Invalid Vaults When Rehosting From Non Clustered To Clustered Instance

[KC_11253190]

Version: Windchill 12.0

Use Case: Using Windchill 12.0.2.7. and undergoing a rehost procedure from a source to a target instance. The source is not clustered and the target is clustered.

Description:

File vaults will not validate when set to the proper UNC path instead are defaulting to the local vault instance. I am under the impression that vault configuration data may be stored in the database and may have been wiped, potentially looking at how to restore the proper settings. Looking for any documentation on the procedure to follow in this environment configuration. Thank you.

Update: was able to find error logs on slave instance. when validation is attempted on the master, a log is generated on the slave:

wt.fv.FvMountValidator - please check the access permissions (read/write/update) to the path: 

wt.fv.FvMountValidator - 27

wt.fv.FvMountValidator - java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException

Would this be because the windchill service account does not have access to the UNC path to the vault?

Solution: I was able to fix this problem by adding the windchill windows service account to the appropriate active directory permissions group.
