Good day

 

I would like to ask if there are any concerns with the proposed solution we’re looking into.

I have a very small environment that is moving from TSM to Commvault. Due to its size, the Commserve and Media Agent will be installed on the same server.

I need to import TSM (IBM Spectrum Protect) backup data into Commvault. I need to create a staging server to handle this task.

I don’t want to install the TSM agent on the Commserve/Media Agent server. Would there be any concerns with installing the MS Hyper-V component on the Commserve/Media Server and hosting 2 x VM’s to run the migration? One VM will be Windows for Windows Data and the other Linux for the Linux Data.

 

Once all the data has been migrated into Commvault, the two VM’s will be decommissioned.

We are a little short on hardware resources, hence this idea.

 

Thanks,

Mauro

    Hi ​@Mauro ,


    If the CommServe disk has sufficient space to host the two virtual machines, you may proceed with the above plan of action until the migration is completed. Additionally, please refer to the document below for more details on the migration activity.
