Skipping the Download of Software for Deconfigured Clients

By default, when you download the software by using the CommCell Console, packages and updates are downloaded for all the clients in your CommCell environment.

If you want to reduce the size and time of the software download, you can create an additional setting to skip the software used by deconfigured clients.

This configuration prevents the download from retrieving the Commvault software for specific operating systems. For example, if you have AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris clients in your CommCell environment, and the AIX clients are deconfigured, then the download operation will not retrieve the software for AIX operating systems.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe node and click Properties.

2. In the CommCell Properties dialog box, click the Additional Settings tab and then click Add.

3. In the Add Additional Settings on Windows Client dialog box, complete the following steps:

   1. In the Name box, type IgnoreDeconfigClientsForPatchDownload.

   2. In the Value box, type 1.

   3. Click OK.

4. In the CommCell Properties dialog box, click OK.

   The next time you download the software, the download operation will not retrieve the software for the operating system of the deconfigured clients.
