[root@lft1joebloggs01 Base]# commvault restart
Failed enabling commvault.Instance001.service to Systemd.
Stopping Commvault services for Instance001 ...
[root@joebloggs01 Base]#

 

I get the above when trying to start or restart the Simpana services on a Linux server. This is causing an issue with both the backup and software updates as the communication has been lost between Commserve and client.

Hey @TonyQ , thanks for the post!

I looked up the error in our database (and saw your case, which I noted) and there are only a few I can see.

Sharing the details on how one was fixed (note that it’s a direct copy and paste):

>> Tried changing ownership to root for cvpkgrm in base directory but still the command did not work 

>>  Noticed in .gxsetup log for cvpkgrm : 'cannot access /opt/.gxsetup: No such file or directory '

>>  Tried manually renaming commvault directories in /opt and /etc/ but gave "Read-only file system" errorz.

 

>> Renamed commvault log directories:

/var/log/.gxsetup

/var/log/commvault

 

Next actions:

 

Please work with your OS team and rename below directories and do a fresh install and let us know if you face any challenges.

 

/etc/CommVaultRegistry

/opt/commvault
