Hello Community,
I’m currently migrating a old Commserve to a new hardware, which has different host name and IP settings, also with CommServe upgrading (11.28 → 11.34). So I have folllowed this page for the hardware refreshing:
https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/expert/commserve_upgrade_with_hardware_refresh_overview.html
I used Recovery Assistant Tool when setting up the CommServe database on new hardware. Now it works fine.
The problem is when copying backup files (CV_MAGNETIC) from old machine to new one, the size of file has expanded a lot (5TB → 10TB) on disk. I assume this is bacuase of using DDB.
I have also copied the DDB content (CV_SIDB folder and icl_label.txt file) to the new machine, but with different drive letter(D:\SIDB → E:\SIDB).
My questions are:
- What is the best way to set up the DDB in new machine?
- Can I reclaim the disk space after the DDB is running fine?
Thanks!
