Hello, Are there two possible paths to Commvault certification: Command Center and Commcell Console?Does the Commvault Professional Self-Paced Course ($800.00) include an exam voucher or I need to pay additional $250.00 to do the exam?

Is there a better way to see Backup Tape statistics besides the Tape Library Growth report on the health page? I am being asked to provide the following:Tapes per week are we using per week?TB of space by week?Available tapes do we have new/old tapes?How many new ones?New tape consumptions over the next few weeks??I can get some of this out of that report but not all. I thought I would propose this to the community before I open a low level case with Commvault support. Thank you for your help.
I am using CVpySDK and trying to assign storage policy for a client that currently doesn’t have a storage policy. I tried the code below from the documentation but it didn’t work: client = commcell.clients.get(client_name)agent = client.agent.get(‘sql server’)backupset = agent.backupset.get(‘defaultBackupSet’)subclient = backupset.subclients.get(‘default’)subclient.storage_policy = ‘MyStoragePolicy’

Hi, We are trying to add mysql instance, but both cvpysdk and API failed to do so. For cvpysdk i opened github issue, but not sure it’s actively maintained? For API, using this page and example values: curl -k -L -X POST 'https://commsrv/commandcenter/api/Instance' \-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \-H 'Accept: application/json' \-H 'Authorization: Bearer [...]' \--data-raw '{ "instanceProperties": { "instance": { "instanceName": "aymasterr_3306", "applicationId": 104, "clientId": 461, "clientName": "a-o0" }, "mySqlInstance": { "BinaryDirectory": "/usr/bin", "LogDataDirectory": "/var/lib/mysql", "ConfigFile": "/etc/my.cnf", "port": "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock", "EnableAutoDiscovery": true, "SAUser": { "userName": "root", "password": "cm9vdAo" }, "proxySettings": { "isProxyEnabled": false, "proxyInstance": { "instanceId": 0 }, "isUseSSL": false, "runBackupO
I need an API endpoint to fetch the subclient id. For testing purpose I copied the ID from the url: https://win-igicqf1affn/commandcenter/#/collectionDetails/content/3/10 In the above mentioned URL 10 is the subclient id. I have used it in other API endpoints. But when I use the api in order to fetch the subclient id it gives me 14 instead of 10. Below are the links to APIs I have been manipulating.https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP34/api/cv/VirtualizationOperations/update-subclient-virtual-machine-contenthttps://api.commvault.com/docs/SP34/api/cv/SubclientOperations/get-subclient-propertiesThe api that is giving me a different subclient id:https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP34/api/cv/SubclientOperations/get-subclient-idimport requestsimport jsonurl = "https://win-igicqf1affn/commandcenter/api/subclient?clientId=8"payload={}headers = { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authtoken': 'token'}response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload, verify=False)pretty_json = json

Hi,We use a tape library as DR. It’s configured to only keep one full backup of servers, shares etc.Now I noticed that it doesn’t release tapes though there’re a lot newer backups for the shares or servers.To check it I’ve viewed the tape and what’s not greyed out.Then I checked the fullbackups for that share/server/db etc. and used view media for the fullbackups.Questions:When checking a subclients full backups and viewing media and it then shows a couple of tapes. Does that mean that the full backup does exist on those tapes or does it also show those tapes regardless if the backup is partially or fully on the tapes? Is there a job that we can run to correct and release these tapes if they already should have been released since there already exist newer backups on tape?
Hello dear Commvault users and Commvault specialists, Our libraries are growing unexpectedly. Initial analysis revealed no visible errors. Our two media agents show readiness check OK. The Disk Library Growth Trend report shows data growth, but says not what exactly is the cause and doesn’t show where (which sub client) is the most growing object.That is why my question is, what options are there in Commvault to check the data growth to identify the sub clients, which are growing at most. Our Commvault version is 11.32.23. I would be grateful for any advice.
