# Adding a Service CommCell

You can add a Service CommCell to the Global CommCell to establish communication between them.

### Before you begin

- You must have the administrative management permission at the CommCell level.

- You must be a member of the master user group on the Service CommCell you are adding to the Global CommCell.

- Verify that the computers associated with both the Global CommCell and the Service CommCell have a valid CA-signed certificate.

  For instructions, see Creating a CA-Signed Certificate for the Tomcat Server.

- Use an account that can complete the registration without an MFA interruption. MFA and advanced login flows might not be available during the registration handshake.

- Verify that the Global Web Server can open the Service CommCell Command Center URL in a browser.

### Start the Configuration Wizard

1. Log on to the Command Center associated with the Global CommCell.

2. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Service CommCells.

   The Service CommCells page appears.

3. Click Add.

   The Service CommCell page of the Add Service CommCell wizard appears.

### Add a Service CommCell

1. In the Service CommCell Command Center URL box, enter the Command Center URL for the Service CommCell environment.

2. In the CommCell display name box, enter a display name for the Service CommCell.

   Tip

   The display name appears in the Service CommCell list at the top of the Commvault Console page.

## Set Up Authentication

1. To authenticate using SAML, do the following:

   1. Move the Login using command center toggle key to the right.

   2. In the Username box, enter your SAML username.

2. If the Login using command center option is not enabled, in the Username and Password boxes, enter the Service CommCell user credentials.

3. Click Add.

4. If you registered using SAML, a new browser window opens and redirects you to the Identity Provider (IdP). Log on using your SAML account credentials.

### Results

The Service CommCell list appears at the top of the Commvault Console page. You can switch between the Command Center pages of the Global CommCell and Service CommCells from the Service CommCell list.

From the Service CommCell list, you can switch between Service CommCells identified by the icon or the Commvault Console identified by the icon.

To give additional users access to the Service CommCell from the Global Command Center, add Service CommCell associations. For more information, see Adding Service CommCell Associations.
