Installing the Web Console
By default, the Web Console is installed as part of the CommServe installation when IIS is enabled on the computer.
If you did not install the Web Console during the CommServe installation, or if you want to install additional consoles on other computers, you can do so by using the CommCell Console or the installation package that was created from the Download Manager application.
Note: The Admin Console is included with the Web Console package. To learn more about the solutions available in the Admin Console, visit the Commvault Solutions for Data Protection and Recovery website.
Before You Begin
Prepare your environment by reviewing the following tasks:
- Review Commvault requirements and gather the information that you must provide during the installation. For more information, see Preinstallation Checklist for the Web Console.
Important: The Web Console requires a Web Server. If not installed, you can install the Web Server on the same computer as the Web Console, or on a different computer.
- If you want to install the software in a different language, you can configure the installation program to list the supported language options. For more information, see Changing the Display Language of the Commvault Software on Windows Computers.
Choose the Installation Method
Use one of the following methods to install the software:
- Remote installations, where you use the CommCell Console to install the software remotely on one or more computers.
For instructions, see Installing Commvault Remotely Using the CommCell Console.
- Local installations, where you use the installation package to install the software locally on a computer.
For instructions, see Installing Commvault Locally on Windows Computers Using the Installation Package.
What to Do Next
Review the postinstallation tasks that you might have to perform to complete the installation:
- Add Commvault to the Windows Firewall Exclusion List
If you did not add the Commvault programs and services to the Windows Firewall exclusion list during the installation, you can add them later by using a batch file. For more information, see Configuring Windows Firewall to Allow CommCell Communication.
- Complete Firewall Configurations
If you configured firewall settings during the installation, you must complete additional firewall configurations from the CommCell Console. For more information, see Firewall: Overview.
- Add Commvault to the Windows Firewall Exclusion List
- If you want to set up web access for end-users, refer to Post-Installation Configurations for Web Server and Web Console to enable operations from the Web Console.
