Scheduling Commvault Pods to Dedicated Namespace

Commvault creates temporary PersistentVolumeClaims and pods to perform backup and restore operations. By default, these temporary resources are created in same namespace where the application to be protected resides. The temporary resources can be scheduled to any designated namespace by configuring the sK8sWorkerNamespace and sK8sWorkerServiceAccount additional settings.

If a source application uses a specific service account, then ensure that the same service account is available in the designated namespace as specified in sK8sWorkerNamespace. You can add the service account for the pod using the sK8sWorkerServiceAccount additional setting.
