Welcome to CDS Documentation

Welcome to the user documentation for Commvault Distributed Storage (CDS), which provides multi-protocol support across block, file, and object storage with native application, hypervisor, container, and cloud integration to consolidate storage silos.

Note

Previously, CDS was known as the Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform and also CVDS.

Primary User Guides (at left):

  • Use the Hedvig Cluster Deployment Guide to set up, install, and upgrade Hedvig Storage Cluster Nodes, Storage Proxies, and Deployment Servers, as well as to set up environments using HCI (hyperconverged infrastructure), AWS (Amazon Web Services), KVM (kernel-based virtual machine), Hyper-V, Multipath I/O, and HTTPS.

  • Use the Hedvig WebUI User Guide to create and manage virtual disks, snapshots, and clones, as well as to manage Hedvig Storage Clusters, Storage Proxies, Storage Pool Migration, rebalancing, and SNMP configurations, using the Hedvig WebUI.

  • Use the Hedvig S3 Protocol-Compatible Object Storage User Guide to use Hedvig's S3 Protocol-Compatible Object Storage, including how to set up configuration files, SSE, HTTPS, AWS CLI, and S3 API calls and operations supported by Hedvig.

Additional User Guides:
