You can deploy a Linux machine that runs on CentOS, Oracle Linux, or RHEL to act as a VSA proxy.
Note
After you install the Virtual Server Agent on a Linux machine, verify that there is an internet connection to the Linux machine and start Commvault services. The software then verifies whether Mono is installed, and if needed, installs the required version of the Mono package. You do not need to install the Mono package manually.
Considerations
-
To deploy a Linux machine as a VSA proxy, the machine must run one of the following operating system versions:
-
CentOS 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, or 7.9
-
Oracle Linux 8.x, or 9.x
-
RHEL 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.x, or 9.x
Note
-
For RHEL/OEL 9.0 and 9.1 VSA access nodes, if the the libssl.so.3 and libcrypto.so.3 VDDK 8.0.1 load fails, upgrade openssl-libs to the latest version to use VDDK 8.0.1. Upgrading will protect the VMware workloads.
-
To use a machine that runs RHEL 7.7 as a VSA proxy, you must install the pcre-devel-8.32-17.el7.x86_64 package.
-
For a machine that runs RHEL 8.x or 9.x, to install operating system packages that are required to enable automatic installation of Mono, register the machine with Red Hat.
- Rocky Linux 8.x or 9.x
-
Mono version 6.8 is automatically installed. However, you can manually install any Mono version up to 6.12. To install Mono package manually, ensure that you stop the Commvault services and start the services after installation is complete. More recent versions of Mono are not supported.
