1. Reinstall the server to clean OS, or if needed rack up a new server, have networks configure the IP and then run through autoinstaller.
2. Once server is installed, and configured as intended, we need to install the commvault agent to allow for commserve to reach the server.
   I'd also advise looking to perform a 'readiness check' via Commgui.

Client servers > SID > 

3. Once commvault agent is installed and confirmed to be working, you can look to being the restore process. The first step of the restore process is to run a restore of only the below directories, without using the 'unconditional overwrite' option:

/usr/lib64
/usr/lib

4. Once the above initial restore has been completed, we can then look to perform the main restore. This needs to be run with the below directories excluded:

/opt/commvault
/proc
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
/etc/fstab
/etc/mtab
/etc/udev.d
/boot
/usr/lib64
/usr/lib

voila that should be it, however, these sort of things never seem to go as planned, so I'd advise reviewing the aforementioned KB articles for further information if needed.

Side note, you also NEED to make sure that any required cleanup is done, ie making sure all appropriate software is installed on sid (threatmon etc), and that any old SID/servers are approriately removed.
