Configuring SQL Database Application Migration to an Amazon EC2 Instance

Amazon Configuration

You must have an Amazon EC2 account that contains an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

The following options are available for EC2 instance creation:

Record all of the Amazon information, for example, the user and the key pair, before you start the Commvault configuration.

Commvault Configuration

SQL database application migration uses the File System Agent to move the SQL application. You must have a storage policy configured for the default file system subclient (Subclient Properties dialog box, Storage Device tab, Storage Policy) and the SQL default subclient (Subclient Properties dialog box, Storage Device tab, Data Storage Policy). If both are administered, the software uses the file system subclient storage policy.

  1. Install the workflow engine.

  2. If you have not done so, install the SQL Agent.

    For more information, see Getting Started with the SQL Server Agent.

  3. Configure an Amazon virtual client.

    You can install the Virtual Server Agent on the MediaAgent host.

    Note

    When you create the client, the Commvault software creates a client group that has the same name as the virtual client.

  4. Create a VM lifecycle policy for Amazon.

  5. Configure the firewall settings for application migration.

    For more information about configuring the firewall settings, see Application Migration Firewall.
