Getting Started with VirtualizeMe for Windows and UNIX File Systems

Verify that your environment meets the system requirements to perform VirtualizeMe for Windows and UNIX file systems with Commvault, and then complete necessary setup in the Commvault software.

Before You Begin

  • If your network has firewall topology configured, then create a server group with the network settings required for 1-Touch operations. For more information, see Network Topology.

  • If filters are added to the subclient configuration and they filter out operating system components, then the restored machine may encounter operating system issues.

  • You cannot perform VirtualizeMe operations on synthetic full backups on Linux subclients.

Procedure

  1. Enable the following entity association a user or user group needs to perform VirtualizeMe operations.

    Task

    Permission

    Associated CommCell Entities

    Perform a VirtualizeMe operation

    Administrative management

    Browse

    End User Access

    Out-of-place

    Recover

    In Place Recover

    Install Package/Update or Install Client

    Agent Management

    Overwrite on Restore

    Change security settings

    Note: To perform job operations such as kill, suspend, or resume, the user must have Job Management capabilities at the CommCell level, as VirtualizeMe (vME) jobs are treated as administrative-level operations.

    Clients and Client Computer Groups where you installed the Windows or Linux File System Agent.

  2. Verify that your environment meets the system requirements.

    1. Windows

    2. UNIX/Linux

  3. Install the File System package on the client.

  4. Verify that system state backup or 1-Touch recovery is enabled for the default Windows or Linux subclients respectively and that the subclient backup content is defined as All or /.

    To exclude contents, use global or subclient filters.

    In case system state backup or 1-Touch recovery is currently disabled for your default subclient, see Configuring System State and 1-Touch Backups for Subclients.

  5. To transform your computer into a VMware hypervisor and restore data using VirtualizeMe, download the ISO file for 1-Touch.

  6. Create a provisioning target.

  7. Restore data using VirtualizeMe
