# Deploying Commvault (Windows/Linux BYOL) from the AWS Marketplace

From the AWS Marketplace, you can deploy Commvault Cloud on (Windows/Linux) BYOL, which provisions an Amazon EC2 instance that includes the All-In-One Commvault software along with the required Windows or Linux operating system.

## Prerequisites

You can access the AWS Marketplace Images here:

- Commvault Cloud on Linux BYOL

- Commvault Cloud on Windows BYOL

Important

All images are CIS Level 1 hardened. For additional information, see Certifications and Compliance.

## Considerations

- To determine the requirements for the AWS Windows instance where the AMI will be deployed, see Support and Requirements for Protecting Amazon EC2 Instances and Amazon VPC Resources.

- When you launch the AWS instance, you must provide a key pair. You can use an existing key pair or create a new key pair as part of the deployment.

## Procedure

1. In the Amazon EC2 console, go to Instances, and then click Launch instances.

   A setup wizard appears to guide you through the deployment.

2. Under Application and OS Images (Amazon Machine Image), search for Commvault.

3. Select Commvault Cloud on Windows/Linux BYOL.

4. Select an instance type suitable for your environment.

5. Identify a network and subnet that are available for the deployment.

6. (Optional) Add additional storage if needed.

   By default, the AMI includes the following storage configuration:

   Disk | Size | Purpose
   --- | --- | ---
   OS disk | 200 GB | OS software and Commvault installation binaries
   DataDisk1 | 350 GB | IndexCache and Deduplication, Job Results, Library Storage, SW cache, DM2cache, registry
   DataDisk2 | 55 GB | CommServe database

7. When you launch the instance, provide a key pair.

   Note

   You can use an existing key pair or create a new one during deployment.

## Complete the CommServe Configuration

During deployment, a PowerShell script (for Windows) or a boot script (for Linux) runs automatically to configure the CommServe software. The process takes approximately 4–5 minutes. When the configuration is complete, the Commvault Command Center opens automatically on Windows. For Linux, open the Commvault Command Center manually to access the Create New Account dialog box.

1. Log on to the new instance.

2. For Windows, a PowerShell script automatically runs to configure the CommServe software.

3. For Linux, a boot script runs for approximately 4–5 minutes to perform the same configuration.

4. When the configuration is complete:

5. On Windows, the Commvault Command Center automatically opens.

6. On Linux, open the Command Center manually.

7. In the Create New Account dialog box, enter the email address and password for the CommServe administrator account.

8. After the account is created, you can log on to the Commvault Command Center.
