When you create a server to client one-way network topology before you have clients, you must create a placeholder client and push the network configuration before you install the Commvault software on the placeholder client.
Before You Begin
Procedure
-
Create a placeholder for the client that will receive connections from the CommServe computer:
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers, and then click New Client > File System > [Windows or Unix].
-
In the New Windows Client window, enter a Client Name and Host Name of the server/client that you are going to install. These details will also be used during your server/client installation.
-
Click Next.
-
Confirm the information shown under Summary, and then click Finish.
-
-
Add the placeholder client to the DMZ client group that you specified in the network topology by performing the following:
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computer Groups, right-click the DMZ_client_group, and then click Properties.
-
In the properties dialog box, select the placeholder client from the All clients list, click Include >, and then click OK.
-
-
Push the network configuration on the trusted client group, the placeholder client, the CommServe computer, and the MediaAgent computer. For example:
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computer Groups, right-click the DMZ_client_group, and then click All Tasks > Push Network Configuration.
-
When the Warning dialog box appears, click Continue.
A notification appears indicating that the push network operation was successful.
-
What to Do Next
-
Install the Commvault software on the placeholder client.
For network instructions during the installation, see Setting Up Direct Connections from the CommServe Computer to the Client.
-
From the CommCell Browser, right-click the network topology that you configured, click Push Network Configurations, and then click OK.
