System Requirements for Solaris File System

Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for the Solaris file system.

Operating System

Important

Use the most recent version of the operating system that is listed. The Commvault software fully supports the most recent version of an operating system, until the vendor ends support. More recent versions of the Commvault software might not install on operating systems that are not supported by the vendor anymore. For information about the support lifecycle of an operating system, contact the vendor.
In a UNIX virtualization environment using Solaris, you can back up and restore data in both global and non-global zones.
