From the AWS Marketplace, you can deploy an AWS instance as a cloud access node from the Commvault Cloud Access Node BYOL, which contains all the components that are required to support Linux operations in the Commvault environment.
Considerations
-
The cloud access node can be any of the following:
-
MediaAgent with FREL (file recovery enabler for Linux)
-
Access node (that is, it has the Virtual Server package and the Cloud Apps package)
-
Media Agent, FREL, and access node
-
-
After the deployment, you can subscribe to the BYOL packages on the AWS Marketplace. To review the terms and conditions agreement before subscribing, see:
-
When you launch the AWS instance, you must provide a key pair that can be used. You can use an existing key pair or create a new key pair as part of the deployment.
Procedure
-
From the AWS EC2 Console, go to Instances, and then click Launch Instance.
AWS opens a wizard to guide you through the deployment.
-
Search for "Commvault".
-
Display the search results for AWS Marketplace.
-
Select Commvault Cloud Access Node BYOL.
-
Select an instance type.
-
Identify a network and subnet that are available for the deployment.
-
If necessary, add additional storage.
By default, the Commvault Cloud Access Node BYOL provides 100 GB of storage.
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Servers.
The Servers page appears.
-
Click Add server.
The Add servers dialog box appears.
-
Select Complete the installation if software packages are already installed on your computer.
-
In Host name, enter the IPv4 address of the AWS instance.
The IPv4 address must be reachable by the CommServe server in one of the following ways:
- Port 8403 (default)
- A network topology
-
In Server name, enter the server name.
-
Click Install.
-
On the Linux machine, perform a remote install of all currently available Commvault feature release maintenance releases.
-
If your CommServe system is a more recent release of Commvault than the MediaAgent, update the MediaAgent to the same feature release.
