hpe vme essentials setup / setup an access node

Question

Hi, I have a hpe vme essentials cluster with 3 nodes, I trying to configure this in commvault so I can do a test backup of a vm that is running on that cluster.

we are running 11.40

I’am using following document

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/configuring_backups_for_hpe_morpheus_vm_essentials_vms.html

But I don’t understand how to create and use the access node?

I don’t have the access node tile under Manage-infrastructure to add a new one?

Hi ​@Carol GeorgeTo configure backups for your HPE Morpheus VM Essentials (VME) cluster in Commvault, you must install the access node package on a physical node of your HPE Morpheus VM Essentials cluster. Using a VM as the access node is not supported and will result in errors. Below are the recommendations,1. Install the Access Node Package on a Physical NodeDownload the Linux (64-bit) access node package from the Commvault Command Center.Extract the package on one of the physical nodes in your HPE Morpheus cluster.Install the package using the following command on the physical node:sudo ./cvpkgaddSelect the Virtual Server Agent package during installation and follow the prompts to complete the process.For full details, see the official documentation.2. Refresh and Select the Access NodeAfter installation, refresh the page in Command Center.When adding the HPE Morpheus hypervisor, you should now see the physical node listed as an available access node.3. Common IssuesAccess node tile not visible: For HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, you do not add access nodes from the Manage > Infrastructure section. Instead, you install the package directly on a physical node as described above. The access node will then appear as an option when configuring the hypervisor in the Virtualization section.Error: Access node is not accessible to the cluster: This occurs if you try to use a VM as the access node. Only physical nodes are supported for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials.4. Additional RequirementsEach physical node must have at least 100 GB free disk space and 4 GB RAM (excluding OS and running applications).If your VMs are hosted on local storage, install the access node package on all nodes in the cluster.ReferencesConfiguring Backups for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials VMsSystem Requirements and Known Issues for HPE Morpheus VM EssentialsRegards,Kalaivanan.
