The Commvault Cloud Auto Recovery solution uses hypervisor and Commvault Cloud components on the primary site and on the secondary (destination) site.
The following diagram displays the Auto Recovery solution architecture.
The following components are required on the primary and secondary sites:
-
A hypervisor configuration.
-
At least one access node with the Virtual Server package installed, to control replication operations.
The access node connects to the hypervisor. The access node reads VM data from the source hypervisor and transfers it to the Backup Gateway.
-
At least one Backup Gateway to manage data movement.
The Backup Gateway performs data deduplication, compression, encryption, and other tasks. The Backup Gateway transfers data over a network (WAN) or SAN to the destination hypervisor, and writes data to the destination site.
Data is read by an access node at the destination site to create the replicated VM.
