Adding a MongoDB Cluster

You can add a MongoDB cluster.

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Big data.

   The Big data page appears.

2. Click Add cluster.

   The Configure Big Data App page appears.

3. Select MongoDB, and then click NEXT.

   The Configure MongoDB Cluster page appears.

4. Select an existing plan or create a new plan.

5. Click NEXT

   The Add MongoDB Cluster page appears.

6. In the Cluster name box, enter a name for the cluster.

7. From the Master node list, select the master node.

   Note

   • If the selected master node is not available due to a network failure or any other reason and a backup is in progress, then the Commvault software does the following:

   • For the replica set environments, the software picks another node as master node from the replica set for backup operation.

   • For sharded cluster environments, the node with mongos (routing service) is picked as master node.

8. In the Binary path box, enter the path to the folder that contains the mongod or mongos executable file.

   The Commvault software uses mongo/mongosh, mongod, mongodump, and mongorestore for backup and restore operations. Keep the binaries in bin path and verify that the bin path is same across all the nodes in the cluster.

9. In the OS user name box, enter the OS user name that you want to use to run the MongoDB servers.

   Commvault software uses the OS user name to start the MongoDB servers after the restore operation.

   Note

   The OS user must have the permissions to do the following:

   • Start/stop the MongoDB service.

   • Read/write access to the files in dbPath and log directories.

   • Execute permissions on MongoDB binaries.

   • Access to the configured network ports.

10. In Port number box, enter the mongod or mongos port number.

11. Click NEXT.

    The Database Authentication page appears.

12. In the DB user name box, enter the database user name.

    Note

    The MongoDB authentication user account must be associated with the admin database.

13. In the DB password box, enter the password.

14. Click NEXT.

    The Summary page appears, where you can see the MongoDB cluster configuration details.

15. Click FINISH.
