Arlie guides you through onboarding supported workloads and services for data protection in the Command Center. In Agent mode, Arlie guides you through the appropriate Service Catalog workflow, explains configuration options, and completes supported actions.
Arlie AI Assistant provides two interaction modes:
-
Ask: Ask questions about Commvault features, configuration, and documentation. Arlie provides explanations and links to relevant documentation.
-
Agent: Onboard supported workloads and services with guided, step-by-step assistance.
Prerequisites
-
You must have permission to onboard the workload or service that you want to configure.

In the Command Center, click Arlie AI assistant

If your request matches multiple onboarding workflows, provide the additional information that Arlie requests.
The agent might present quick-reply options or prompt you to enter information to identify the appropriate workflow.
-
Review the onboarding task, and then allow Arlie to open the appropriate Service Catalog wizard.
The agent guides you through the wizard until the onboarding workflow is complete.
How Arlie guides you
During the onboarding workflow, the agent:
-
Organizes each wizard page into a task and each field or action into individual steps.
-
Highlights the field that requires your attention.
-
Explains configuration options using Commvault terminology.
-
Completes supported actions, such as navigating through the workflow and selecting appropriate default options.
-
Prompts you for input when environment-specific information or configuration decisions are required.
-
Tracks your progress through the onboarding workflow.
When Arlie requests information or an action, complete the requested step in the wizard, and then click Done to continue.
Pause or stop a workflow
You can pause or stop a guided onboarding workflow at any time.
-
Pause: Pauses the current workflow. To continue, return to the same onboarding page and resume the workflow. If you navigate to a different workflow, the agent can't automatically resume the previous session.
-
Stop: Ends the current workflow. To continue onboarding, start a new session.
If Arlie needs your attention
If Arlie can't continue the onboarding workflow, it identifies the issue and prompts you to take the required action.
For example, Arlie can:
-
Ask you to correct validation errors.
-
Refresh the guided steps when the wizard changes based on your selections.
-
Explain why the workflow can't continue if the onboarding wizard closes unexpectedly or a required subscription isn't available.
After you resolve the issue, continue the workflow. If the workflow can't be resumed, start a new onboarding session.
