Howdy folks,
Our current environment:
One on-prem mediaagent connected to SAN for primary backups
One off-site mediaagent with storage and jbod for DR
One Commserve
265TB of deduplicated data, 1 DDB, nearly 11PB of undeduplicated data
Our goal:
We want to add a second on-prem mediaagent (with its own DDB and index cache) to work in tandem with our current primary mediaagent. Our idea/hope/goal is that both on-prem mediaagents (one existing, one new) would be under the same storage, deduplication, and copy policies and Commserve would load-balance jobs between the two. Both of these would then copy over to our third (existing) off-site mediaagent. We met with our Commvault rep during purchasing of the new mediaagent and he said it would be possible, but didn’t give us any specifics. Now that installation/setup is here, I can’t find any documentation on how to actually accomplish this. I’ve found everything I need to prepare for installation, and install the Commvault software on the mediaagent, but nothing beyond that (unless I want to start from scratch). I found one page that documents how to add a mediaagent to an existing global dedupe storage policy, but its only for Unix ma’s. I haven’t found anything on how to integrate a new (Windows) mediaagent into an existing (Windows) environment. Can someone point me in the right direction? Any assistance would be appreciated!
