Installing Commvault Locally on Windows Computers Using the Installation Package

You can install agents and other Commvault software by using the installation package that was created from the Download Manager application.

Note For the CommServe server installation, see Installing the CommServe Software. To install other server packages, go to Other Server Packages and select the package that you want to install.

Before You Begin

• Verify that the installation package that was created from the Download Manager includes the software that you want to install. If some of the software is missing, create a new installation package and include the required software. For more information, see Downloading Software for Windows Computers Using the Download Manager.
• Prepare your environment and gather the following information that you must provide during the installation:
  • For MediaAgents, see Plan the MediaAgent Installation and Preinstallation Checklist for the MediaAgent on Windows.
  • For agents, see Plan the Installation on Windows Computers and the preinstallation checklist for that agent.
  • For tools, see "Before You Begin" in Installing Commvault Tools.
  • Open the Windows Registry Editor and go to the following directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
  • Right-click SOFTWARE, click New > Key, and then name the new key GalaxyInstallerFlags.
  • Right-click GalaxyInstallerFlags, and then click New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  • Right-click the new value, click Rename, and then type bShowClientCertificateDialog as the new value.
  • Double-click the DWORD key, set the Value Data to 1, and then click OK.
  • Close the Registry Editor.

  Procedure

  1. Log on to the computer as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group on that computer.

  Note In a cluster environment, log on to the physical node of the cluster as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group on that computer.

  • If you are installing the software in a cluster environment, repeat the installation procedure for each physical node on the cluster.
  • To help you troubleshoot errors that occur before the installation summary page, check the %allusersprofile%\Commvault Systems\Galaxy\LogFiles\Install.log. If the error occurs after the summary page, check the installation logs in the Software_Installation_Directory\Log Files directory.
