Hi

 

When adding a new Cloud Storage, metallic keeps asking me for a Media Agent. I have 2 cloud storage already configured in different AZURE regions (EastUS and WestUS), and i need to create a new one in UK.

We are sending backups directly to Storage Accounts in azure, with out mediaagents o gateway servers.

@miguellopezjsh so I assume you are referring to the storage accelerator fracture → https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/96835_accelerating_backups_to_cloud_storage_libraries.html

well even in that case it requires you to specify a MA because it will hold/run the DDB and the clients who will write the unique data directly into the cloud library will still lookup the DDB for hashes.

I was wondering the same. Just want to add some cloud storage, but Metallic is requesting a Media Agent? Hmm.
