Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Editions
-
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Editions
-
Oracle Linux 6.x, 7.x, 8
-
RHEL 6.x, 7.x
-
CentOS 6.x, 7.x
For Linux proxies, disable lvmetad to avoid issues with HotAdd operations during backup and recovery.
Note
-
Both Windows and UNIX proxies must be based on OVM domain type Xen HVM PV drivers.
-
Windows proxy machines should be installed with Oracle VM Windows PV drivers version 2.3.2 or later.
User Accounts
The user account that is used for backups and restores must have administrative privileges for Oracle VM Manager, including the OVM Clone Operation privilege.
Port Requirements
-
In Oracle VM environments with firewalls, the VSA proxy must be able to communicate with Commvault entities such as the CommServe system and MediaAgents.
-
Ensure that CVD port 8400 on the VSA proxy is configured to accept incoming traffic from Commvault entities.
-
Port 7002 must be open for TCP communication between the VSA proxy and Oracle VM Manager.
