Setting Up the Commvault Network Gateway that Resides Near the Infrastructure Group

Add the placeholder client to the network gateway client group that you specified in the network topology.

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computer Groups, right-click the Network Gateway Client Group that resides near the Infrastructure Group, and then click Properties.

   The Client Computer dialog box appears.

2. On the General tab, select the placeholder client (or clients) from the All clients list, click Include >, and then click OK.

   Adding the placeholder clients to the proxy group automatically configures them as network gateway computers.

3. Specify the network port forwarder tunnel port as follows:

   1. Click the Network button, select the Configure Network Route Settings check box, and then select the Advanced option.

   2. On the Incoming Ports subtab, select the Override Default Tunnel Port check box, and then specify the network port forwarder tunnel port (default is 8403).

   3. Click OK.

4. Push the network configuration on the Infrastructure Group that contains the CommServe and the Internal MediaAgents. For example:

   1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe, and then click All Tasks > Push Network Configuration.

   2. When the Warning dialog box appears, click Continue.

      A notification appears indicating that the push network operation was successful. Click OK to close the notification.

   You are now ready to install the Commvault network gateway.

Configure the network settings on the placeholder client as follows:

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers, right-click the new client_name, and then click Properties.

   The Client Computer Properties dialog box appears.

2. Click Network.

   The Network Properties for Client dialog box appears.

3. On the Network Route Configuration tab, select the Configure Network Route Settings check box.

4. Click Advanced, read the warning, and then click OK.

5. Configure the proxy as follows to allow the CommServe to initiate a connection to it:

   1. Click Add.

   2. In the From list, select the CommServe name.

   3. In the State list, select RESTRICTED.

   4. Click OK.

   For information about the RESTRICTED setting, see Restricting or Blocking Connections.

6. If a MediaAgent is behind the Commvault network, configure it as follows:

   1. Click Add.

   2. In the From list, select the MediaAgent name.

   3. In the State list, select RESTRICTED.

   For information about the RESTRICTED setting, see Restricting or Blocking Connections.

7. On the Incoming Ports tab, in the Override default tunnel port box, set the incoming port number on which the Commvault proxy will listen for a connection request from the CommServe host, and then write it down so that you have it during the Commvault proxy installation.

   The default tunnel port is the Commvault Communications (CVD) service port plus 3 (for example, 8403).

8. On the Options tab, select the This computer is in DMZ and will work as a proxy check box, and then click OK twice.

   The placeholder client is now configured. The rest of the steps will configure the CommServe computer.
