Installing a Commvault Cloud Package on a UNIX or Linux Server

On a UNIX or Linux server, you can install the Metallic package (direct to cloud) using either the interactive mode or the silent mode.

Use this installation method when you want to back up your data directly to the cloud. This means that the package will be installed in the data source that backs up the data directly to cloud storage (for example, Air Gap Protect, MS Azure, or Amazon S3).

Before You Begin

Download the Metallic package from the Metallic Service Catalog. When you configure a new application and select a direct to cloud installation, the download link is available.

Tip

Copy the URL for the package, and then use wget to download the Metallic package to your server.
Copy the authcode when you download the Metallic package if the following applies to you:
- You want to install the Metallic package using the silent mode.
- You want authenticate with the server using an authcode instead of your Metallic credentials.
Go to the location where you saved the Metallic package, and extract the installation files using the "GNU" TAR utility.

The name of the file depends on the platform. For example, if you download the Metallic package for AIX, the file name is AixSeed64.tar.
If you want to install the Metallic package using a sudo user, add a sudo user with root privileges.

Interactive Mode

Log on to the computer as root or as a sudo user with root privileges.
On the command line, go to the location where you extracted the Metallic package, and then type one of the following commands:
- If you logged on as root, type:
```
./cvpkgadd
```
  Note: If your servers use an internet proxy server, use the following command instead:
```
 
./cvpkgadd -httpproxyhost XXX.XX.XX.XXX -httpproxyport YYYY
```
  where:
  - XXX.XX.XX.XXX is the IP address of the proxy server
  - YYYY is the port number of the proxy server
- If you logged on as a sudo user, type:
```
sudo ./cvpkgadd
```
Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
When prompted, enter your Metallic credentials or the authcode.

Silent Mode

Log on to the computer as root or as a sudo user with root privileges.
On the command line, go to the location where you extracted the Metallic package, and then type one of the following commands:
- If you logged on as root, type:
```
 
./silent_install -authcode code
```
  Note: If your servers use an internet proxy server, use the following command instead:
```
 
./silent_install -authcode -httpproxyhost XXX.XX.XX.XXX -httpproxyport YYYY
```
  where:
  - XXX.XX.XX.XXX is the IP address of the proxy server
  - YYYY is the port of the proxy server
- If you logged on as a sudo user, type:
```
 
sudo ./silent_install -authcode code
```
where code is the authorization code that you copied when you downloaded the Metallic package.
