Deploying a Commvault MediaAgent (Windows/Linux BYOL) from the AWS Marketplace

From the AWS Marketplace, you can deploy an AWS instance as a Commvault (Windows/Linux) MediaAgent using the Commvault Media Agent Windows BYOL listing and select a Windows image. After deployment, you can subscribe to the BYOL packages directly from the AWS Marketplace. The Commvault Media Agent (Amazon Linux x86) BYOL image includes all components required to support operations in a Commvault environment.

For more information about deploying and managing MediaAgents in AWS, see Configuring an Access Node for Amazon EC2.

Prerequisites

You can access the AWS Marketplace Images here:

Important

Starting with version 42.40, access node images and Media Agent images are CIS Level 1 hardened. For information, see Certifications and Compliance.

Considerations

  • If your CommServe system is a more recent release of Commvault than the MediaAgent, update the MediaAgent to the same feature release after deployment.

  • Obtain the host name or IP address of the CommServe host. You will enter the host name/IP address during the procedure.

  • When you launch the instance, you must provide a key pair. You can use an existing key pair or create a new key pair as part of the deployment.
