Configuring the Package Synchronization Settings of a Remote Cache

By default, the remote cache synchronizes specific software to reduce the amount of packages and updates that are transferred from the CommServe cache. The remote cache synchronizes the following software:

  • Updates required for all the clients associated with the remote cache.

  • Packages required to upgrade associated clients that are from older Commvault versions.

    For example, if you have a V10 client, then the remote cache retrieves V10 updates along with V11 packages and updates needed to upgrade the client.

You can adjust the synchronization settings of a remote cache to perform one of the following operations:

  • Synchronize additional packages for specific operating systems, in addition to the packages that are automatically synchronized. This is useful if you plan to install new packages in the near future.

  • Synchronize all packages and updates that reside in the CommServe cache.
