Drive 1.
3. Choose the option to Connect to ISO on local disk.
4. Log on to the Enterprise Vault Discovery Collector Appliance Console as root.
