The Commvault Auto Recovery solution uses hypervisor and Commvault components on the primary site and on the secondary (destination) site.
The following diagram displays the Auto Recovery solution architecture.
The following components are required on the primary and secondary sites:
-
A hypervisor configuration.
-
At least one access node with the Virtual Server package installed, to control replication operations.
The access node connects to the hypervisor. The access node reads VM data from the source hypervisor and transfers it to the MediaAgent.
-
At least one MediaAgent to manage data movement.
The MediaAgent performs data deduplication, compression, encryption, and other tasks. The MediaAgent transfers data over a network (WAN) or SAN to the destination hypervisor, and writes data to the destination site.
Data is read by an access node at the destination site to create the replicated VM.
