We are planning to deploy some Media Agents for extra copies.

As the primaries are RedHat machines we prefer Windows for the copy where the current preferred version is Windows 2022 Core.

Allhough I’m confident it will work based on the documentation here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/3011_windows_file_system_system_requirements.html

I know it’s about a File Agent, but it states that non-GUI / push installs will work fine on a CORE edition. The only packages to my knowledge that require a GUI installation are CS & WebServer.

SInce we want to be fully supported we do try to follow the specific supported OS’s for a Media Agent here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/2822_mediaagent_system_requirements_01.html

There you can see that ‘Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard Editions’ is supported, but it’s not mentioning specifically Windows 2022 Core (which it does for Windows 2019 Core).

Some time ago Commvault support mentioned that a documention update was to be expected at the end of August, but the article is still from July 11, 2022.

Is there still an update to be expected related to supported OS’s ?

Kind regards,

Tom

 

Hi @Tom Pirot ,

 

We've discussed it with the relevant team and should have an ETA to update the document links by tomorrow.

I will update this thread by tomorrow as more information comes in.

@Tom Pirot ,

DOC MR# 409074 has been created for this and Support should be added from Platform Release 34

Ok, thanks for the info. Just to be clear:

So, Windows 2022 CORE is currently not officially supported as MA OS. It might become supported in 11.34.

 

@Tom Pirot 

Yes, that is correct. :-)
