Applies to: Azure database for MySQL, Azure database for PostgreSQL
The following CommCell Console client computers are required:
-
A MediaAgent
-
A proxy server that facilitates the backup and restore operations
-
An Azure virtualization client
MediaAgents
You can install the MediaAgent on the same machine as the CommServe system or on a separate machine.
Proxy Server
The proxy server represents the Linux client that is located in the Azure cloud that has the database application library files. The proxy client has the following components installed:
-
An Azure VM on a Linux platform.
-
The Commvault Virtualization Agent.
-
The Commvault database agent. You need to install the database software for each database type that the proxy server interfaces with.
-
The MySQL Agent. The MySQL Agent also includes the File System core package.
For information about the MySQL system requirements, see System Requirements.
-
The PostgreSQL Agent. The PostgreSQL Agent also includes the File System core package.
For information about the PostgreSQL system requirements, see System Requirements - PostgreSQL iDataAgent.
-
-
The database application software. The database version must be the same version as the Azure database instance version.
Azure Virtualization Client
The Azure Virtualization client is the client that you use to initiate backup operations and restore operations.
The virtualization client also includes the database agent such as MySQL.
When you add the database agent, the software creates CommCell Console database instances that correspond to the Azure database instances.
After you create and configure this client, you can perform all backup operations and restore operations from this client.
You can configure a Linux proxy client that resides in the Azure cloud. The proxy server includes the following Commvault software packages:
-
The UNIX File System Agent
-
The Virtualization Agent and the Linux proxy options
-
The Database Agent software for each database type
The solution also requires a connection so that the CommServe computer and MediaAgent can communicate with the proxy server.
