CommVault Simpana - Upgrading from Version 7 to Version 8

Abstract

Symantec Corporation commissioned Tolly to evaluate the data protection performance of Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 & Symantec Veritas NetBackup 6.5.3 and compare them with the CommVault Simpana solution.

Testing commenced using CommVault Simpana 7 which was the "then current" version of the product. While testing was in progress, Version 8 was released. It was decided to upgrade the environment to Simpana 8 to conduct the production testing. (Reports on that testing are also found on tolly.com.)

This report describes the problems encountered when attempting to migrate to a newer version.
