Hi,
we use Commvault Simpana 11 with a TB licence model.
I backup my Windows fileserver with a file agent and i plan to migrate this to VMWare virtual server agent.
How is the behavior because of the TB capacity?
Do i need 6 tb for the transition period until the data from the file server agent is aged out?
Thanks and Regards
Dennis

Capacity Planning during migration of P to V
Best answer by Stuart Painter
Hi
You also have another option in the meantime.
Once you migrate this server from FS to VM backups, you’re correct, your capacity consumption will increase to include the new data as it will be a new client (for the VM) and this will be as considered new data.
However, if you disable activity on the Windows FS client/subclient, this will exclude that capacity from the license calculation.
No new backup jobs will be performed, and existing jobs will age out according your days and cycles retention rules.
Thanks,
Stuart
