Hello Team,

This is the new implementation of Commvault VM backup on KVM environment.

VM's are running application and Oracle DB.

Our requirement is mentioned in below:

  • How to take VM's image backup from KVM virtualization and what are the pre-requisites needed.
  • Is it supported IntelliSnap feature on KVM environment.
  • How to take backup of Oracle DB using RMAN.
  • Currently we have only Commvault Backup & Recovery For Virtual Machines license. No capacity based license.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @AnandK 

 

oVirt / RHEV have management built-on on top that makes snapshot-based backups possible, with all the metadata and API functions we need to make it possible.

Please find the pre-requisites:

System Requirements for Virtual Server Agent with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (commvault.com)

Virtual Server Agent Support for oVirt on KVM (commvault.com)

 

The following agents support Linux KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine):

UNIX Virtualization (commvault.com)

 

Backup using RMAN:Customizing RMAN Scripts from CommCell Console (commvault.com)

Intellisnap backup of Oracle using RMAN:Configuring Oracle RMAN Backup Copy (commvault.com)

 

Thanks,

Keshika Bisht
