+6If you need to shut down one side of a Commvault LiveSync HA setup, here’s the safe way to do it so you don’t mess up the DDB or lose data:
First, check if the CommServe you’re shutting down is the active one. If it is, do a planned failover to the standby node.
Pause or let any running jobs on the MediaAgent finish, and put the MA in maintenance mode so nothing new starts.
Gracefully stop all Commvault services on both the CS and MA.
Use the PowerVault/PowerStore management tools to shut down the storage arrays gracefully (make sure there’s no active I/O).
Once all that’s done, power off the servers.
Don’t skip the failover or maintenance steps otherwise, you risk DDB or data issues. This order keeps everything clean and safe.
