Vmware VSAN Fault Domain support not working properly

Hi Guys,we’re running on Commvault 11.28.69Backup of VMs on a streched VSAN Cluster, where VSAs are deployed to both fault domains, enabling the use of hotadd transport mode in both locations.The backups are currently assigned to any available VSA, without honoring the fault domain. This creates additional WAN Traffic and also has an impact on backup performance.According to BOL this feature is available since 11.20New Features for Virtualization in 11.20 (commvault.com)I also defined bEnableClusterFaultDomainDispatch = true (should be default) on all VSA, but doesn’t lead to a proper VSA selection. Once the VM is not running on the same host as a VSA, any VSA is assigned.Are there any further settings to enable (or the other way arround to disabled) that lead to a propper asignment of VMs to VSA ?As a workaround, I now assigned the usable/wanted VSA now to each virtualization client’s subclient instead of the instance only. This restricts the VSA to the local fault domain only, but th

Live Sync: Prioritize replication of full backups

We currently have Virtual Machines replicating with Live Sync, Full is executed and then incremental, my question is, is there a way to prioritize that the Full backups are copied first and then the incremental ones, we see that it does not replicate the full VMs first, if not It seems that it prioritizes smaller VMs.

Linux proxy for Xenserver

Hi All,we have to backup a large number of VM on Xenserver.I created Windows proxy and added it as access node. i was able to backup windows & linux Vm with this.but when I went for Guest file level restore then it was asking for FREL enable ( for both Linux & Windows)Then i added another VM in same host with linux os and enabled it for FREL with media agent role and then Guest level restore worked for both.Now, I want to use only Linux VM as proxy and want to get rid of Windows at all, Can i do this?I do not see any option to add non-widows Proxy as access node in xen pseudo  client in commvault.Does it means , i will have to keep one windows VM as proxy for backup & one linux VM for FREL? it would be great wastage  of resources . please confirm and suggest any workaround.

Insufficient privileges to complete the operation. ErrorCode: Authorization_RequestDenied

Hi All,we are configuring CommVault for the first time to take backup of Mailboxes using Azure Active Directory. The authentication is successful however we are still getting the error “Insufficient privileges to complete the operation. ErrorCode: Authorization_RequestDenied”.The Service account is a Global Admin account, unable to identify the root cause. It seems there is Authorization issue however all required permissions granted to the application.

Additional sub-client for MS SQL database

We recently have implemented Commvault backup for MS SQL servers. Most of the backups are using the default subclient.However, I have run across some reading previously that for big and/or critical database like 1 TB in size, it would be good idea to create additional subclient. I think something if backup fails, it has something to do with restart all databases again? Is that correct? Can someone shed some lights on this?Let’s say I have 30 databases in a server, if one fails backup, the other 29 needs to be rerun from the start?Please adviseThanks

How to properly deleting/decommissioning mount points associated to old storage: DDB's appear still associated with the mount paths.

We have added new storage to Commvault, and set the old mount paths to “Disabled for Write” via the mount path “Allocation Policy” → “Disable mount path for new data” + “prevent data block references for new backups”All mount paths that are “disabled for write” do not have any data on them via the “mount path” → “view contents” option.We have waited a several months for all the data to age off.BUT…I see info on the forums/docs that “data’ may still be on the storage, and there are referenced to “baseline data” in use by our DDB’s.  When I go to the mount path properties → Deduplication DB’s tab, I see that all our “disabled for write” mount paths have DDB’s listed in them. So it appears commvault is still using the storage in some way. I saw a post that indicated “The LOGICAL jobs no longer exist on that mount path, but the original blocks are still there, and are being referenced by newer jobs.  For that reason, jobs listed in other mount paths are referencing blocks in this mount pat

VMware intellisnap netapp

Hello,To improve out RTO time we are thinking about following scenario:current we backup VM via VSA backup to MA, and AuxCopy then the data to a CIFS share which is sitting on a NetApp with SnapLock configured . In case of ransomware attack, we will restoration via VM restoration process from the CIFS share.In future we want restore in case of disaster direct the volume which host the VMsnow my question is possible to handle this during commvault completely?  VM backup configured with IntelliSnap take snapshot on volume, then it triggers a SnapVault to a NearStore only for full backups (SnapLock configured), after this it takes backup copy for standard backup, where we have longer retention and possibility to restore single VM or single files….In case of disaster, we can restore full backup volume via IntelliSnap restoration then we restore VM backups from the standard backup. This should be much faster as restore whole VM from VSA backups.Question is will this work, or is there a thin

Exchange 2019 Database Agent with Intellisnap on Vmware

 Hi teamI have installed DAG Exchange 2019 servers on Vmware virtaul machines. Is it possible to use intellisnap functionality in this setup to backup (snap) exchange databases ? I have checked that VMware VM image backup and also Exchange database agent are supported for intellisnap and all requrements (separatelly) are met.But what if Exchange DAG is installed on Vmware environment ?I would not use “application aware” backup because of limited functionality of databse backup in that case. I want to use Exchange Database Agent backup fully configured inside DAG servers and runing beside of vm image backups.Thanks for all advices.

InfuxDB Backup solutions

Hi Community,We have a use case for single instance InfluxDB servers that will reside on VMs on-prem, with the possibility of including the software clustered on-prem also in the future.As far as I can tell there is no information to backup InfluxDB that I can find in our CMV DOCS or on this Community forum, does anyone use this and have some good recommendation.The influxDB comes with backup and recovery tool sets, so I would imagine using the tools to create backups and ingesting the folders into Commvault via file backups frequently might only the be the case  here, and couple that with a VM backup of the OS vDisk.Anyone lese have a view or working scenarios with decent RPO?Thx for any replies
