Hi @shanmartin84 ,

The Health Report is a good place to start: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/health_report_overview.html

and also the Security IQ Dash: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/security_iq_dashboard.html

 

Other basic items I’d suggest checking are:

  • 2 Factor Authentication to the CommCell Console / Command Center. 
  • Ensure Ransomware protection is enabled on the Media Agents.
  • Check user privileges/roles in the CommCell are appropriate.
  • Check what Users/Groups have Remote Desktop/Login privileges to CV Infrastructure Machines.
  • AV Exclusions for Commvault Software.
  • Perhaps also ensure email alerts are configured and sent to the correct Admins.

 

There’s loads more that we could cover here, for example ensuring the sizing of the environment is correct for the current/future workloads. - This can be validated against the sizing pages in the Documentation.

 

Best Regards,

Michael
