Enabling CommServe LiveSync

Enable (or disable) the CommServe LiveSync feature to facilitate CommServe Recovery Using High Availability CommServe Host.

Before You Begin

• Verify that the Index server is not configured on the Web server which is also the CommServe server.

• Verify that the Download Center application is not used from the Web server that is on the CommServe server.

Procedure

1. On the CommCell Console ribbon, in the Home tab, click Control Panel.

   The Control Panel dialog box appears.

2. In the CommCell group, click CommServe LiveSync.

   The CommServe LiveSync dialog box appears.

3. In the Nodes tab, select the Enable CommServe Live Sync option to enable the option.

   Note

   A Commvault created default backup plan for CommServe LiveSync uses a non-deduplication storage and a worm copy. To use a backup plan other than the default, ensure that you are using a non-deduplication storage.

   For more information, see the following:

   • To avoid accidental deletion of data, see Enabling WORM Storage and Retention for Disk Storage.

   • To remove a worm copy, see KB article 81103.

   When enabled, schedules for the LiveSync operation is enabled and the databases are converted to the full recovery model.

   Conversely, when this option is disabled, the schedules for the LiveSync operation is disabled and the databases are converted to the simple recovery model.

4. Click OK.

What To Do Next

• Configure connectivity to remote Web Server and Workflow Engine clients.

• If a passphrase key management server is configured in the CommCell environment and the passphrase is exported to the CommServe client, then you must export the passphrase to the SQL clients of all nodes instead of exporting to CommServe client. The export of the passphrase to all clients ensures that the passphrase is available on all the nodes.

• If an AWS Key Management Service (KMS) Server or a Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) server is configured in the CommCell environment, then you must copy the certificates to all the nodes under the same path.

Additional Information

If you are disabling the CommServe LiveSync feature, make sure to delete the Firewall Topology created for CommServe Failover, available under the Network Topologies node in the CommCell Browser. For more information, see Network Topologies and Clients Groups Created for CommServe LiveSync.
