During installation, Commvault creates files and folders for the installed packages. For new Linux installations, installation binaries, application data, log files, and the registry are stored in separate default locations. Existing Linux installations that are upgraded retain their current directory layout.
Important
For new Linux installations, Commvault stores installation binaries, application data, log files, and the registry in separate default locations.
-
Installation binaries are stored in
/opt/commvault. -
Application data is stored under
/var/opt/commvault.
The directory layout applies only to new Linux installations. Existing installations that are upgraded retain their current directory layout.
Note
Commvault periodically backs up the UNIX registry. For more information, see Periodic Backup of the UNIX Registry.

Additional Files Created during Installations on Cluster Environments
In addition to the files and/or folders created during the installation of an agent, the following section describes additional modifications made when installing on a Veritas cluster (VCS) environment.
Veritas Cluster
A new application called GxClusterPlugin_service_group_name is created in the Veritas cluster, and dependency links will be set up from this newly created application to all of the resources in the group of type IP, mount point and disk group. This ensures that the plug-in is started after all of the other resources have come online or is stopped before any other resource goes offline during failovers.
The plug-in must be able to read the main.cmd file, which is typically located under /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config. If the file is not present, it will be created with the following command:
hacf -cftocmd directory_path
After the command is ran, the main.cmd file is created with the same ownership as that of Commvault processes.
