Managed Service Provider Configuration for Amazon

For Commvault-hosted infrastructure, MSPs can simplify infrastructure management using resource pools—predefined configurations of storage and access nodes—for efficient scaling, consistent performance, and streamlined administration.

Virtualization

Create an Amazon resource pool.
Create a storage resource pool.
Configure an access node.
- Linux access node
- Windows access node
Create a new IAM policy using the JSON editor, and paste msp_iam_policies_for_hosted_infrastructure.json content in the editor.
Create a new AWS role and assign the following IAM policies along with the new policy to the new role:
- AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore
- AmazonSSMPatchAssociation
Configure the AwsExpressConfigHostedInfrastructureRoleArn setting using the role ARN of the new AWS role.
1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > System.
2. Click the Settings tile.
3. In the upper-right area of the page, click Add > CommCell settings.
  
  The Add CommCell settings page appears.
4. In the Name box, enter "AwsExpressConfigHostedInfrastructureRoleArn", and then select the setting with "AWS Hosted Infrastructure Role ARN" label.
5. For Value, enter the role ARN of the new role created or leave empty string.
6. In the Comment box, enter a comment for the setting.
This setting defines the IAM role used by the backup infrastructure in the target AWS account to perform operations like backups and restores. With hosted infrastructure, the role created in the target account includes a trust policy that allows sts:AssumeRole from the hosted infrastructure role.
