Rebooting Commserve while backups running
I haven't taken anything down yet, just planning it
I know the Commserve is critical, I just thought there would be a yes/no answer. Will it or won't it require a restart of running jobs?
The people in this forum are generally knowledgeable so I thought I would ask here.
I have to do power maintenance on the data center that houses the Commserve. So it will be offline for up to 3 hours. I just need to plan around that. Longterm we should look into a DR solution for a failover Commserve.

Martin,
No offense but you're not going to get a better answer than that - and if this *that* critical then you should be calling the commvault line now as U.S. support will be just coming online.
You've taken down the CommServe which houses the critical components - Job Manager, CommServe DB *and* MediaManager which the MA itself relies on to report back to, not to mention EvMgrS (event manager server).
The CommServe is not just a DB. It's also a critical piece of software.
The better question is .. what happened to the CS?

I don't mind resuming them, but killing/restarting them would be a major problem as they would run beyond our backup window.Anyone got a definitive answer?

Yes - the sql database that also records afile information and also orchestrates backups so they won't be happy
Most likely yes those jobs will go into a pending state of sorts given there's no Job Manager module online (on the CS) and when you bring your CS back up, you'll have to either resume and let them complete or kill them completely and start a fresh backup...

while backups are running, will they continue to run? Or will they suspend? Or will they die?!
It will be down for several hours and I have some long running backups that will have started before the downtime. I would hope they will continue to run?
The Commserve is not an MA, it just hosts the SQL DB.
