On Commvault version: 11.28.
We have several VM’s that are being backed up by Commvault clients. If we had 2 datacenters in an active/active configuration (where VM’s could migrate/be migrated back and forth individually between the 2 datacenters), is there a suggested configuration (or a CommVault upgrade thus giving new functionality) to allow a moved VM to utilize the Commvault media agents at whatever datacenter is local to them? We don't currently use “plans” just old storage policies, and I don’t see a way for configuring a client in a storage policy to always choose a local media agent (in the DC its running in) to process the backup.
I believe if we are backing up a VM using the Commvault VMware backup mechanism then we can just use a “local CommVault proxy” and the VM will be auto assigned to the proper local proxy when backups run, but I’m talking about a VM that we do not use VM backups for, ones that we use clients on (like when we backup up MSSQL/Oracle databases or just “to use a client” as this happens often on very large servers (multi TB drives, apps are sensitive to a VM snapshot for backups, etc)
