Azure VM Snapshot (Non IntelliSnap Backups)

Hello Everyone , In Azure We are taking daily incremental backups of Azure VM.Retention - 15 Days 1 CycleWe observed that Snapshots of all the VM are getting retained. When next job starts it deletes the snapshot and the latest snapshot is retained till the next backup.We are not using Intellisnap at all.Ideally as per process snapshot should get deleted after the backups:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/31324_backup_process.html This is not happening resulting in increased cloud cost. Please advise.

COmmserve DR phase1 backup to metallic cloud

Hi CV Team, We want to send CSDB meta data to commvault cloud(metallic). We have whitelisted all CV URLS. We added internet proxy IP to the commserve host. When try to enable the setting “upload backup metadata to metallic cloud”, I am getting below error in CVcloudservices.log “Failed to connect to cvdrservices.metallic.io port 443 after 21000ms, cloudnt connect to server”. Kindly note, I am able to url the URL upload backup metadata to metallic cloud” on the commserve edge browser.Do I miss anything here? Do I need to configure HTTP proxy on commcell console ?https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/configuring_http_proxy_server_for_commserve_computer.htmlIf I configure, does it allow access to all clients in environment(which we does not want) ?You can configure all clients in your CommCell environment to access Internet resources through an HTTP proxy server.

Outlook add-in updated version

Dears,I'm encountering difficulties downloading the latest Outlook add-in for version 11.36. The downloader is only providing the version for 11.30.I would appreciate it if someone could assist me in obtaining the correct downloader for version 11.36.Additionally, I believe there may be an error in the documentation regarding the Outlook add-in version. It's possible that the shared version is outdated. I recommend the Commvault team verify the accuracy of the documentation to ensure it aligns with the latest version of the Outlook add-in.

FSBased Backup PostgreSQL Invalid Archive Log Directory

Hello Commvault Community,I'm trying to backup PostgreSQL with FSBased backup, somehow it failed at 74%. When I checked the log, it shows that there is invalid archive log directory (Log file attached). In our PostgreSQL.conf, we are using bash command in archive_command row. I also configured the postgres instance in Commvault using the path from archive_command bash file. So the path to archive log should be correct.In looks like Commvault managed to transfer data but it failed to stop the Backup Query.Please advice. Thanks in advance.

github protection using github app credentials

Hi, Is it possible (or is it on the roadmap) to use github app credential during github authentication? As far i understand only personal access key is possible now?  I was told by our github team that using app credentials is a good practice and allow us to use higher API limits.  Thanks.

Two MAs with local storage, single or two storage pools?

Hello,In one location i have two MAs(media agents) with local storage, each MA has:1. SSD storage for DDB (two disks in RAID1 array), single logical disk2. HDD storage for library (multiple disks in RAID6 array), single logical diskSo, I have two options:A. Create two Deduplication storage pools, one per server and manage how agents are spread between those pools manually. With this approach I'm familiar on practice, it is not very convenient to mage such setup. But i clearly understand how jobs and clients are spread between MAs and what happens if one of servers will fail.B. Create one big Storage pool with both MAs in grid, library paths will be shared between MAs using DataServerIP transport in read mode, pool will have common DDB with two partitions(one per MA). I'm not familiar with such setup and don't know potential downsides.So, questions regarding option (B):1. How agents and jobs are spread between MAs? How Commvault makes decision which local storage path to use, on MA1 or

Ethernet frame size for Auxiliary Copy between 2 HSX clusters…

Hi All,A customer asked me about the size of the Ethernet frames used between 2 HSX clusters during Auxiliary Copies.From what I understand, the customer is concerned that the frames are too small. And that in relation to certain network components, the throughput obtained is not very high if the frames are small.And he asks me to put the question to Commvault ...As I understand it, this is independent of Commvault. But I'd like to check my understanding to the community.Ethernet has a minimum frame size of 64 bytes. It also has a maximum frame size of 1518 bytes. (if jumbo frame is not configured).For Auxiliary Copy jobs between HSX clusters, Commvault uses 128kB data blocks.These data blocks are sent to the Rocky Linux kernel, which splits them into 1500-byte segments (if jumbo frame is not configured) and sends them to the Ethernet interface driver.Can you please confirm my correct understanding? Is there any reason why Ethernet frames should not be the maximum size?Regards,Luc

Kubernetes - App-Consistent Backups using cvtasks

Hello,I'm currently working on K8s application-consistent backups through cvtasks. MongoDB is not mentioned in the documentation or on GitHub at AppConsistency/examples.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/application_consistent_backups_for_kubernetes_using_cvtasks.htmlIs this just a limitation of the CVK8SDiscoverDB.sh script and can a cvtask for a MongoDB be created manually using command, ScriptText or LocalScript or can a MongoDB only be protected app-consistent using a pre/post scripts?Thank you.

Problem with Python Script for Commvault API Access

I am starting to approach the use of APIs in the Commvault environment.The goal is to extract a customized report created in the Command Center (Custom Report).I have created a script that performs the login in the Command Center, and it works correctly (Script name: Login.py).Next, I created a script that performs the login and then a GET request using the token received from the login (Script name: Get Report.py).The URL for the GET request was taken from the Command Center by selecting REST API from the report.I am attaching the listed scripts. The error I receive is as follows: /Get Report.py" Login successful! Authentication token: QSDK 393e4984a1a254f623019e8c20e221d0f3e04615ffde8c020f3aa3df4e67cf75efd3e01f34d86367be3e03948a9081e2177d34579743df1520bec81a0470b432be5345b3b75b548efbf61e02112b9026e4ee1db4b76c047e4844aca40ec0822e5d23124a0329d432af7ee137154079b4bf2b4815a1bc056fd73a9585a5dd2bd74f941c640faf0f99e38596fa6c25a4292bf03c2dedb6f135d56641413777c625c0682de01a558d7ce52886737e47cd

Differences in license consumption status alert between consoles

Hello Commvault Community, I would like to ask you how to change the condition in the license consumption monitoring alert so that it indicates the current consumption according to Command Center. Some time ago I came across the information that the calculation of license consumption in CommCell Console isn’t perfect and we should monitor and suggest the information presented in License Summary Report from CommandCenter (after use Recalculate button).  Today this has been proven and confirmed - in one of the environments running on SP32 version we noticed that for many months in CommCell Console the system didn’t inform about excess use of VOI licenses, after checking this in CommandCenter it turned out that licenses have been used for a long time above 100% license consumption, where in CommCell Console the alerts gave information that the consumption is at 80-90% of available licenses.  It seems that despite many updates to the Commvault environment version, the alerts still refer to

Permission Issues with Admin User in Commvault - I am admin user but I need authorize to delete

Hello Commvault Community,I recently installed Commvault in a test environment and am encountering an issue with administrative tasks.I currently have only one profile available, which is the default admin account, and I do not have any other accounts. However, when attempting to delete clients, libraries, or storage policies, I receive a message stating that the request has been sent via email and will be processed once approved.I have verified that my admin user account is configured as an administrator and has the appropriate roles and privileges. I would appreciate any guidance or solutions you could provide to help resolve this issue.Thank you in advance for your assistance.
