Client Registrations

Clients must be registered with the CommServe computer to start protecting their data.

By default, when you install the Commvault software on a computer, the computer registers with the CommServe computer and becomes a client in your CommCell environment.

Refer to the registration topic that addresses your current organization's needs:

• If you installed the Commvault software in decoupled mode, you must register the client manually by using one of the following procedures:

  Note the following for Commvault software installed in decoupled mode:

  • If you want to add an additional package to a client, you must first uninstall all existing packages, and then add all packages again at once.

  • Decoupled clients can only be updated by uninstalling/reinstalling or push updates, after they are registered to the CommServe computer.

  • Registering the Client Using the CommCell Console

  • Registering the Client Using the Command Line

  • Interactive End-User Edge Monitor Activation
