Limit all access to the web console

Greetings,We have migrated our user base over to utilizing the Command Center for performing restore tasks. As this is the case we are looking for a way to redirect the URL for the web console to the admin console. Thus far we have only been able to find ways to restrict access to the web console but not to redirect access. I have reviewed the documentation but have not had any luck in locating anything that will do what we need to do. Has anyone accomplished this in your own environment, if so how did you go about this. Thanks,-CEH

Problem with VMware backup after migration to another DataCenter

Hello Commvault Community, We had a scenario where one of the (properly) backed up VMs was migrated to another DataCenter using the Zerto tool, then migrated again to the original DataCenter and stopped working properly. The VM named XYZ has been moved from the production DataCenter2 (ABC2) to the second (failover/backup) DataCenter1 (ABC1). The Zerto tool was used for this type of switching. The machine disappears from DC2 and appears in DC1 - the backup should be done, because we have everything prepared on the tags (Tags are configured at the subclient level), and the Zerto tool transfers all  tags. In both DCs we have separate MediaAgents (DDBs, Indexes on them) and other repositories (other arrays) The problem is that the virtual machine [XYZ] in DC1 during about a week of stay did not perform a backup according to the schedule until it had Full configured (started according to schedule). Like we switched the VM again from DC1 to DC2 - same problem. Backup according to schedule wa

Data aging not causing deletion of objects on S3 Object Storage

Hi,I have set the retention settings of the storage policy as 1 day and 0 cycle.Took a backup of the VM client into the HCP S3 Based object storage.Post retention expiry, the data aging job should delete off the data from HCP and HCP-CS cloud libraries.But the data (chunk folders and chunks) still resides on the HCP buckets and the deletion is not happening. Any suggestions please.

pick data from running job

Hi all, Before I raise a ticket, trying to reproduce it, I want to check here if someone ever experienced the same.This is the case back-up data is save on 3 copies Primary (disk) → Synchronous (disk)→ Selective (tape)The Synchronous job is used as as source for the tape copy.The Synchronous copy has the option “Pick data from running job” enables (well had)This was disabled as we saw that the Selective copy also started to copy the data that still was being copied to the Synchronous copy (job-ids had the status partially copied). This is strange, because that option is not there in the SPc.And you do not want this, because the fact data is going to tape but more important, the jobs should be become marked as “With errors” in de Synchronous copy and therefor not copied but instead the next job closed to the selective rules. Did anyone ever experienced the same and knows the reason/solution? Thanks,Danny

Understanding for deduplication in backup job

I have a query for deduplication which is enabled when creating a storage policy.The partition path was chosen as a single partition path on a media-agent drive.I took a Full backup of a VM and it wrote some chunks in the HCP S3 Storage.Re-took the same backup again and it wrote more chunks in the HCP S3 Storage even though there wasn’t any change of the “VM content”. How does deduplication play a role here?

Issues with sporadic failed VM Backups via hotadd

Hi,We’re running into a strange issue with hotadd VM backups.For some VMs we see the error “Failed to download config file” and “Failed to open disk”. This is never for the same VMs over and over again, but sporadic and always for different VMs.We have two SCSI controllers defined on the Proxy and each controller has a “dummy”/”actual” disk as the first disk. (As advised by VMWare: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2075069Has anyone ever seen this issue? Any idea what might be causing it?

Instance Enable

I am monitoring the subclients. I see the “enableBackup” in the api for the subclients but notice the job does not run when the instance is not enabled which I can detect visually from the UI but do not see an attribute in the Instance or InstanceProperties API. Is there attribute for the instance enabledBackup?
