Hi Team,
We are looking at moving our Commserve up from SP24, to SP26 or above, as there are one or two fixes that are in the later SP’s that would help us.
However, we have some very old hardware which runs Windows Server 2008 which our customer has not been able to replace. They are also Media Agents.
Roughly eighteen months ago, we successfully moved the 2K8 Media Agents to SP16, whilst at the same time upgraded the remaining Commserve and Media agents to SP24.
Everything has been fine - no issues whatsoever with the older MA’s continuing to run on SP16 and their 2K8 OS. We are probably fortunate that their is limited usage. Filesystem, VSA and a small amount of SQL.
The question I have now, is does anyone have SP26 or later in their environment, as well as older media agent SP’s? And if you do, have you had any issues?
I understand that Commvault stopped supporting 2K8 beyond SP12 for new deployments, and generally speaking prefer all CS and MS SP’s at the same level. But our hands are tied as the customer cannot yet provide new hardware to replace the older MA’s.
Thanks in advance. And just to confirm, we definitely are not going beyond SP16 for the os 2K8 ma’s.
