Getting Started with Snapshot Backups Using Microsoft Azure Snap

Step 1: Configure a Microsoft Azure VM

Open ports 443 and 8400 for the Commvault process.

For more information, go to the Microsoft Azure Documentation site.

Only managed disks are supported for the virtual machines.
Complete the Azure Snap configuration. For more information, see IntelliSnap with Microsoft Azure Snap Configuration.
If you need to restrict access to the VMs, see Adding a Customized Role to Restrict Access for Microsoft Azure VMs.

Step 2: Configure Azure Endpoints

To support backups and restores that are not available through the Azure global endpoint, create the AzureRegion additional setting on the MediaAgent and specify the additional endpoints as values.

For instructions on adding additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Add or Modify an Additional Setting.

Property	Value
Name	AzureRegion
Category	MediaAgent
Type	String
Value	China, usgov, Germany

Note

This additional setting can be configured for these regions only: China, usgov, and Germany.

Step 3: Create a Client to Install the Agent

Create a client that represents the Microsoft Azure VM, and then push-install the agent software on the client. For more information, see Creating a Client to Install the Agent.

Step 4: What to Do Next
