Cluster Support

You can install the software on a cluster, if clustering is supported by the operating system. For information about supported cluster types, see Support for Cluster Configuration.

Hard Drive

Windows

479 MB minimum of hard disk space for software.

68 MB of free disk space for log files.

68 MB of free disk space for job results.

Linux

742 MB minimum of hard disk space for software.

87 MB of free disk space for log files.

87 MB of free disk space for job results.

Solaris Containers and Zones

You can back up and restore data in both global and non-global zones.

For a list of supported components, see Unix Virtualization.

AIX LPAR/WPAR

Data protection on Logical Partitioning (LPAR) and Workload Partitioning (WPAR) is supported.

File System Agent Requirements

The operating system must have been installed with at least the user level software option selected.

Supported Libraries for CentOS v5.7 (or higher)

You should use the latest library versions for CentOS 5.7 (or higher) as the library provided by Commvault may not be the latest. Informix programs may require the latest library versions. If not used, the Informix instance configuration will fail with errors such as showing the server status as UNKNOWN.

To use the latest libraries, rename the libgcc_s.so.1 library located in the Software_Installation_Directory>/Base folder to a different name. This will allow Informix programs to load libraries available from the system.

Consideration for Installing 32-bit Informix on 64-bit Linux

To protect a 32-bit Informix Dynamic Server Application on a 64-bit LINUX client, configure the client installation program to install 32-bit agents.

For information on how to perform this operation, see Enabling 32-Bit Installations on 64-Bit Linux Computers.

PowerPC Processor Support

Commvault supports both of the 64-bit PowerPC architectures: ppc64 (or "big endian") and ppc64le (or "little endian"). For SuSE Linux, the ppc64le PowerPC architecture is supported on SuSE Linux 12 SP1 Enterprise Server or more recent releases.

DISCLAIMER

Certain third-party software and service releases (together, “Releases”) may not be supported by Commvault. You are solely responsible for ensuring Commvault’s products and services are compatible with any such Releases.
