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.

Hello, excellent post. Can you share how to configure a rhel cluster with shared disk in comvault. Initially I have installed agents on both the nodes. How to create a cluster script and the content.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, I am no longer working on these technologies and not using them at personal work.
You need to refer to the official documentation or contact the vendor for that.
Thank you.
Do you know how to change the commserve? What files do i need to edit/update to change the commserve server?
Sorry, I dont remember anything related to that as I did not use this product since 2018.
