Verify that your environment meets the requirements for protecting Azure Stack Hub VMs with Commvault.
Azure Stack Hub Version
Azure Stack Hub 2002 and more recent versions are supported.
Note
To protect Azure Stack Hub virtual machines, you must upgrade your CommCell environment to Commvault version 11.20 or a more recent release, and you must upgrade all of your Azure Stack Hub virtual machines to Azure Stack Hub 2002 or a more recent release. Using previous versions of Azure Stack Hub with previous versions of the Commvault software is possible. However, with those previous versions, a known Microsoft issue with snapshots of unmanaged VMs can cause data corruption. To avoid data corruption, you must upgrade both your CommCell environment and your Azure Stack Hub environment.
Access Nodes
You must have at least 1 access node for Azure Stack Hub.
For best results, deploy access nodes on virtual machines in the Azure Stack Hub cloud. For faster backups, deploy access nodes on an Azure Stack Hub VM that is compute-optimized.
If you have existing access nodes that are used to support Azure Classic or Azure Resource Manager, use different proxies for Azure Stack Hub.
