Installing Commvault Locally on Windows Computers Using the Installation Package

You can install agents and other Commvault software by using the installation package that was created from the Download Manager application.

Note

For the CommServe server installation, see Installing the CommServe Software. To install other server packages, go to Other Server Packages and select the package that you want to install.

Before You Begin

Verify that the installation package that was created from the Download Manager includes the software that you want to install. If some of the software is missing, create a new installation package and include the required software. For more information, see Downloading Software for Windows Computers Using the Download Manager.
Prepare your environment and gather the following information that you must provide during the installation:
- For MediaAgents, see Plan the MediaAgent Installation and Preinstallation Checklist for the MediaAgent on Windows.
- For agents, see Plan the Installation on Windows Computers and the preinstallation checklist for that agent.
- For tools, see "Before You Begin" in Installing Commvault Tools.
If you want to show the client certificate screen in the install wizard (by default, it is not shown), do the following:
- Open the Windows Registry Editor and go to the following directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
- Right-click SOFTWARE, click New > Key, and then name the new key GalaxyInstallerFlags.
- Right-click GalaxyInstallerFlags, and then click New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Right-click the new value, click Rename, and then type bShowClientCertificateDialog as the new value.
- Double-click the DWORD key, set the Value Data to 1, and then click OK.
- Close the Registry Editor.

Log on to the computer as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group on that computer.

Note

In a cluster environment, log on to the physical node of the cluster as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group on that computer.
Run Setup.exe from the installation package.

The installation wizard opens.
On the welcome page, select the I Agree check box and then proceed to the next page.
On the Choose the Installation Type page, click Install packages on this computer, and then proceed to the next page.

If the Install Option page is displayed, an agent or another Commvault software is already installed on the computer. To install additional software, click Add Packages.
Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

Note

If you are installing the software in a cluster environment, repeat the installation procedure for each physical node on the cluster.
To help you troubleshoot errors that occur before the installation summary page, check the %allusersprofile%\Commvault Systems\Galaxy\LogFiles\Install.log. If the error occurs after the summary page, check the installation logs in the Software_Installation_Directory\Log Files directory.

Review the following tasks that you must perform after the installation:

For MediaAgents, see Postinstallation Tasks for the MediaAgent.
For agents, see Postinstallation Tasks for Clients, and then refer to the "Getting Started" page of each agent that you installed to perform the required agent configurations.
For tools, see "What to Do Next" in Installing Commvault Tools.
