Hello,Do virtual machines that are added to the VM filter consume licenses?Do virtual machines that are used only for VSA proxying consume licenses?Thank you

I am trying to push the media agent package on an Azure VM from the Metallic portal and it always fail with error 68:224 Description: Connection error. Check if services are running on client Any idea what is causing this error? Thank you.

We have few VM’s with Thick Lun Provisioning but the actual size of the VM is very small.Let’s say Provisioned capacity is 7TB.But the read size of the VM is 1TB.Does commvault consider 7TB or 1TB of License? 

Hello All,Greetings for the day!Linux idataagent backup failed with input/out error.Current CV version: 11:32:45 and client is Linux machineWe have full backup access on the mount-point i herewith attached the Jobresult log for reference.Thank youRobert

We’re setting up a new Alma 9 file server that we plan to have 4x 60TB volumes, and then use the Linux LVM to stripe them (sort of like this).We are into the half-billion inode count now, so we know that the File Agent without using block level backups would be untenable as the incremental scan time phase alone on the previous file server would reach 13-15 hours before even beginning the backup phase.However, I am having difficulty finding documentation on commvault’s pages confirming or denying whether volumes striped in this way is supported for block-level backups (we know that the File Agent without doing block level backups works fine as we are already using striped volumes on our previous file server).Can anyone confirm or deny or provide a link to the documentation where it states one way or another?

IHAC looking to deploy HSX RA and create bonded vlan’s has the following question. Can the data protection bonded interfaces be configured for a vlan that will work with dot1q/VLAN sub-interfaces? If yes, which topology we need to use? This will allow the interface to talk to multiple VLAN’s. Background:https://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=2990405&seqNum=2 

i have seen the documents for oci pca backup and i was checking vsa proxy requirement it was referring vm manager in the requirement.  https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/oracle_cloud_infrastructure_for_private_cloud_appliance_pca.htmland system requirement for proxy is below , is there any connectivity requirement ?https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/oracle_cloud_infrastructure_system_requirements.html  

So, I’ve got a ticket in for this, but have only recieved remedial solutions.  Basically, when we back up the dedupe database, its snapshot appears to be happening ok, but it’s missing files, as in they’re simply not there (see below).   It’ll take days of downtime (hundreds of servers not backed up) if we simply need to rebuild this.  Could this be a corrupt DDB?  Anyone else seen this issue?  ERROR CODE [6:43]: Backup failed: unable to open or read a file. Configured to fail on any error. Please check the following: 1. The account that the File System agent uses has sufficient privileges to back up files. 2. The data being backed up can be accessed and is not on a path that is unmounted or is inaccessible. 3. A third-party product is not locking the files. 4. There is no corruption of the data on the disk. 5. If some failures are expected, please change the current setting so that the backups can complete.Source: MyMediaAgent1, Process: clBackupFiles failed to back up:·  [D:\ddbfolde

Hi,During my attempt to access the Commvault Partner university site, I ran into an error while logging in.Best Regards

Planning to do a hardware refresh of Commvault environment running livesync.  I would appreciate some advice on how this can be done.Reasons for doing the refresh is as follows:1. Upgrade to Commvault v11.32 2.  Commvault currently running v11.20 with SQL 2012 as the backend3. OS of Commserve and DR Commserve need to be upgraded from Windows 2016 to Windows Server 2022Anyone who has done similar initiatives ?  What are the caveats and steps on how to implement this?

Trying to do a decoupled installation of the agent on a RHEL server. Can complete the decoupled installation on the client without issue however when going to add the client in Commserve and using the option “Fetch the configuration information from the client that is already installed in decoupled mode” there is no option to tell it to use the Network Gateway that all remote agents connect through. How can this be achieved? 

It appears that AD-based Accounts are now subject to account lockout rules - is this an 11.32 feature, or has this been around for a while? Also, is there / is there going to be a method to unlock accounts via the CommCell Console, or am I going to be forced to use the Command Center?

