AHV Supported Versions

HI @Patrick Dijkgraaf 

I see that another customer logged a case last week and asked the same question. 

This is what Engineering responded:

Currently AOS 6.7 is certified. We will certify 6.8 soon Please use the 6.8 version and escalate if face any issues.

Best Regards,

Sebastien

This release hit the street in May, so it kind off make sense that Commvault wasn't able to perform a full validation/certification cycle yet. I assume you are building greenfield, so you have time/possibility to perform backup/recovery tests on the new platform before marking the AHV-based platform production ready. Do mind VEEAM already identified an issue on their side with AHV 6.8 impacting restore performance. They seem to have the same approach as @Sebastien Merluzzi shared. Click here for the VEEAM post.

@Sebastien Merluzzi : Thanks, we will go ahead with that then! And what about Windows 2022 Access Node? Does the same apply?

@Onno van den Berg : Yes, correct. It’s a new AHV env where they will be migrating their VMs to in the next months. So plenty of time to identify issues and get them corrected.

OK, great. Thanks!

May I know which version of Commvault will work with AHV 6.10? Many thanks.

It is supported with the latest innovation release, so I assume they will backport the compatibility to FR36 as well.
