Complete the Databases Guided Setup for Microsoft Azure for PostgreSQL

The Databases guided setup guides you through creating a server plan and adding a Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

To complete the guided setup, you need the following information:

• The server name

• The host name

• The credentials that you use to access the server

• The packages that you want to install, such as Oracle

  Note

  If you are configuring a database that uses a pseudoclient, you must manually install the packages on the physical servers before you use the guided setup. For more information, see Adding a New Server.

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Guided setup.

   The Welcome page appears.

2. In the Databases tile, click Configure.

3. On the Configure Database Server page, select Database running in the cloud (PaaS).

4. Select Microsoft Azure, and then click Next.

5. On the Configure Azure Database page, select PostgreSQL, and then click Next.

6. On the Configure Azure Database - PostgreSQL page, select a server plan to use for the instance, and then click Next.

7. From the Cloud account list, either select an existing cloud account or add a new cloud account, and then click Next.

   Steps to add new cloud account

   1. Beside the Cloud account list, click +.

   2. In the Name box, type the name for the account.

   3. Enter the information about the subscription:

      • For the traditional authentication method of deployment, enter the following information:

        • Subscription ID: Enter the subscription ID for the Azure account.

        • Credential: select a saved credential or add a new credential.

      • For the managed identity authentication method of deployment, configure the following settings:

        • Connect using managed identities for Azure resources: Move the toggle key to the right.

        • Subscription ID: Enter the subscription ID for the Azure account.

   4. From the Access node list, select access nodes that have both the Virtual Server and Cloud Apps packages installed.

      Note: If you configure this cloud account to use managed identity authentication, select only Azure access nodes that use managed identity authentication to ensure that backup and restore operations succeed. The access node must be an Azure virtual machine in the same subscription as the Cosmos DB account that you want to back up.

   5. Click Save.

8. On the Cloud database instance details page, enter the following details:

   • From the Instance name list, select an instance.

   • Under the Connection details section, enter the following details:

     • In the Database user box, type the user name to access the Azure Database for PostgreSQL application.

     • Under the Use AD Authentication section, enter the following details:

       • In the Password box, enter the password to access the Azure Database for PostgreSQL application.

       • In the Confirm password box, reenter the password to access the Azure Database for PostgreSQL application.

         Note

         • If you move the Use AD Authentication toggle to right, you can proceed without entering the password.

         • Commvault identifies the authentication type that is selected at the cloud account level to authorize the database user.

     • In the Maintenance DB box, type the name of the system database that is used as the maintenance database.

     • In the Endpoint box, type the name of the endpoint to connect to the database instance.

     • If SSL is enabled on the cloud, move the Use SSL options toggle key to the right, and then in the SSL CA file box, enter the SSL CA file path in the proxy computer.

9. Click Next.

   Tip

   For Azure Single servers, enter the user name in the syntax username@hostname.

10. On the Backup Content page, to filter the content that is backed up, click Edit, select or clear the tables, and then click Save.

11. On the Summary page, Review the summary, and then click Finish.
