Hello everyone,
I’m currently storing backups on a HyperScale 1.5 cluster that was purchased back in 2018. I’ve just taken delivery of three HPE servers to act as a HyperScale X cluster to replace my aging HyperScale 1.5 media agent.
Does anyone know of a detailed list of steps / project plan / checklist that can be used for such an undertaking?
I see the high level steps as:
- Rack the servers
- Install the HyperScale OS
- Connect the new cluster to Commvault
- Update backups to use the new storage
- Migrate backups from the old HS 1.5 to the new HS X storage
- Disconnect the empty HS 1.5 media agent from Commvault
- Power off the HS 1.5 servers, remove them from the rack, and dispose of them.
The reason I’m looking for detailed steps is that I’m sure there are items I’m not aware of that need consideration. Some examples of this are 1) enabling encryption of backups and 2) enabling ransomware protection. There’s probably other things I need to consider that I’m not aware of and I don’t want to get to the end of the process only to realize I missed a configuration from an earlier step.
I see this documentation: Setting Up the Installation Media for HyperScale X
I’m grateful for any suggestions,
Ken
