When you already have a Linux FREL you can't deploy a new one?

I should note that we’re only on 11.25 right now, whereas those documents are for 11.26. Was the ability to do the deployment via the comcell admin console only added in 11.26? I guess I’m not seeing a similar page in the 11.25 docs. If our only option is to do an offline install like your video from 2020 describes, just let me know.

Hi! Try with this additional setting: enableFRELDeploy

Thank you, @euMike . Adding that boolean did allow me to get started! I think I set everything properly but when I finish and it actually tries to deploy the VM, I get the following error:

Error Code: [19:1618]
Description: Virtual Machine Management job has failed. Failure Reason:[Unable to find Datastore:[DatastoreCluster] on host [domain-c20]]
Source: commserve, Process: VMManagement

My domain is definitely not named ‘domain-c20’ so I’m not sure where it’s getting that from. Our datastore we have connected to VMware is indeed named ‘datastorecluster’ though, so that’s accurate.

Appreciate the update, @ZachHeise !  I moved the Best Answer accordingly.

FWIW - after upgrading to 11.26 we got the exact same error. What actually ended up solving the issue with those [domain-c20] errors - for us - was that Commvault as of this moment does not support deploying OVA FREL files to a VMware datastore cluster - which I was doing - you have to pick a datastore. Commvault paid support has told me that developers have been made aware of this and the problem will be patched.

@euMike Where do you go to make this configuration change? We are having this same issue.

@Steve McKinney that’s an additional setting:

The above link provides an overview and instructions on how to apply them.

The best part is that since it is all done through the GUI, any CS rebuild+ DR restore will retain them (as opposed to old school registry keys).
