I look after backups using Commvault. While it isn’t my favourite backup product, it gets the job done, and does a pretty good job of it too. One big downside for me is the lack of a Linux console. Yes the GUI console application is a Java application packaged in a jar file, but unfortunately it is very Windows specific, to the point where it just doesn’t seem to work on Linux.
I have tried used JDK7 and JDK6 from Oracle, as well as OpenJDK7, and they all have the same result, you get the login screen, and not much after that, with a large stack trace on the command line, which I am not able to make much sense of (e.g. NullPointerException).
Solution: run java in wine.
Download JDK6 from Oracle. (I didn’t use 7 as it wasn’t on the list at winehq)
Grab a copy of the ‘GUI’ directory from a Commcell install on Windows.
Now install and setup wine, and a wrapper script:
