Before deploying Commvault Grid, ensure that the network, hardware, software, and connectivity requirements are properly configured and validated.
Preparing the environment helps prevent deployment issues, reduces troubleshooting effort, and ensures that the Commvault Grid cluster can be successfully registered and integrated with the CommServe environment.
The following preparation tasks must be completed before deployment.
Software Readiness
Verify that the Commvault Grid software is ready for deployment.
DNS Readiness
Configure and validate DNS services that will be used by the Commvault Grid nodes.
Network and Switch Readiness
Configure the network infrastructure required for Commvault Grid communication and cluster operations.
Hardware Readiness
Validate that the Commvault Grid hardware meets the deployment requirements and is configured correctly.
CommServe Connectivity Readiness
Complete the following tasks only if you are deploying Commvault Grid into an existing CommServe environment.
Verify CommServe Compatibility
Ensure that the CommServe version is compatible with the Commvault Grid software version.
Configure Firewall Connectivity
If the CommServe server is located behind a firewall, configure the required connectivity before deployment.
