Adding a MongoDB Cluster

You can add a MongoDB cluster.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Big data.

    The Big data page appears.

  2. Click Add cluster.

    The Configure Big Data App page appears.

  3. Select MongoDB, and then click NEXT.

    The Configure MongoDB Cluster page appears.

  4. Select an existing plan or create a new plan.

  5. Click NEXT

    The Add MongoDB Cluster page appears.

  6. In the Cluster name box, enter a name for the cluster.

  7. From the Master node list, select the master node.

    Note

    If the master node for an instance is not available due to a network failure or any other reason and a backup is in progress, then the Commvault software picks another node as master node from the replica set for backup operation. This is applicable only for the replica set environments.

  8. In the Binary path box, enter the path to the folder that contains the mongod or mongos executable file.

    The Commvault software uses mongo/mongosh, mongod, mongodump, and mongorestore for backup and restore operations. Keep the binaries in bin path and verify that the bin path is same across all the nodes in the cluster.

  9. In the OS user name box, enter the OS user name that you want to use to run the MongoDB servers.

    Commvault software uses the OS user name to start the MongoDB servers after the restore operation.

    Note

    The OS user must have the permission to start the server and have ownership of the files in dbPath.

  10. In Port number box, enter the mongod or mongos port number.

  11. Click NEXT.

    The Database Authentication page appears.

  12. In the DB user name box, enter the database user name.

  13. In the DB password box, enter the password.

  14. Click NEXT.

    The Summary page appears, where you can see the MongoDB cluster configuration details.

  15. Click FINISH.
