Guided Setup for Azure Local

The Virtualization guided setup guides you through creating a backup plan, adding a hypervisor, and adding a VM group.

Before You Begin

  • Complete the Core Setup Wizard.

  • Review the information in Azure Local: System Requirements.

    The hypervisor can be an Azure Local cluster, or an Azure Local server in a cluster.

  • Identify one or more nodes on which you will install the Virtual Server Agent (VSA) to create access nodes for backup and restore operations. To discover Azure Local servers, the CommServe system must have the VSA installed.

    At least one machine must have the VSA installed. The Stack HCI does not support interactive installation. For information on how to install Commvault in silent mode, Unattended Installation.

  • To restore files and folders from a Unix virtual machine, you need a Linux access node.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, go to Guided setup.

  2. On the Protect tab, click the Virtualization tile.

  3. On the Create backup plan page, enter a name for the backup plan, then provide information about storage, retention, and backup schedules. For more information, see Creating a Backup Plan.

    If you configured a backup plan as part of the Core Setup, the wizard skips this page.

  4. Click Save.

    The Add hypervisor page appears.

  5. Provide the following information:

    1. Select vendor: Select Microsoft Azure Local.

    2. Hypervisor name: Enter a descriptive name for the hypervisor.

    3. Enter host or account information:

      • Hostname / IP address: Provide a fully qualified hostname or IP address for the hypervisor.

      • Username and Password: Enter the user credentials to provide administrative access to the hypervisor.

    4. For an Azure Local server, click Discover nodes. When the Nodes field is populated, select one or more nodes on which to install the Virtual Server Agent.

      Note

      You can continue the setup process while the VSA is being installed on Azure Local nodes, but you cannot perform backups until that installation is complete.

  6. Click Save.

  7. On the Add VM group page, type a descriptive name to identify the VM group, and then select virtual machines to be protected.

  8. Click Save.

  9. To finish, choose one of the following options:

    • Click Back up Now to perform an immediate backup of the virtual machines in the VM group (without requiring confirmation).

      The Job details page appears and displays job status information.

    • Click Do it later to go to the hypervisor page without performing a backup.

      Note

      For Azure Local, the Back up now option might not be available immediately. You can go to the hypervisor page. When VSA installation on proxies is complete, perform a backup.
