Hello,
I have CommServe backup server (two Media Agents with many machines, with Linux Data Agent, also virtual machines) version simpana 11.20.0 installed. I have to plan migrate our existing CommServe (installed on Windows 2012) to a newer hardware with better performance and Windows 10.
Which documentation do you recommend? Which method of install to use for upgrade?
I have found https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=2224.htm
Thank you!
Best regards,
Elizabeta

Release Types
Feature release → Once every quarter → One (1) year from initial release.
Long-term support (LTS) feature release → Once every year → Three (3) years from initial release, with monthly maintenance releases for year 1 and year 2, and then as needed.

Elizabeta,
Since you are just changing the hardware of the Commserve, the following documentation is what you need to follow:
https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=4739.htm
Just be sure to use the media for the same version you are currently on.

Hello
Is the CommServe just a CS or does it have any other roles? (i.e Media Agent)
That’s the correct link to move and upgrade the CommServe to new Hardware.
Essentially you run a DR backup, Build the new CS and point the installer to the latest DR Backup in Database options.
Best Regards,
Michael
