  3. In the Nodes tab, select the Enable CommServe Live Sync option to enable the CommServe LiveSync feature.

    Note

    A Commvault created default server plan for CommServe LiveSync uses a non-deduplication storage and a worm copy. To use a server plan other than the default, ensure that you are using a non-deduplication storage.

    For more information, see the following:

    Schedules for the LiveSync operation is enabled and the databases are converted to the full recovery model.

    Conversely, when this option is disabled, schedules for the LiveSync operation is disabled and the databases are converted to the simple recovery model.

  4. Click OK.

What to Do Next

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.

Additional Information

If you are disabling the CommServe LiveSync feature, make sure to delete the topologies created for CommServe Failover under the Network Topologies node in the CommCell Browser. The topologies will be listed under the following sub-nodes:

  • Network Topology Created for Commserv Failover

  • Network Topology created for failover clients

Caution

Deleting the topologies will change firewall configuration and may affect network routes. Hence it should be done only when the feature is disabled permanently.
