You can install the CommServe server in a Linux environment.
Note
When Microsoft SQL Server is installed as part of the CommServe installation, Commvault automatically sets the system administrator (sa) password. If MS SQL Server was installed separately and if the sa password does not match the default password set by Commvault, the installation wizard prompts you for the password.
