Hello Community and Happy New Year!In a client, we have a primary storage policy using a Disk Library (DDB). Needed also a tape out (copy-2). The HPE tape library is already configured and accessible via MediaAgent.For these auxiliary copies (Copy-2) to tape, we need to create two distinct groups: Weekly backups with 4 weeks retention Monthly backups with infinite retention   What is the recommended best practice?Stick with the default storage pool for both aux copy types (and rely on retention rules/scheduling to differentiate)? Or create two dedicated storage pools (e.g., "Weekly_Tape_Pool" and "Monthly_Tape_Pool"), assign specific tapes/drive pools to each, and configure the aux copy operations/rules to target the appropriate pool based on backup frequency?Also, it’s important the tapes to remain strictly separated, no mixing of weekly and monthly data on the same tapes!  Thanks in advance for your insights and real-world experience!Best regards,Nikos

Hi CV Community,We are Planning to do a domain name change on our Commserve and media agent. for example we are currantly used commserve.abc.com and media.abc.com but we need change the domain name commserve.xyz.com and media.xyz.com.

Hello All,Our customers are increasingly requesting to update their NetApp storage to Ontap 9.17.1. In addition, new systems are increasingly being delivered with 9.17, and we need to perform a downgrade. (if still supported by the hardware)Are there any plans to release Ontap 9.17.1 or even 9.18.1? Grateful for any help!

NetApp is currently selling the successor to the ASA (SAN Only), the ASAr2, at an attractive price. Basically, it is a system from the ONTAP family, like the FAS or AFF systems. Unfortunately, the API has changed considerably, and Commvault does not yet support the ASAr2 API. I’ve heard that integration is being worked on. Is there a timeline for this?We have a few projects where Commvault (new customer) and NetApp would be a good combination.

Hi,I recently gained access to the Partner Portal and I have now completed the SE training on Readiverse.My next task was going to be to download all the available PowerPoint decks so that I could start building a couple of decks to tell the Commvault story (i.e. intro and deep-dive).Where can I find the decks?I am hoping that there are SE decks that go into great detail on each of the main product features (i.e. Core platform, Threat Scan, ThreatWise, Cleanroom Recovery, Air Gap Protect, Security IQ, Identity Resilience, HyperScale X, ...). Many thanksMark

Hello All,After adding a data file to the MSSQL database, it's normal for log backup to convert to full backup. However, after converting log backup to full backup, the server experiences excessive CPU consumption, reaching 100%. Is this normal behavior, what is the reason, and how can we solve it?Meanwhile, we don't observe too much CPU increase when running a normal full backup.

Disaster Recovery Query – IDM Application Backup Tapes (December & November 2025)The IDM application is hosted in DC1 (Onsite). Monthly full backups are taken every last Sunday of the month. These backups are sent to DC2 (DR Site). In December 2025, the IDM application required 5 tapes for the full backup. Out of these, 3 tapes became full and were already moved to DC2. The remaining 2 tapes were not yet full and stayed onsite in DC1. A disaster has now wiped out all onsite data, including incrementals, disk backups, and the 2 onsite tapes. We need to know in how many possible ways the application can be recovered using the offsite tapes. If recovery from December 2025 is not possible due to missing tapes, we need confirmation whether all November 2025 backup tapes for IDM are available offsite. If November’s set is complete, recovery should proceed from that month instead.

Hello Commvault Community,   Is the Paid Export APIs option still paid? Microsoft's website states this:  Thanks in advance! Kind Regards,​​​​​​​Kamil

Hello Team,How can we enable Journaling on o365?Note: On on -prem it was enabled but it will be decommissioned soon as we moved to Exch Online.

I want to configure a disk library and share it between two Media Agents running Windows Server 2022, enabling load balancing and failover. The disks are presented from a storage via FC to both servers and from these servers the same disks are accessed using the same drive or mount path.Does the Transport Type in Share Mount Path have to be Regular on both servers?Or, on the first server, is it configured as a local path and shared with the second as a Data Server - FC?What is the recommendation according to best practices? 

Hi team,I would like to confirm a specific point regarding Commvault Deduplication.Is it supported to store the Deduplication Database on a NAS , considering that the NAS itself is not a MediaAgent?I want to confirm whether the DDB can reside on NAS storage or if it must be located on MediaAgent-local storage.Thank you. 

Hi. If I vmotion a VM that is currently in cluster A, to a new greenfield vcenter let’s call it cluster B, I assume that the UUID will remain the same but will Commvault see that VM as the same and backup history will follow? 

I would like to provide feedback on the documentation related to Virtual Machine Threat Analysis.The current documentation explains Threat Analysis behavior mainly from a Linux perspective, but it does not clearly mention OS compatibility requirements between the Threat Scan Server and the guest OS of the VM being scanned.Based on validation in multiple environments, the following behavior is observed: Linux Threat Scan Server → supports Linux VM threat analysis Linux Threat Scan Server → does not support Windows VM threat analysis Windows VM threat analysis works correctly only when a Windows Threat Scan Server is used This indicates a design requirement, not a troubleshooting issue: Windows VMs must be scanned using a Windows Threat Scan Server Linux Threat Scan Server is intended for Linux VMs only This requirement is currently not clearly documented, which may lead to incorrect design assumptions during deployment.

Hello I have the following:               RHEL client: RHEL 9Windows Commserve: Windows Server 2019No firewall exist between the two machinesWhen I check the box that says Restore Via CV Tools to install the Linux agent onto the client, I get this error:“Description: Failed to install File System Core Package, could not determine processor/OS type of client”I do have a case open with support but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution. I have not found a solution on the forum. 

We recently had a scare when Commvault upgraded us to a new feature that we “Thought” our Media Agent couldn’t handle.  Thankfully we were wrong but we want to disable auto updates.  The ticket I had open they said to do the below.  I can not find this option at all.  When I do searches it talks about disabling it in the schedules but I am not seeing the updates in the commcell schedule either.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.Steps:Open the CommCell Console. Navigate to: Control Panel > Additional Settings. Add a new setting: Name:DisableAutomaticPushInstall Category/Path:CommServDB.GxGlobalParam Type: Integer Value:1

HelloWe just applied the latest maintenance patch to our 11.32. Commvault environment a few days ago to bring us to 11.32.128  (from 11.32.125) and I noticed this morning scans showed a log4j vulnerability. Plugin Output:   Path              : C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\CVCIEngine\CvPreviewHome\webapps\CvContentPreviewGenApp\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-core-2.17.1.jar  Installed version : 2.17.1  Fixed version     : 2.25.3  Path              : C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\MessageQueue\lib\optional\log4j-core-2.24.3.jar  Installed version : 2.24.3  Fixed version     : 2.25.3 Is there a fix or patch that Commvault will release to address this.  Maybe in the next months maintenance release?   Any input would be appreciated. ThanksBC