Hi Team, I have two different lists with names in it. I want to use each value from both the list inside for each how that can be done in workflow? <App_SetClientPropertiesRequest>    <association>        <entity>            <clientName>xpath:{/workflow/ForEach_1/OldName}</clientName>            <newName>xpath:{/workflow/variables/new_name}</newName>        </entity>    </association>    <clientProperties>        <client>            <clientEntity>                <clientName>xpath:{/workflow/ForEach_1/OldName}</clientName>            </clientEntity>        </client>    </clientProperties></App_SetClientPropertiesRequest> xpath:{/workflow/variables/new_name} has a list of names which is not working, everytim it is taking same object it also should work as ForEach value which can be used, any idea or suggestion

Hello, Our security team has found a vulnerability in Python36. Now I saw that 38 and 39 are also on the CommServe. My question now is how can I clean this up? In the overview of the programs installed in Windows, I don't see anything from Python because it was delivered with Commvault. To solve the problem I would have to get rid of Python36 but I would like to simply delete the folder without consulting here.Is anyone able to help me ?RegardsThomas  

I’m being told by support that restoring PST is not possible using legacy indexing. That we must build a new Indexing server using CVSOLR indexing in order to restore PSTs. When did legacy indexing get deprecated? 11.34

Hello everyone,We still have a few public folders running on Exchange on prem and we recently upgraded from Exchange 2013 to 2019.  I’ve tried to configure backup but am getting:No service account(s) found for public folder processing. Please assure that a service account is assigned a malibox association with owner permissions on the root and subroot public folders in order to proceed with public folder operations.This looks to be an Exchange issue.  Is there documentation anywhere that shows the steps to configure Exchange?ThanksKen

Hi fairly new to Metallic so bear with me please. text files logs are being created in c:\windows\temp and are on a Azure vm with the  Metallic file server agent installed, i was wondering if anyone had a idea of what is generating these logs, a service or other.    

I’d like to use VSA based File Indexing for a single Windows VM file serverThere used to be a tick box option in the JAVA Console / Subclient setup - But that seems to have disappeared. The Option now is to-Use VM Groups in Command Center easy to do)-But I’m then guided to use ‘Plans’ Is there anyway I can bypass this and use my existing Storage Polices  I’m happy to use a plan if needed (as I only want VSA file indexing for a single VM - so this would be ‘standalone / isolated plan - specific to a single VM)

So.. last year we’d implemented a scheme where there were many subclients looking for VMs through vCenter as such:We later noticed a major drag on vCenter, which was causing lockups and such.  We then changed the scheme around to something simpler, with far fewer subclients.  The issue went away.  As I see it - we simply had overburdened our ESX servers/vCenter with too many authentications and checks. Now, it’s being suggested to me that we create far MORE subclients.  I’m thinking of taking what it’s found now per datastore and putting them into a static content as such: VMs in the future will be handled differently (we’ve got a policy setup using category\tags in vCenter - this is our old school method for servers that haven’t been brought into the modern fold).  Question - does anyone know if this will generate more authentication traffic again?  CV could just authenticate once then go about its business with the list?We’re using a windows domain account to authenticate… I’d think

Hii’m using commvault to backup my vmware environment.I have a DR site, and i use commvault to replicate, once a day, vms from main site to DR site.Backup and replication are working well.I applied a 1 month retention and i schedule an daily incremental with a weekly full.Just fews VMs are replicated. On these VMs, i noticed that there is no more weekly full backups. The weekly full was replaced, i guess “automatically”, by synthetic full.I would like to know if there is away to have a weekly full backup, and a synthetic one for replication ? 

Hello everyone,i’m trying to configure Sharepoint online app.Following the documentation I should configure an Office 365 plan, but I can’t find it.From the Command Center, in Manage→Plans, as well as in Guided Setup→Office 365, there is only the Server backup plan.What am I doing wrong?Thanks and regards

Hello! I’m currently looking to see if commvault has a configuration that we can set so the user dbs are not being backup on servers that’s being backup. Currently I am following the documentation outlined, Excluding User Accounts from Backups (commvault.com) , but I’m wondering if this can be set as a default settings to exclude user dbs. from backups. 

Hi Community,our customer has upgraded the CommVault Environment from Version 11.28.102 to 11.32.45.Since the upgrade we have Issues with AUXCopies and the VMware VSA backups.We have this Issues with our 4 physical Media agents (Windows 2019) at the head office.The following errors occur sporadically on different DDBs and MediaAgents The following app crash events occur in the Windows log on all 4 MediaAgents I have already carried out a CommVault Instance Repair on all 4 media agents, but unfortunately this has not solved the problem.A CommVault Case was created. Support suspects a Windows OS issue. But I can't believe that all 4 MediaAgents have an OS problem.A "check readiness" on the MAs shows no problemsHas anyone had similar problems after upgrading CommVault to version 11.32.45?best regards,Andreas
