Yes you do. DAOS requires enabling on a server before you can apply it to a database.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the reply.

Just to get it right, so it is recommended that I set up DAOS on the "Archive" server too.

If you want to DAOS the archive NSF's (which will probably end up being bigger then the original mail file) then yes.

You don't HAVE to DAOS the archives though just because the mail file is DAOS'd.

I've seen the below scenarios and all have worked fine:

Mailfile DAOS + Archives Not DAOS

Mailfile DAOS + Archives DAOS

Mailfile Not DAOS + Archives DAOS

I don't believe there is a "Recommended" way, it'll just depend on your environment and storage.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I'll go ahead and set up a server almost exactly the same as current mail server with DAOS enabled and go from there with setting up Archiving.

Once again, thank you.
