Most of the Commvault implementations we perform are making use of ‘Network Gateways’ / ‘Proxies’.
To make it my life a bit easier, I’m using the ‘Network Gateway Appliance’ which can be downloaded on cloud.commvault.com. (https://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/130/704/19138).
I noticed the latest version is still 11.20; which can still be upgraded. But the appliance is also CentOS7 based which is giving me more and more hassle.… as it’s approaching EOL.
Are there any plans to renew the appliance ? Perhaps based on an Oracle Linux edition (such as the FREL appliance) ?
I’m aware that the gateway / proxy is just a component and that I can install virtually any OS to function as a proxy. Just that it was nice having an officially supported OVA template ready to deploy ?
I believe I should be able to use an FREL virtual appliance to setup proxies as well ? By just removing the MA role & software cache ?
If you have any news, preferred approaches … please let me know.
Kind regards,
Tom
