By default, when you install the Commvault software on remote clients, the clients retrieve the software from the CommServe cache. To minimize the network traffic for remote clients on different regions or time zones, you can configure a remote cache directory on one of the remote clients. The clients associated with the remote cache will retrieve the software from the remote cache.
Note
You can instruct a client or a client group to download software updates from the internet (that is, from Akamai), instead of from the remote cache. For more information, see one of the following:
To set up a remote cache, see Setting Up a Remote Cache on a Client Computer. You can set up more than one remote cache location.
If you already have a remote cache configured, you can perform the following tasks to manage the remote cache:
-
Manually Synchronizing the Remote Cache
If you changed or removed the contents from a remote cache accidentally, see Synchronizing the Remote Cache Contents with the CommServe Cache.
-

If you want to adjust the amount of software that is transferred from the CommServe cache, see Configuring the Package Synchronization Settings of a Remote Cache.
-

If you want to enable syncing of the additional media folder during remote cache synchronization, see Configuring an Additional Media Path for Remote Cache Synchronization.
-
