Good morning.  It is not mandatory to update your CommCell environment to FR23.  Were you told that this was required?

@DarioV as previously mentioned, you do not have to upgrade your environment to the newest release. It is not mandatory.

You are on a LTS (Long Term Support) release SP16 and that will be will be supported for 5 years (2024).

If you need additional info, refer to the table reference guide here: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/2619_feature_release_schedule_and_lifecycles.html

But if you do want to upgrade to potentially bring some new functionalities with new FRs or fix specific issues, I would recommend you take a look at this post that will provide a few considerations before upgrading it.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Yes, I have to perform the update to be able to use some new features that have been introduced, I would be inclined to upgrade to the F23 also because the F24 is not compatible with MySql server 2016 currently installed on the commserve.

Having to upgrade, the question was whether I should do it on the CommServe as well as on the media agents and clients anyway?

When upgrading your environment, you want to follow the following order described on the link below.
