Hi @amina,

Thanks for the question!

Could you provide a bit more detail? Are you looking to use Commvault move VMs from a VCF3 to a VCF4 environment, or are you upgrading in-place from 3 to 4?

Interesting question and the only think I can think of is that you are asking for the ability to perform a cross VCF VM migration to be executed via Commvault?

@Onno van den Berg  @Damian Andre  Morning, yes

the migration consists of building a new VCF environment with new servers and this environment will be used to receive the VMs currently in the VCF3 environment.
what are the prerequisites for not losing the client groups and the storage policies ?

we have 3 site 

1st site witch 6 Media agent + 1vm commserve + 1 vm VSA

2nd site wirh 9 Media agent + 1vm commserve + 1 vm VSA

3 one with 3 media agent + 1vm commserve + 1 vm VSA

3 CommServe LiveSync SQL

CommVault Version

11.20.32

I'm having some difficulties understanding what you mean because you can add the new VCF environment to your current Commvault installation and depending on your architecture you can use all of the existing resources without having to introduce new client groups and storage policies.

I am having the same confusion as Onno.

As I am reading the context, all VM’s including Commvault VM’s are migrated and only the new VCF needs to be configured in Commvault… The rest stays the same.

I see no need to rebuild a new Commvault environment when networking / routing is configured correctly.

Unless your new VCF isn’t allowed to connect with an old infrastructure? In other words a Green Field scenario is the goal.

Please elaborate what you want to achieve in the end result.
