Installing Commvault Locally on Windows Computers Using the Download Manager

You can install the Commvault software locally on Windows computers by using the Download Manager application.

Before You Begin

  • Obtain the latest Download Manager from the Cloud Services website or the Maintenance Advantage website. For more information, see Downloading Installation Media.

  • Make sure that the computer where the software will be installed meets the following requirements:

    • The computer must have Internet connectivity so that the Download Manager can retrieve the Commvault software.

    • The system time of the computer must be synchronized with the time zone of your region. If the system time is ahead of or behind the time zone of your region, then the installation will fail.

    • If you install Commvault on a computer that has a firewall enabled, the firewall settings might prevent some of the files from being downloaded, resulting in download and installation failures. To avoid this issue, configure your firewall to allow executable files to be downloaded (such as batch files), or contact your software provider for assistance.

  • Prepare your environment and gather the information that you must provide during the installation:
