Something is not correct in the documentation ! Starting a Node After a Reboot have exactly all the same steps as the Starting a Node Manually ??https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/132929_stopping_and_starting_hyperscale_x_reference_architecture_node.html Thank you
Hi,Need to reboot a node, what I need to do before rebooting the server, witch command I have to execute before ?Thanks.
Hi guys, I'm having a customer who is actually using Standard MA with Commvault to back up to copy 1 to disk (PureFlash with NVMe Drives), copy 2 (and other PureFlash) and a copy 3 to Tape around 350 TB per week to send to tapes (LTO7) 4 tape drives (weekly Full) at a sustain throughput of 700 GB/Hour per drive (4 drive in parallel). We are looking to replace both MA with two HyperScaleX clusters. The questions are ! How we need to configure the HyperScaleX (reference architecture) to sustain the weekly tape creation of 350 TB per week with the same throughput knowing that we are going to use NearLine SAS in the HyperscaleX Cluster ! Or ca we use SSD for the Storage Pool drive in a HyperScaleX.
Hi, I’m trying to add 3 nodes to an existing Hyperscale X cluster ?It’s a brand new installation, the cluster is up and running in with the first 3 nodes.Now I’m trying to add 3 more nodes, do I need to create a block with “cvavahi.py...” on those 3 new nodes as well and after that I will have the options in the Command Center to add them all under the one already there or ?Thank you, it’s the first time I’m adding nodes to and existing HyperScale X cluster and I don't find any documentation on this !
Hi All,Two years before we implemented the Commvault HyperScale 1.5 Refernce Architecture on top of HPE 4200 Hardware. Our CS running on VM with 11.19 and MA configured in HyperScale 6 Node with RHEL 7.7 I am planing to upgrade the OS and CV version. When I browse the documentation page, I came across one more product terminaloy HyperScale X.I couldn’t figureout following factors, and looking a advice who is working in similar setup.What is techinical difference between Hyperscale refernce architecture X and 1.5? Any use cases where I need a situation to move from 1.5 to X? Can I upgrade HyperScale 1.5 to X in the same Hardware without distrub data? Can you upgrade the OS and CV version in the same 1.5 without jumping into X ?Your assistance would be appriciated. Thanks,Mani
Hi,I’m trying to setup my first HS-X node on an HPE Apollo 4200 server. The server has 2 SSDs for OS, I created a hardware RAID 1 with them. 2 SSDs for metadata and 24 Disks for data. I downloaded HS-X media ISO 2.2 from 2021-08 (seems to be the latest one)First, I’m not able to use “Multi Node” Option in first install screen, I guess that is because networking is not configured yet.I then go through the config, select all the disks depending on their purpose and start the installation. After reaching 100% it shows that installation failed and “cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device”. I see that esp, boot and lvm partition were created on /dev/sdc (RAID 1), I also see that lvm logical disks were created on sdc and OS was installed.If I reboot the installer ISO it tells me that an existing HS-X installation is detected. But when I try to boot from the OS RAID 1 device, it does not boot. So I guess that the grub bootmanger was not installed correctly and t
We have the requirement in our company that all Mgmt interfaces/IP’s must be protected by a firewall. For HSX this includes the IP where sshd, http Admin GUI is running. But this seems not to be possible in our setup.We can not protect the DP network with firewall as there will also be backup traffic. So we decided to used 2 different VLAN’s on one of the two LACP channels.Overall we have 3 VLANs/networks configured on 2 LACP channels. 2 VLANs are configured on a trunk.Storage-Pool: not routed - no problem - on LACP 1 with 2 x 25G Data-Protection: should be used for communication with other Commvault servers and clients to back up - on LACP 2 with 2 x 25G Mgmt: used for sshd / http - on LACP 2 with 2 x 25G But according to documentation for Reference Architecture only one network can be routable. In our case both Mgmt and DP must be routable. I added some Linux policy routing rules and they worked perfectly fine until the GUI installer was started (via browser after basic network confi
Hello, i have a project that a client will deploy HSX RA on Hpe proLient DL360 in the environment. i have never implemented HSX Before.and i have checked the documentation for the RA installation and network configuration. https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/154258_setting_up_installation_media_for_hyperscale_x_reference_architecture.htmlmy question is is there’s a guild explains step by step the installation starting from configuring the servers, and the HSX imaging ?my blind step is how the image will be installed?dhcp is not enabled.documentation says that u’ll use a windows machine that can connect to the nodes and download the iso from the store then mount the image and start the installation.1 - do i need to mount the iso on each node from the ILO ?2- how the nodes can communicate during the installation as when you start configuring the first node it searchs for the other nodes.
Hi, I just start a new config on three nodes for HyperScale X.I was in the cluster creation of the Commander Center and during the creation it fails because one of the nodes (3) was not ready !I’ve tried to delete the HyperScale X Cluster from the command center, it disappeared OK.But now when I try to create a new cluster I’m only seeing the node 3 (the one that was not ready in the first creation !)Is there any command line that I can run to cleanup the fail install on node 1 and 2 ! or it’s going to be faster to re image the two nodes !
Hi! We recently deployed 2 HyperScale X Reference Architecture clusters at a customer, and found out that: Ransomware Protection is not enabled by default Linux Firewall is not enabled by default In my opinion, in current times, it is strange that by default the solution is so insecure.Why are the firewall and ransomware protection not enabled by default? And will that be addressed in a future release?
Hi There.I am searching for technical resources on how we setup an air-gapped environment.The idea is to have an isolated HSX cluster that we air-gap from the production HSX cluster and used only for Aux Copies long retention.I checked the online documentation and the internet on how CV achieve this with no luck. I want to use a VM as a network gateway proxy with blackout window and network topology. I just didn't find how we can automatically shutdown and power up the VM to isolate the air-gapped environment.Searched for workflow but couldn’t find anything relevant.Anyone did this before and if so how was it done ?ThanksAbdel
