Azure backup config question

Hey all,

Forgive my newbie-ness.

I am attempting to setup Azure backup in CommVault 11.26.62.  I created the Hypervisor, but had some questions about the Access Node setup.  I want to put the access node in my region where my storage and VMs are, but my confusion is with it requiring a computer group.  I don’t have any of my Azure groups listed in CV yet, as I don’t have the access node/hypervisor setup, right?

If anyone has any documentation on this config i’d sure be interested in knowing.  The CV documentation is, well, just not that good as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

    Hey ​@Chris DeRusseau,

    We have a training module on Azure VM, but its for SaaS deployments which doesnt cover access nodes - still it might be interesting to take a look: https://readiverse.commvault.com/learn/course/29053/commvault-cloud-saas-microsoft-azure-vms

    You shouldn't need to be required to configure a computer group for anything - computer groups are a simple way to manage commvault infrastructure. A VM group contains collection of the machines you want to protect. 

     

    You should just need to deploy an access node (windows/linux VM), then install the Virtual server agent on that node, and then it should be selectable as a access node during the configuration of the hypervisor setup. From there you can create a VM group and it should discover the VMs available in your azure subscription for backup.
