To onboard a new workload—such as Hyper-V or Microsoft 365—in Commvault, you need to configure the resources that give Commvault access to the workload.
Let's break this down
-
You can create the resources in Commvault's onboarding wizards: But it's usually simpler to create them before running the wizards, and this section walks you through that process, step-by-step.
-
You can use existing resources: For example, if you have a backup gateway in the Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Amazon Web Services region and you want to onboard another AWS workload in the same region, you can use the existing backup gateway.
-
You don't have to add backup gateways if you use only Commvault-hosted infrastructure: Commvault provisions and manages the backup gateways for you, so you don't need to maintain any additional infrastructure.
-
You can configure snap backups later: This section helps you configure the default backup type—streaming backups. After you finish onboarding a workload and confirm that streaming backups work as expected, you can change to using snapshot backups for the workload.
