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

 

Hello @Tom Pirot 

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. 

Please go through this document where you have the link for downloading the OVF template for the proxy: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/102603_deploying_commvault_network_proxy_appliance.html

You should be able to use FREL by removing MA role, however if you face any issues you can always raise a case but you deploy OVF from the vmware image shared in the download link in this document. 

Best,

Rajiv Singal
