# Configuring Commvault With Wasabi Using the Command Center

[Commvault](https://www.commvault.com/) has been validated for use with Wasabi. Follow the steps below to configure Wasabi as a cloud storage target.

> The data restoration process is handled by your specific backup software application. As many variables can affect your unique environment, Wasabi strongly recommends that you seek guidance from your backup software’s technical support team if you encounter difficulties or have application-specific inquiries.

## Requirements

- Commvault v11sp19 (or later) has been installed and configured. This article details the configuration of v11.44.
- Commvault media agent has been installed and associated with Comcell server.
- An active Wasabi Cloud Storage account.

> Commvault recommends using the Commvault Command Center web console for net-new installs, while earlier versions will need to use a Java-based Command Center. For details on the configuration using the Commcell Console, refer to [Configuring Commvault With Wasabi Using the Commcell Console](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/how-do-i-use-commvault-with-wasabi). Note that Commcell console cannot be used for versions FR30 and later.

## Configuring Wasabi as a Cloud Storage Target

1. Log in to the Commvault Command Center.
2. Navigate to the **Storage** tab.

The virtual machines associated with this plan will be backed up to the Wasabi storage location.

## Configuring Immutable Backups Using Object Lock

You can configure immutable backups by enabling WORM functionality on the cloud storage server. Commvault supports object lock in Compliance mode.

> When WORM is enabled, the cloud storage utilization will be increased due to the deduplication databases used by Commvault as a part of its backup process. This applies to all cloud storage providers. For more information, refer Commvault’s documentation on [Configuring Storage Lock](https://documentation.commvault.com/11.44/software/configuring_storage_lock.html).

> As of version 11.44 of Commvault, a new feature has been added to improve storage reclamation efficiency, you can enable WORM Storage Optimization, which uses micro-pruning to reclaim eligible data at the job level while maintaining WORM immutability protections. For more information, review the Commvault’s documentation on [Configuring Immutability on Cloud Storage](https://documentation.commvault.com/11.44/software/configuring_immutability_on_cloud_storage.html).

1. Log in to your Commvault Console Dashboard.
2. Search Commcell in the search bar at the top of the dashboard.
3. Click **Manage.**
4. Click **Commcell**.

Commvault Optimized WORM Storage Lock will be enabled for newly created storage locations.
8. Create an Object Lock enabled Wasabi bucket. For more information, refer to [Object Lock: Enabling](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/object-locking).
9. Configure the Object Lock enabled bucket as a cloud storage server location by following the steps in [Configuring Wasabi as a Cloud Storage Target](/v1/docs/draft-configuring-commvault-with-wasabi-using-the-command-center#configuring-wasabi-as-a-cloud-storage-target).
10. Select the cloud storage location and navigate to Configuration.
