From AWS Marketplace, you can deploy an AWS instance as a cloud access node from the Commvault Cloud Access Node BYOL. After the deployment, you can subscribe to the BYOL packages on the Amazon Marketplace.
The cloud access node can be any of the following:
-
MediaAgent with FREL (file recovery enabler for Linux)
-
Access node (that is, it has the Virtual Server package and the Cloud Apps package)
-
Media Agent, FREL, and access node
The Commvault Cloud Access Node BYOL contains all the components that are required to support Linux operations in the Commvault environment.
To review the terms and conditions agreement before subscribing, see:
Note
If your CommServe system is a more recent release of Commvault than the MediaAgent, update the MediaAgent to the same feature release after deployment.
