Overview This chapter provides an overview of the integration of the CommVault software with EMC Data Domain systems. About This Integration Guide This integration guide explains how to configure a CommVault backup and restore application with an EMC Data Domain system. This chapter provides an overview of the integration and describes configuration prerequisites that apply to all versions of the software. The remaining chapters focus on a single version of the software. Use this document together with the documentation. This document assumes that the software is already installed.

Prerequisites System Prerequisites • A Data Domain system running Data Domain OS version 5.2 or later • A second optional Data Domain system if replication is desired • One CommVault server • One server with CommVault MediaAgent installed and configured MediaAgent can also be installed on the server. • Backup sources: NDMP servers, Windows file servers, and UNIX file servers Software Prerequisites: • Install the CommVault software, with its own prerequisites checked and configured, including SQL Server, the Windows Domain Controller, and other prerequisites. • Install the backup agent for Windows (or UNIX) on all of the systems that you want to back up. Required Licenses: • Data Domain VTL licenses, if you want to back up to a VTL or an NDMP tape server • CommVault licenses, as required Configuration Checklist This checklist summarizes the detailed procedures later in this document. Procedure 1. Prepare and configure the Data Domain backup target subdirectories and shares for CIFS or NFS access under /backup. Create a folder under /backup to store CommVault backup data, such as /backup/cvbackupdata. Alternatively, create an MTree and a share for CIFS or NFS access. 2. Create the CommVault shared magnetic libraries, which are connected via CIFS or NFS to the appropriate CommVault MediaAgent. 3. Create a storage policy for Client systems to use under Policies. When using the Create Storage Policy Wizard, be sure to select <proper name> as the policy type. 6 Dell EMC Data Domain and CommVault Integration
