The Index Store package is a lightweight indexing engine that supports several Commvault features, such as File Storage Optimization, Sensitive Data Analysis, and more. Clients with Index Store installed are configured as Index Servers entities in the Commvault software.
Use this preinstallation checklist to prepare the computer where the Index Store will be installed and to gather all of the information you will need during the installation.
Verify System Requirements
Verify that the computer where you will install Index Store satisfies the minimum requirements for the features that you intend to configure on the Index Server. Because the Index Server supports several different features, some features have different minimum requirements for the Index Store. For more specific information, see the system requirements in the feature documentation.
For general system requirements information, see Index Store: System Requirements.
Verify License Requirements
The Index Store package does not require a license to install.
Determine the Installation Location
