System Requirements for the Commvault OVA for VMware

  • Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for using the Commvault Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) for VMware.

  • Deploy the OVA on a Version 6.5 ESXi host or a more recent version.

  • The OVA specifies a virtual appliance with the minimum required resources:

    • 4 vCPUs

    • 16 GB of RAM

    • 100 GB thin provisioned disk

    After you deploy the OVA, you can adjust the virtual machine resources as needed to meet your backup environment needs.

  • You can deploy the OVA using VMware vCenter Server, VMware vSphere, or VMware Fusion. Based on the interface you choose, the deployment steps might differ.
