| 3.1.3 Software Requirements
The following software must be installed before you can install Portal:
· Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 or later, including all role services that are installed by default, plus the following available role services and features:
o Under Common HTTP Features:
§ Static Content
§ HTTP Errors
§ HTTP Redirection
o Under Application Development:
§ .NET Extensibility 3.5
§ .NET Extensibility 4.5
§ ASP.NET 3.5
§ ASP.NET 4.5
§ ISAPI Extensions
§ ISAPI Filters
Note: Make certain that ASP.NET and .NET Extensibility are turned on in Windows features, particularly if IIS is installed before ASP.NET.
o Under Security:
§ Windows Authentication
o Under .NET Framework Features:
§ HTTP Activation
On Windows 2012, HTTP Activation must be installed under both .NET Framework 3.5 Features and .NET Framework 4.5 Features.
On Windows 2008, HTTP Activation must be installed under .NET 3.5.1 Features.
· .NET Framework 4.5
· .NET Framework 3.5
· SQL Server or SQL Server Express 2012 or 2008 R2 (64-bit), installed with mixed mode authentication and running.
Note: Anti-virus software can have a negative impact on the performance of some Portal system components. The effect of anti-virus software on the SQL server should be minimal.
3.2 Conditional Requirements
If you install Portal as a distributed system (recommended), the software required on each system depends on the Portal components installed. For more information, see the Portal Installation and Configuration Guide.
3.3 Licensing
You do not require a license to use Portal. You do require licenses from the vault for Agents and features such as plug-ins.
3.4 Install/Upgrade
You can use the Portal 7.80 installation kit to install Portal components and the legacy Web CentralControl UI (optional).
The Portal installation kit file name is: EVaultPortal-7-80-0207.exe
You can also use the installation kit to upgrade Portal or Web CentralControl to version 7.80.
Beginning in version 7.61, Portal and the legacy Web CentralControl UI are hosted under the same website, using different directories. After an installation or upgrade to version 7.61 or later, the Portal URL will be something like https://frontend/ (or http://frontend if not using https), and the Web CentralControl URL will be something like https://frontend/login/login.aspx (or http://frontend/Login/login.aspx if not using https). For information about how to redirect existing bookmarks, and for installation and upgrade instructions, see the Portal Installation and Configuration Guide.
Note: To upgrade from Web CentralControl 7.50 on a 32-bit operating system, you must first upgrade Web CentralControl components on the 32-bit platform and back up the Web CentralControl databases. You can then install Web CentralControl on a 64-bit platform, and restore the databases to the 64-bit system. For more information, see the Web CentralControl Migration Guide.
4 LIMITATIONS, FIXES, AND KNOWN ISSUES 4.1 Limitations 4.1.1 Limitations in Portal
The following features are not supported in Portal, but are available in the legacy Web CentralControl UI:
· NetWare agents
· Open File Manager (OFM) in Agent configuration
· Restore from a safeset range
· Catalog searching (only catalog browsing is supported)
Note: Compatibility View in Internet Explorer is not supported.
4.1.2 Limitations in Web CentralControl
Agent version 7.5 releases are not supported in the legacy Web CentralControl interface.
4.2 Fixes 4.2.1 Fixes in Version 7.8
A child site now correctly inherits its parent site logo as specified in Visual Customizations. (29356)
In report emails in a Portal instance, you can now replace “portal.evault.com” with any text value. For more information, see the Portal Installation and Configuration Guide. (29258)
In the Vault Settings dialog box, a vault FQDN that begins with a number is no longer rejected as an invalid IP address. (29254)
An Execute-only user can now run a Restore From Another Computer. (29774)
4.2.2 Fixes in Version 7.7
The Notification service no longer leaves many unnecessary key files in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys directory. (29221)
A Portal upgrade is no longer blocked if the Hyper-V DR Deleted Job Repair Tool needs to be run on the system. A warning message appears, but the upgrade can continue. (29153)
Reports now run as scheduled in all time zones. (29029, 29004)
The Monitor page now shows all backup jobs that are running, even if the page has not been refreshed. (29077)

4.2.3 Fixes in Version 7.62
In some cases when computers had BMR jobs, the following error appeared when you tried to view jobs on the Computers or Monitor page: “Unexpected JobType enumeration value: SYSTEM_JOB error”. BMR jobs that caused this problem are now filtered out, and the error no longer appears. The jobs will be displayed in Portal after Agents provide required job information. (28431, 28211, 28184)
When using Portal in Firefox, an error no longer occurs when you test or save email notification settings. (28583)
References to EVault have been removed from the Quick Links section on the Dashboard. (28503)
When creating a folder inclusion filter in a policy, the Folders field is no longer limited to 50 characters. (28382)
When all Portal components are installed on one server, the installer no longer allows a second instance of the Portal UI to be installed on a different server. In this unsupported configuration, the second Portal UI could not communicate with Agents. (28350)
The installer now checks for ASP.NET 3.5 on a system before installing Portal components. When ASP.NET 3.5 was not installed on a system, super users could not log in to Portal. (28310)

The Portal installer no longer allows unsupported characters to be entered in the Portal hostname. (26106)
4.2.4 Fix in Version 7.50a
Portal now sets the correct Quick File Scanning (QFS) parameter for the vSphere Agent. (27619)
4.2.5 Fixes in Version 7.50
Portal caching does not result in incorrect retention IDs that affect how safesets are retained on the vault. Portal caching has been re-enabled. (26957)
Note: If you used Portal 7.40, and notice changes in how safesets are retained on your vault, contact EVault Support for assistance.
On Linux, restoring an Oracle database to an alternate location no longer fails with a message stating that the path is not valid. (26217)
When you run a restore from another computer from a SQL job to a non-SQL machine, you can now restore to a flat file. (25817)
A "Refresh" button has been added on the Support User Dashboard. When you refresh data on the Dashboard, new companies are shown on the Dashboard page. (26477)
4.3 Known Issues
When Portal is installed on Windows 2012 R2, some Agents cannot register because of issues related to SSL cipher suite reordering. Affected Agents are:
· Windows Agent versions 7.20 - 7.33
· Hyper-V Agent version 7.30
· vSphere Agent versions 7.32 and earlier
· Linux Agent versions 7.20 and earlier
We strongly recommend upgrading to the most recent Agent versions to avoid this issue. If you cannot upgrade an Agent, a less desirable server-side workaround will allow affected Agents to register to Portal. For details on the workaround, please contact Support. (28059)
You cannot restore an Exchange database to flat files on a server where Microsoft Exchange is not installed. An error states that the job type is not supported by the current agent.
WORKAROUND: Use Windows CentralControl to perform this task. (29491)
When using the legacy Web CentralControl UI in Internet Explorer 11, problems can occur when you try to create a job or restore from another computer.
WORKAROUND: Use Portal instead of the legacy Web CentralControl UI. Alternatively, use Firefox or Chrome to access the Web CentralControl UI. (29379)
If you try to restore a vSphere VM from an alternate location, an error states that the safeset is offline and the restore cannot be completed.
WORKAROUND: Manually synchronize a vSphere Agent job before trying to restore a VM from an alternate location. (27833)
The tooltip that shows a VM's task name on the vault only appears if an updated Flash plug-in is installed in the browser. This Plug-in is installed automatically with the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox, but must be installed explicitly in other browsers. (26513)
Portal sometimes becomes unresponsive when you try to browse for virtual machines in large vSphere environments. For more information, please contact Support. (23550)
