Deploying a MediaAgent on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Create a MediaAgent on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) before you configure OCI protection if you use your own infrastructure. Use vendor native deployment when possible.

Requirements

• Verify that you have permission to deploy resources in the OCI tenancy and region where you want to create the MediaAgent.

• For vendor native deployment, verify that you can access the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

• For manual deployment, have an installation authcode available.

Add MediaAgent

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Infrastructure.

2. Click the MediaAgents tile.

3. In the upper-right area of the page, click Add MediaAgent.

4. From the Vendor list, select Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

5. Use one of the following deployment methods.

   Vendor native deployment — recommended

   1. From the Deployment type list, select Vendor native deployment.

   2. From the Platform list, select the operating system.

   3. From the Region list, select the OCI region where you want to deploy the MediaAgent.

   4. Under Launch Terraform Template, click ORACLE CLOUD RESOURCE STACK to open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. Alternatively, click Copy link, and then paste the URL into a browser.

   5. In the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, complete the resource stack deployment.

   Manual deployment — least preferred

   Use manual deployment only when your organization does not permit vendor native deployment.
