Trouble adding a third VSA proxy

Hello @roc_tor 

If you login to the proxy and open commvault process manager, do you see all the services running under services tab? Also, could you try to reboot the proxy once and see if it comes up in the list?

Best,

Rajiv Singal

I’ve rebooted several times.. we have the following services running:
 

...vmproxy2:~➤ sudo commvault -all list

                       *** Instance001, bkp-sgw-cvcc1 ***

+-----------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------+

| Service   |   PID   |   Description                                          |

+-----------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------+

| cvlaunchd | 1660    | Commvault Launch Daemon                                |

+-----------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------+

| cvd       | 1661    | Commvault Communications Service                       |

+-----------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------+

| cvfwd     | 1663    | Commvault FireWall Daemon                              |

+-----------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------+

| ClMgrS    | 1665    | Commvault Client Event Manager                         |

+-----------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------+
 

Merci!

Here’s another thought… tell me what you think:

Take the FREL client distributed by CV - double its RAM from 8 to 16 Gig, add some processors (I’m using 4 on my VSAs at the moment) and add three more SCSI paravirtual cards. 

It has Mono 6.8 on it and apparently won’t update that.

Voilà - VSA proxy.  Yes?  No?

I’ve labeled Rajiv’s answer as the best, as that’s what I did - wiped out the VM and just deployed the FREL client, beefed it up a bit and it’s working great. 

A couple things I’ll add: 

1. FREL OVA installs won’t update themselves to the current release level automajically - we need to update that manually.  
2. The FREL OVA comes with other services installed (such as MediaAgent).  If your only purpose for this is to be a VSA proxy, security best practices, of course, guide us to uninstall those components.

Thanks, Rajiv!
