Hi,
I am trying to to explorer automating our Commcell environment. Unfortunately I encountered and error connecting to commcell. I would like to inquiry the error when connecting to commserve using cvpysdk python library. Below is the error.
Error when connecting to commserv using hostname. but i can ping the hostname from the server.
If something is blocking, is there a required port to open to be able to connect successfully?
We need to review the configuration and logs. You can raise a support case to check this.

Hi Navneet,
Thanks for your time. What i did is the same from what you have provided below and that error I encountered is not able to connect to Commcell when running the python lines the same with you provided.
Hoping you if you could check further my concern.
>>Use the Python SDK to run Commvault operations in your CommCell environment. The Python SDK requires an installation of the Web Console.
Step 1: Install the Python SDK
Step 2: Install the Python Software
Windows and UNIX
If you installed the Python SDK on a Windows computer or a UNIX computer, no action is required. Python 3.6 is automatically installed along with the Python SDK.
On a Windows computer, the installation location is C:\Program Files\Python36. On a UNIX computer, the software is packaged inside the Commvault installation directory: %INSTALL_PATH%/python/bin/python3 (for example: /opt/commvault/python/bin/python3).
Step:3 Establish a Connection
>>Applies to: Windows and UNIX clients
Import the Commcell class and log on to the CommCell environment. The following is the Python commandlet for establishing a connection:
>>> from cvpysdk.commcell import Commcell
>>> commcell = Commcell(webconsole_hostname, commcell_username, commcell_password)
where:
webconsole_hostname is the host name and port number for the Web Console.
commcell_username is the user name used to log on to the CommCell environment.
commcell_password is the user password in plain text. If you do not provide the password in the command, you are prompted to enter the password at run time.
Step 4: Where to Go From Here
Run Commvault operations through the Python SDK or incorporate the Commvault Python commands into scripts or other code.
