v11.20 upgrade to 11.28

Hi CV Forum. Hopefully someone can advise here. I couldn’t find these exact questions in the forum. I am going to upgrade from 11.20.172 to 11.28.(latest) and just have a few things I can’t seem to find in the masses of documentation.Great walkthrough here by Jos on the upgrade procedure to 11.26 and going to be pretty much the same procedure. We are running SQL 2016 and just wondering if anyone has come across the need to update.. I doubt it but couldn’t find it in the reams of documentation. Upgrade from version 11.20 to 11.26 (Latest release) | Community (commvault.com) Also, we are having to maintain some older EOL OS which require v9 and v10 client versions. Has anyone upgraded to 11.28.x and can they confirm they still work?  Thanks for any advice. Alan

Upgrade Commvault 11.20 to 11.32, and also upgrade from Windows Server 2019-2022

Hi,We are currently running Commvault in a VM 11.20.168 on Windows Server 2019, and also using a FREL.As the title states, I would like to upgrade the Commvault release from 11.20.168 to the latest version 11.32, and also the Windows Server version. We have 4 instances that I maintain, and it is a closed network (I have to download the update files and transfer them over).This VM was previously running Windows Server 2012R2 but I upgraded our instances to Windows 2019. I could just do an in place upgrade again to 2022, but maybe it is best to make a new VMs. Please share your thoughts and recommendations.

Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. RESTORE LOG is terminated. Please let me know me probability  solution. Regards, Michal

Updating Windows Server as CommServe and Media Agent

Hello everyone,I'm planning to upgrade my Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2016, which currently has Commvault 11.24 installed. It also hosts SQL Server 2012. Could anyone provide guidance on the compatibility of Commvault with Windows Server 2016 and whether it's necessary to update SQL Server before the upgrade? I appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.Thank you.

CommServe Hardware refresh from Windows 2012 & SQL Server 2012 to Windows 2022

Hello,  We plan to perform a CommServe hardware refresh from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019. Commserve is on Feature Release 28, and the SQL server version is 2012. What is the upgrade path for the Commserve with SQL running in 2012? Do we need to first upgrade the SQL to 2014/2016 and then perform the Hardware refresh? Or is it possible to perform a hardware refresh without upgrading the SQL? The documentation doesn’t mention about SQL upgrade path.  CommServe Upgrade with Hardware Refresh: Overview (commvault.com)

Best Approach to Upgrade Commvault v10 to v11 with Windows Server 2012 to 2016 Migration

Hello fellow Commvault users,I have a question regarding the upgrade of Commvault from v10 to v11 while also migrating from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2016. I am seeking to determine the best course of action for this process.Option 1:Start by formatting the server and upgrading it to Windows Server 2016. Perform a Disaster Recovery to restore Commvault v10 after the OS upgrade. Finally, proceed with the upgrade to Commvault v11.Option 2:First, update Commvault v10 to v11 while the server is still running on Windows Server 2012. Once the Commvault upgrade is complete, format the server and update it to Windows Server 2016. After the OS migration, recover Commvault using the Disaster Recovery process.I would greatly appreciate your input and feedback on which option you believe is the most efficient and reliable for upgrading Commvault and migrating the OS. If any of you have faced a similar situation or have alternative suggestions, please share your thoughts.Thank you all i
