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**

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:
