Use this dialog box to select nodes for an Amazon client. The Amazon client uses the selected nodes to perform backup jobs.
Any client computer that has the Virtual Server Agent installed on it can be selected as a node.
Client Name: Enter the Amazon client name that will appear in the CommCell Browser.
Regions: To restrict communication to specific regions, enter the regions as comma-separated values.
By default, the VSA proxy tries to communicate with all regions.
IAM role: Use an IAM role authentication.
Access and Secret Key: Use the Access and Secret Key authentication.
-
Access Key: Enter the Access Key ID that is associated with your Amazon EC2 account.
-
Secret Key: Enter the Secret Access Key that is associated with your Amazon EC2 account.
STS Assume Role with IAM Policy: Use the STS assume role with IAM policy authentication.
- Role ARN: Enter the STS (Amazon Resource Name) ARN from the Amazon EC2 website section on IAM roles.
Admin Account: If you already configured a virtualization client for an Admin account, you can select this option and then select the Admin account from the Admin Client list.
This option applies only in environments where data protection resources are provided by a separate Admin account. If another Amazon virtualization client is not already configured, this field does not appear.
Storage Policy: From the Storage Policy list, select a storage policy to associate with the virtualization client. The storage policy you select is also associated with the default subclient that is created automatically for the virtualization client.
Add: Click to add proxies to the Amazon client. You can add any computer as a proxy if it has Virtual Server iDataAgent installed. You must add at least one proxy to the Amazon client.
Remove: Select a proxy from the list of proxies and click this to remove the selected proxies from the virtualization client.
Clients / Client Groups: Displays the list of clients or client groups which are included as proxies in the Amazon client.
The first proxy in the list will act as a Coordinator. During the backup the coordinator communicates with available proxies and distributes the virtual machines across proxies for load balancing. It also distributes required resources (e.g. streams) amongst the proxies.
You can change the order of proxies in the list by clicking the up arrow 
or down arrow 
.
If a client group is added in the list of proxies, the first client in the client group will become the Coordinator.
