Hi ​@Fawzi  

For RHEL 8.x, you do not need to manually install Mono if the system is properly registered and has internet access. In addition, please validate the below steps, 

1. Verify Mono Installation
- After installing the Virtual Server Agent (VSA) on a Linux machine, Commvault requires the Mono framework for the VSA to function.- https://kb.commvault.com/article/?id=87583
- For RHEL 8.x, the system should be registered with Red Hat to allow automatic installation of Mono and its dependencies.

2. Check for Mono Installation Issues
- If the Mono installation failed (often due to missing or misconfigured repositories), the VSA proxy will not be recognized as an access node.
- Review the Mono installation log for errors:

  cat /var/log/commvault/Log_Files/monoInstall.log

- Also, check for errors in:

  /var/log/commvault/cvd.log
 

3. Validate Mono Framework Status
- Check if the MonoFrameworkInstalled flag is set:

  cat /etc/CommVaultRegistry/Galaxy/Instance001/VirtualServer/.properties

  - You should see: `MonoFrameworkInstalled 1`
  - If missing, create it and set the value to `1`.

4. Ensure Correct Repository Configuration
- For Oracle Linux or RHEL, ensure the system repositories are correctly configured and accessible.
- The machine must have internet access or access to the required repositories for Mono installation.

5. Restart Commvault Services
- After resolving any repository or Mono issues, restart Commvault services:

  commvault restart
 

6. Validate VSA Configuration
- Run the validation script:

  /opt/commvault/Base/cvfbr_validate.sh

- Ensure there are no errors related to missing packages.

7. Confirm VSA Proxy Visibility
- After completing the above steps, refresh the Virtualization configuration in the CommCell Console or Command Center.
- The Red Hat 8 VM should now appear as an available access node.
