Deploying a CentOS or RHEL Machine as a VSA Proxy

You can deploy a Linux machine that runs on CentOS or RHEL to act as a VSA proxy.

Before You Begin

To deploy a Linux machine as a VSA proxy, the machine must run one of the following operating system versions:
- CentOS 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9
- RHEL 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9
  
  Note
  
  To use a machine that runs RHEL 7.7 as a VSA proxy, you must install the pcre-devel-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 package.
To add the Mono repository to your system, execute the commands in a root shell.
More recent versions of Mono are not supported.

Import the public key that is used to verify the Mono package to install:

sudo rpm --import "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF"

Add and enable a new yum repository from the specified URL:

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/

Install Mono 5.16:

sudo yum -y install mono-complete-5.16.0.220-0.xamarin.4.epel7

Remove the Mono repository:

sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/download.mono-project.com_repo_centos_.repo

Install the fuse-libs package:
```
sudo yum install fuse-libs
```
Install the Virtual Server Agent package on the Linux machine.
Optional: To support live browse operations, or to use the Linux machine as a File Recovery Enabler for Linux (FREL), install the MediaAgent package on the Linux machine.
Perform a remote install of all currently available Commvault service pack hot fixes on the Linux machine.
