Installing a Commvault Cloud Package on a Windows Server - Direct to Cloud

On a Windows 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.

  • 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.

Interactive Mode

  1. Log on to the computer as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group on that computer.

  2. Go to the location where you saved the Metallic package, and then find and double-click the WindowsSeed64.exe file.

    The Custom Package Manager dialog box appears.

  3. Extract the installation files.

    The Metallic installer automatically runs. (If the installer does not automatically run, go to the location where you extracted the files and double-click the Setup.exe file.)

  4. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

  5. If your servers use an internet proxy server to connect to Metallic, then enter HTTP proxy details in the installer screen.

  6. When prompted, enter your Metallic credentials or the authcode.

Silent Mode

  1. Log on to the computer as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group on that computer.

  2. On the command line, go to the location where you saved the Metallic package, and then type the following command:

     
    WindowsSeed64.exe /silent /install /authcode code

    where code is the authorization code that you copied when you downloaded the Metallic package.

    Note

    If your servers use an internet proxy server to connect to Metallic, then use the following command instead:

     
    WindowsSeed64.exe /silent /install /httpproxy <HTTP_Proxy_Host:Port> /authcode <Tenant_AuthCode>

    Where:

    • <HTTP_Proxy_Host:Port> is the name and port number of the HTTP proxy host

    • <Tenant_AuthCode> is the authorization code that you copied when you downloaded the Metallic package
