Deploying Commvault (Windows/Linux BYOL) from the Azure Marketplace

From the Azure Marketplace, you can deploy Commvault Cloud on (Windows/Linux) BYOL, which provisions an Azure instance that includes the All-In-One Commvault Cloud software along with the required Windows or Linux operating system.

You can access the Azure Marketplace Images here:

Important

All images are CIS Level 1 hardened. For additional information, see Certifications and Compliance.

Considerations

  • To determine the requirements for the Azure Windows instance where the AMI will be deployed, see System Requirements for Azure.

  • When you launch the Azure instance, you must provide a key pair. You can use an existing key pair or create a new key pair as part of the deployment.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and select Commvault on Linux BYOL or Commvault Backup & Recovery BYOL.

  2. Follow the common Azure VM deployment steps.

    The new VM will be listed as recently added in Azure Portal.

  3. (Optional) Add additional storage if needed.

    By default, the AMI includes the following storage configuration:

    Disk Size Purpose
    OS disk 100 GB OS software and Commvault installation binaries
    DataDisk1 60 GB Commvault software
    DataDisk2 40 GB CommServe database
    DataDisk3 50 GB IndexCache and Deduplication
    DataDisk4 50 GB Deduplication
    DataDisk5 100 GB Job Results
    DataDisk6 1024 GB Library Storage
  4. When you launch the instance, provide a key pair.

    Note

    You can use an existing key pair or create a new one during deployment.

Complete the CommServe Configuration

During deployment, a PowerShell script (for Windows) or a boot script (for Linux) runs automatically to configure the CommServe software. The process takes approximately 4–5 minutes. When the configuration is complete, the Commvault Cloud Command Center opens automatically on Windows. For Linux, open the Commvault Cloud Command Center manually to access the Create New Account dialog box.

  1. Log on to the new instance.

  2. For Windows, a PowerShell script automatically runs to configure the CommServe software.

  3. For Linux, a boot script runs for approximately 4–5 minutes to perform the same configuration.

  4. When the configuration is complete:

  5. On Windows, the Commvault Command Center automatically opens.

  6. On Linux, open the Command Center manually.

  7. In the Create New Account dialog box, enter the email address and password for the CommServe administrator account.

  8. After the account is created, you can log on to the Commvault Command Center.
