ComVault Simpana Installation (cv11) on Linux (RHEL7)- Step by Step
Gineesh has worked as a Systems Engineer, Automation Specialist, and content author. His primary focus is on Ansible Automation, Containerization (OpenShift & Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
This is a very basic article to share the cv11 installation. If any corrections/mistakes, please feel free to feedback as I am not an expert on this item.
Once you have installation package on server, unzip and find the setup file.
