Installing a Commvault Cloud Package on a UNIX or Linux Server - Via Commvault Cloud Backup Gateway

On a UNIX or Linux server, you can install the Commvault Cloud package (via backup gateway) using either the interactive mode or the silent mode.

This means that the package will be installed in the data source and will use the Commvault Cloud backup gateway to perform backup and restore operations (that is, the Commvault Cloud package installed in the data source will not need direct access to cloud storage like Air Gap Protect, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon S3).

Use this installation method when you want to back up your data via the Metalic backup gateway with network gateway role enabled. If there is no such backup gateway server with network role enabled, then you can enable a network gateway role for an existing backup gateway server (for more information, see Enabling Network Gateway Role for an Existing Server).

Before You Begin

• Download the Commvault Cloud package from the Commvault Cloud Service Catalog. When you configure a new application and select a direct to cloud installation, the download link is available.

  Tip

  Copy the URL for the package, and then use wget to download the Commvault Cloud package to your server.

• Copy the authcode when you download the Commvault Cloud package if the following applies to you:

  • You want to install the Commvault Cloud package using the silent mode.

  • You want authenticate with the server using an authcode instead of your Commvault Cloud credentials.

• Go to the location where you saved the Commvault Cloud package, and extract the installation files using the "GNU" TAR utility.

  The name of the file depends on the platform. For example, if you download the Commvault Cloud package for AIX, the file name is AixSeed64.tar.

• If you want to install the Commvault Cloud package using a sudo user, add a sudo user with root privileges.

Interactive Mode

1. Log on to the computer as root or as a sudo user with root privileges.

2. On the command line, go to the location where you extracted the Commvault Cloud package, and then type one of the following commands:

   • If you logged on as root, type:

     ./cvpkgadd
     

   • If you logged on as a sudo user, type:

     sudo ./cvpkgadd
     

3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

4. In the installer screen, enter the backup gateway host name and tunnel port (in the format hostname:tunnelport) of the backup gateway server that has the network gateway role enabled. The default tunnel port is 8403.

5. When prompted, enter your Commvault Cloud credentials or the authcode.

Silent Mode

1. Log on to the computer as root or as a sudo user with root privileges.

2. On the command line, go to the location where you extracted the Commvault Cloud package, and then type one of the following commands:

   • If you logged on as root, type:

      
     ./silent_install -authcode Tenant_AuthCode -gateway Gateway_IP

     where:

     • <Tenant_AuthCode> is the authorization code that you copied when you downloaded the Commvault Cloud package

     • <Gateway_IP> is the IP address of the backup gateway

   • If you logged on as a sudo user, type:

      
     sudo ./silent_install -authcode code

   where code is the authorization code that you copied when you downloaded the Commvault Cloud package.
