After the clients are configured to connect to the CommServe computer during the installation, you must configure the CommServe computer to recognize the client connections through the port-forwarding gateway. This configuration is necessary to enable backup and restore operations on the clients.
During the network configuration, you will set incoming connections from the client as Restricted.
Before You Begin
-
You must have set up the CommServe computer to listen for connections from the gateway. For instructions, see Setting Up Connections from the Port-Forwarding Gateway to the CommServe Computer.
-
The Commvault software must be installed on the clients.
-
Any additional destination port that you plan to specify for the clients must also be defined in the incoming port list of the CommServe computer.
