Commvault Backups

====================================================================================

Installing Commvault Agent on Linux server

  1.  Ensure that the Commvault ports are open on the client firewall:
telnet 81.201.136.241 8400
telnet 81.201.136.241 8600

2. SSH into the Client server you wish to install the Commvault agent on. Review the backup requirements (File only/File & MySQL etc) and run the appropriate command in the terminal.

Run the following command and complete the wizard

bash <(curl -s http://80.244.178.135/Linux/CommVault/installer-script/commvault_install.sh)

If the MA is v10, use the v10 download command as v10 MA's do not support v11 clients

UPDATE THE FLAGS  : -clientname idxxxxx -clienthost idxxxxx.cvbackup.ukfast

v11 all packages UPDATE ID's

mkdir CommvaultInstallMedia  && cd CommvaultInstallMedia && wget http://80.244.178.135/Commvault/v11/CommCell_F9F70_Main/Linux_X86_64_Custom_Seed_Package_FR20-MR27_F9F70/Custom_Seed_Package_FR20-MR27_F9F70.tar && tar -xvf Custom_Seed_Package_FR20-MR27_F9F70.tar && cd ./pkg && ./cvpkgadd -silent -clientname idXXXXX -clienthost idXXXXX.cvbackup.ukfast && history -d $(history | tail -n 1) && cd ~ && rm -rf CommvaultInstallMedia/;

v10 download command:

rm -rf CommvaultInstallMedia && mkdir CommvaultInstallMedia  && cd CommvaultInstallMedia  && wget --user=staff.download --password='huC6cKUe' http://80.244.178.135/CommVault/v10/DownloadPackages/SP14_Agents/Linux/All_iDAs_Linux_SP14.tar && tar -xvf All_iDAs_Linux_SP14.tar && cd CVDownloads  && ./cvpkgadd ;history -d $(history | tail -n 1); cd ~; rm -rf CommvaultInstallMedia/;

3. Confirm the agent is installed and running by the following Commands:

simpana list
simpana status

Check that the install media has been removed from the server and the history to ensure no evidence of the command run.

history

Alongside the wget command will be a "line number". Run the following to delete this line:

history -d LINE-NUMBER

Troubleshooting Commvault Backup Issues

commvault has a rather useful 'readiness check' which basically just checks the backup system for any errors:

CommGUI > Client Computers > ctrl+f > SID > right click > all tasks > check readiness
