Alibaba Cloud Connections

The CommServe host, MediaAgent, and the proxy must all be able to communicate with each other by using one of the following connections:

• ClassicLink - On premises components and the instance are within the same network. No firewall configuration is required.

• VPN - Only available if the instance is accessible through VPC. On-premises components and the instance are within the same network. No firewall configuration is required.

• If you do not use Direct Connect or VPN for communication between on-premises components and the Alibaba proxy, you can configure a firewall by using one of the following methods:

  • If you use one proxy server and one Alibaba RDS Virtualization client, then you can first configure a Commvault firewall connection between the on-premises components and the Alibaba proxy.

  • If you have multiple proxy servers or multiple Alibaba RDS Virtualization clients, then you can configure a firewall. For more information, see RDS Protection Using Native Database Utilities Firewall.
