Introduction
The integration of hardware/software - hereinafter referred to as "system" - into the CIO Cockpit not only requires the registration of the systems themselves but also the configuration of the data collection. Data collection is set up centrally via the Data Collection Management (DCM).
Compatibility
Supported system versions
CommVault from version 11 SP 14 onwards are supported.
Requirements in the CIO Cockpit
To set up the data collection, the system must first be created in the CIO Cockpit (see FAQs). You can create the system either in the CIO Cockpit Web Frontend or in Data Collection Management (recommended).
