Add MediaAgent to An Existing Global Deduplication Storage Policy Workflow

The Add MediaAgent to Global Dedup Storage Policy workflow is a pre-defined workflow which allows you to add a UNIX MediaAgent library to an existing global deduplication storage policy setup with all UNIX MediaAgents.

This workflow requires a onetime configuration. The other MediaAgents configured in the Global deduplication storage policy setup will have the read only rights on the new library that will be configured on the UNIX MediaAgent.

Download this workflow from the Commvault Store. See Download Workflows from Commvault Store.

Before You Begin

Ensure The following:

• You have the latest Service Pack installed on the CommServe and the MediaAgent.

• You have configured a UNIX MediaAgent whose path will be configured and added as a library.

• The Global Deduplication Storage Policy is configured.

• The E-Mail server is configured from the Control Panel to send alerts, log files, and reports as e-mail messages from the CommCell Console. For more information, see E-Mail Server Configuration.

• Download and deploy the latest version of the AddMediaAgentToGlobalDedupStoragePolicy workflow from the Commvault Store.

Procedure

1. Open your web browser and type the Web Console URL provided by the administrator in the address bar.

   The URL should be in the following format: http://<HostName>:<Port>/webconsole, for example: http://client.mydomain.com/webconsole.

   Notes:

   • If port 80 is used, then you do not need to specify it in the URL.

   • By default, the Web Console URL uses HTTP. You can also use HTTPS if you want to use secure access. To set up secure access, see Configure SSL on the Tomcat Server.
