In most cases, the CommServe host will be located in a data center and accessed remotely. Limit the need for users to have interactive logon rights by not having the CommCell Console, Webserver, and Web Console components installed on the CommServe host.
The CommCell Console is selected for installation by default when the CommServe component is installed. The Web Server and Web Console components are automatically selected for installation only if IIS is installed. Clear these components during the installation process. There is no real requirement for any of these components to be installed on the CommServe component host.
IIS is only required when web-based access is needed for the CommCell Console or the Web Server.
If the Web Server and Web Console components are installed on hosts other than the CommServe component host, the firewall and SQL (ODBC) communication need to be configured. Consult Commvault documentation on Post-Installation Configurations for Web Server and Web Console.
The CommCell Console component can run as a stand-alone application or as a remote web-based application. For information on installation and configuration, consult Commvault documentation on CommCell Console - Advanced.
