Running the CVInstallNetworkServer Tool

You can use the CVInstallNetworkServer tool to install the NFS-Ganesha and Samba servers on a Linux MediaAgent.

The CVInstallNetworkServer tool logs are available in the CVInstallNetworkServer.log file.

Before You Begin

• Verify that the following software is installed on the MediaAgent:

  • Python 2.7 or higher

    Note

    When support for the platform module will be deprecated in a future version of Python (expected in Python 3.8), if the pip Python package is present on the MediaAgent, then Commvault installs the distro Python package. Otherwise, to continue with the installation, you must install either the pip Python package or a distro Python package on the MediaAgent.

  • Repositories:

    • base

    • extras

    • updates

    To verify the configured repositories, you can run the yum repolist command.

• Verify that the MediaAgent has an Internet connection.

Procedure

• On the command line, run the following command after substituting the parameter values:

   
  ./CVInstallNetworkServer.py [-h] [-g NfsGaneshaVersion] -i MAInstanceName -c clientName

  For example:

  ./CVInstallNetworkServer.py -i Instance001 -c Client001

  For information about parameters, see Parameters for CVInstallNetworkServer Tool.

What to Do Next

Active Directory integration is not configured when you run the CVInstallNetworkServer tool on the Linux MediaAgent. To add the Linux MediaAgent to the Windows Active Directory domain, you must use a workflow.
