# Enabling or Disabling CommServe LiveSync

Enable the CommServe LiveSync feature to facilitate CommServe Recovery Using High Availability CommServe Host.

## Before You Begin

- Verify that the Status icons in the Process Manager for Production Node and Passive Node(s) are displayed in green in both the Production and Standby CommServe hosts, before enabling the CommServe LiveSync operation. For more information on the icons in Process Manager, see Verifying the Default Setup.

- Verify that the Index server is not configured on the Web Server, which is also the CommServe server.

- Verify that the Download Center application is not used from the Web Server that is on the CommServe server.

- Check if you already have a non-dedup storage added on a non-CS MediaAgent. If not, create a non-dedup storage on a non-CS MediaAgent.

- If you wish not to use the default CommServeDR storagePolicy for CSLiveSync, create a plan with database full and transaction log backup RPO settings specified using the non-dedup storage created on a non-CS MediaAgent and select this plan while enabling CSLiveSync from the Command Center.

- If you have passphrase files and CyberArk certificates available in the CommCell environment, back up them to a secured location.

## Procedure

1. Open Command Center URL using the following format: http://webhost/commandcenter.

2. Enter your user name and password and click Login.

3. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Settings > Global.

4. Click the CommServe LiveSync tile.

   The CommServe LiveSync page appears.

5. Under Replication, move the Enable toggle key to the right.

   The Edit replication settings dialog box appears.

6. OPTIONAL: Edit the replication settings as follows:

   1. To enable automatic failover, move the Automatic Failover toggle key to the right.

      For more information on automatic failovers, see Enabling Automatic Failovers

   2. In the Replication frequency box, increase or decrease the frequency of the replication jobs.

   3. In the Plan list, select a new plan for CommServe LiveSync.

      Note

      A Commvault created default backup plan for CommServe LiveSync uses a non-deduplication storage and a worm copy. For CommServe LiveSync, backup plans with only non-deduplication storage are available for selection.

      For more information, see the following:

      - To avoid accidental deletion of data, see Configuring Storage Lock.

      - To remove a worm copy, see KB article 81103.

7. Click Save.

## What to Do Next

- If a passphrase key management server is configured in the CommCell environment and the passphrase is exported to the CommServe client, then you must export the passphrase to the SQL clients of all nodes instead of exporting to CommServe client. The export of the passphrase to all clients ensures that the passphrase is available on all the nodes.

- If an AWS Key Management Service (KMS) Server, or a Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) server is configured in the CommCell environment, then you must copy the certificates to all the nodes under the same path.

- Verify the setup from the production CommServe host to ensure that the default components are installed and configured properly. For more information, see Verifying the Default Setup.

- If you have backed up passphrase files and CyberArk certificates, once LiveSync is completed, copy the passphrase files and CyberArk certificates to the passive CommServe node under the same path.

Note

After you enable the CommServe LiveSync feature, the Auto-start services when OS starts option in process manager is disabled and controlled by the CSLiveSync feature.
