Installation:
Simpana Components in a CommCell Environment
CommServer
§ This component creates a SQL database that communicates with all clients and coordinates all operations within the CommCell environment, such as backups, restores, copies, and media management operations. Install the CommServe component on a
Linux computer.
§ Along with the CommServe software, the following components are automatically installed:
CommCell Console
§ The console is a GUI that allows you to control and manage CommCell operations.
§ File System >>Enables the backup and restore of files and folders
§ Web Server and Web Console >>the Web Server component is installed along with the Web Console component. The Web Console is a web-based application that allows end-users manage their
Media Agent:
§ Manages the transmission of data between clients and backup media
Agent
§ Agents allow you to protect file systems, applications, and databases on a client computer
Installation Methods
§ Remote Installation
§ Interactive Installation
Remote Installation
§ validate client comp entry in GUI
§ Validate Commvlt-pkg version Installed On (update status colmn)
step2
§ If older version is installed
§ Release the License of Client Comp > Delete (Delete & erase and reuse media)
from GUI
§ IF no Registry of Client Comp > Skip this Step
Step3
§ Access the root in Linux machine
§ Validate Nic Config; Media Agent & Backup Vlan & Cvpings
§ verify rpm pkg; Make copy of CommVaultRegistry; Remove old registry
§ Resize Simpana to 3GB & SCP pkg v.^10 [CommVault10_Linux.tar] from
repositories to $SERVER:/opt/simpana
§ Kill all the running processes & Un-Tar the installation file & remove the trd pkg
§ Reinstall new pkg. /cvpkgadd
IMPLIMENTATION STEPS COMMANDLINE
§) cd /etc/ && cp -r /etc/CommVaultRegistry /etc/CommVaultRegistry.gone && rm -
rf /etc/CommVaultRegistry
§ 2) rpm -qa | grep Commvault && rpm -e Commvault-9.8a-4.x86_64 && cd
/opt/simpana && rm -rf pkg simpana
§ 3) df -h |grep simpana | ps -ef | grep simpana && kill -9 ***
§ 4) /sbin/lvresize -L 3096M /dev/optvg/fs_opt_simpana && /sbin/resize2fs
/dev/optvg/fs_opt_simpana
§ 5) scp -r CommVault10_Linux.tar /opt/simpana && ps -ef | grep simpana & kill
-9
6) tar -vxf CommVault10_Linux.tar && rm -
rf CommVault*.tar && cd pkg && ./cvpkgadd

Common Installation Problems and Solutions
A. Wrong nic config
B. Wrong backup IPS
C. Wrong MediaAgent
D. Connectivity/Network
E. Cvping
F. Firewall
G. Operational Window
H. Corrupt Install
I. Wrong CommServer/double pointing in 2 diff CommServers
J. Simpana 2gb Instead of 3GB
K. Closed ports {8400 ; 8402}/ firewall
Resolutions
§ Validate backup nic and do cvping
§ 10.69.179.1 gateway
§ Validate firewall
-ps -ef | grep –i simpana* & ps -ef | grep simpana | awk '{print $2 }' | xargs kill
#(good)
§ validate: simpana status
§ Validate corrupt install: cd /etc/Galaxy/Instance001/CommServe &&
cat .properties
§Validate log files : var/log/simpana/Log_Files
§dmesg | grep eth
§ netstat -r -n # finding router
§ ping -cl 10.69.179.1 # ping route {gateway}
§ Validate slaves : ifconfig -a | grep -1 SLAVE
§ ifconfig -a | grep eth
§ eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:D3:C1:F9:82:04
§ eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:D3:C1:F9:82:05
§ eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:D3:C1:F9:82:06
