Getting Started

We are currently accessing our Java GUI CommCell Console and SQL Server Management Studio, installed directly on the CommServe Server. According to the link found below, CommVault recommends installing these Management Utilities on a Proxy server, as the extract hereafter specifies:“Do not log on to the CommServe or MediaAgent computer directly. Instead, do the following:Use a virtual machine proxy computer that has the JAVA GUI and SQL Management Studio installed.Log on to the CommCell Console, and then access the MediaAgent computer.”https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=7885_1.htm Is this indeed the recommended practice, or are we okay leaving and accessing the CommCell Console directly on the CommServe Server (we are not accessing the Media Agents directly for management purposes)?Thank you. J

Hello,We recently moved Commvault/Commcell to a new server (same domain) because the old one did not have enough place on it for the disks backups.We had it installed on a server named SPGEOFS01We moved it (the technician) on new server called SVGEOCVCSNow, the name on the new client still is SPGEOFS01 I want to add the old Commvault server that still exists and was wiped to host data (SPGEOFS01) But I get conflicts since the name has not changed to SVGEOCVCS everywhere and it tells me that the client already exists.Did our technician do something wrong during the switch ? How can I fix this ? He says it can be days before he finds a solution. Thank you for your help,Felix

Hi everyone, I’m new to Commvault Backup. So pls can anyone tell me how can I download the Commvault Backup Software? Please guide me in step by step process to install.

Installation of Hyper-V cluster in commvault. Agent Virtual server installed on the commserver and on the 2 hosts of the hyper-v system.The client in commvault has been created with the name of the cluster and with the 2 hosts as nodes of the virutal server Hyper-VNow the problem is that I see only the first host in the browse of the subclient. And all the VMs of this host. Can you assist me? If I select only the second host as node, I can see all VMs from this host, so I presume that’s not a permissions issue.  

Is there a way to configure the DAG client to authenticate to a specific AD server.We have an environment where there is are 2 domains for Exchange literally with the same name.One is production and another is non-production.  I need to configure the DAG but I am getting discovery failed everytime I run a discovery.
