The Commvault VM Recovery Plug-in can be integrated to the VMware vSphere client, which is the tool provided to VM administrators to manage virtualized environments. It provides a new 'backup' tab in the client that gives the users information and tools to the users to browse data and restore VMs without the need to access the CommCell® console.
Prerequisites to the VM Recovery Plug-In deployment:
The Web Server and Web Console must be deployed in the Commvault® environment.
The VSA agent must be configured in the Commvault environment, for VM level recovery.
The File System agent must be configured in the Commvault environment, for VM file recovery.
To configure the VM Recovery Plug-In
1 - Right-click the VSA instance | Properties.
2 - Check to register the plug-in on the vCenter server.
3 - A Commvault Backup tab now appears in the vSphere client.
