“Fatal: Received unexpected end-of-file from server” 

“C:\Program Files\CommVault\Simpana\SoftwareCache\CVMedia\11.0.0\SP16_2046897_R645\Unix\OEMInfo.xml ”

2 tips:

  • retry the installation in case of network hiccup.
  • Clear the software cache, and download it again.

check if this file exists on the CS: “C:\Program Files\CommVault\Simpana\SoftwareCache\CVMedia\11.0.0\SP16_2046897_R645\Unix\OEMInfo.xml”

Hi @Bart ,

 

Thanks for the tips. Already done these but still no success.

Hi @ElmerT !

I found a single case in our database with the same error.

Here’s the solution:

- Disabled remote cache on the Hyperscale Appliance. - Renamed software cache to _old. - Initiated a new download software of just Windows x64 which completed successfully. - Advised customer to now download Linux package and perform a remote cache sync which both completed successfully. - Kernel update was performed and completed and I was advised the case could be closed.

Let me know if that helps!

Tried to rerun the software installation after removing the server  from the client computers. However still getting installation failed. I have attached here the job log.

Thanks, @ElmerT !

Seeing some odd logging here (below).

The issues in our database for this message generally involve repopulating the software cache which you have done.

I did find one more option to look into:

Customer found that client server did not have forward DNS entry configured for communications to commserve.

Other than that, I would suggest creating a support case (and sharing the case number here).

Hi @Mike Struening I opened a case with Fujitsu. Fujitsu ref FS-5161919.

Thanks.

Hi @Mike Struening 

I was able to install the Commvault agent locally. I can see now the client in the Commcell console. Unfortunately Discover Database is not showing so have to work on that.

Thanks for the support.

@ElmerT , keep us posted on the discover issue (and if we can help, just ask)!

HI @Mike Struening . I already fixed that. Thanks!
