Commvault WebServer Package Install

We will install webserver package through a custom package.

I spent two days to figure out how to deploy WebServer using a Custom Package since it is not available through CommServe push install due to a SQL deployment. Anyways, there are some very relevant points that are not in the docs and I thought I would share with you.

In my case I reviewed the my SoftwareCache folder to make sure that it was properly configured.

**Clear my Software Cache and started a SP15 download from the CommCell. With that completed, download the latest hotfix pack. ** If you re sure that your cache software is healthy and complete, no need to follow this.

1- From the Windows folder on the software cache, run setup, and created a custom package for NEW INSTALLS and all packages (including SQL).

2- That done, mapped the folder to the target machine and run Setup > Selected Add Packages -> WebServer.

3- Installation begins, and after 5 mins it asks for a reboot and it says BEFORE SETUP CONTINUE.

4- Once the machine is rebooted, note that the services will continue DOWN and it has to be that way since the installation is not complete.

5- YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN THE SETUP AGAIN (from the same location as the step 1) because the Setup WONT automatically resume.

6- Execute the Setup and a box will appear saying Resume Install (Select Resume Install) or Clean Up Unfinished installation.

7- Few more minutes and it will ask for a users with CommServe Admin permissions (admin), after that installation should go through and complete bringing all the services up again with no more restarts.
