I have a question from our storage administrator that I think I know the answer to but would like to confirm.  Is there a way to backup data and have the original/source data deleted?  We use Isilon for our storage and we would like to back up the data to a Primary target, but have the original data deleted afterward (I guess the Isilon doesn’t have a native tool to delete large amounts of data).  The only option I know of would be to run a post-process script, but is there any other options that I am unaware of?Thanks!

we are configuring a development environment for our commserve software testing 2 virtual machines running on fast storage Let’s call them (commserv01-dev.company.au & commserv02-dev.company.au) with livesync option installed. We want to use a generic name for the web console of commserv-dev.company.au The Commcell console is named commserv-dev which loads okbut the web console loads commserv01-dev     using this doco I tried to get a multihost Digicert signed certificate for the https binding in iis manager https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/configuring_secured_access_on_web_service_01.htmlIt didn’t work so I had to undo the changes     However I have come across another post which says  that we need to configure for web console and tomcat.   How to configure Commvault Reporting to use HTTPS instead of HTTP ? | Community Do I use the same CA signed certificate in 2 different places but using different ports ? or do we need to use 2 different types of certificate ?One

Hello Commvault Community,  After upgrading the enviroment version from SP24 to SP28, there was a problem with the mechanism for VMware LiveSync. For the SP28 version, information about tags is collected, through which they are replicated/recovered with tags, which we must avoid because we don’t want such a situation. Is it possible to disable this ? Cause its automatically adding to next backup and I'm doubling the resources Thanks,Kamil

Hello, I often have this error on the aux copies, someone has such an idea where it comes from  Error occurred while processing chunk [24954781] in media [V_905802], at the time of error in library [DL1-BNR] and mount path [[XXX03001] F:\], for storage policy [SP-XXX-Servers] copy [YYY] MediaAgent [CCCC]: Backup Job [3886019]. Unable to send the stop data transfer control message to the tail. .

I’m going to guess nobody has contemplated this unless they’ve been with Commvault for eons, but here’s the situation and end-state goal:We have been archiving files on a couple 2 node clusters running on RHEL for years. The cluster consists of multiple virtual clients(each per application group) and the nodes participating in the cluster use the sVCS_SUPPORT reg key to know there’s plugins and such, and to know who owns what. As part of “reducing complexity”, costs, etc., we need or prefer to remove the clustering components.The HW and OS’s are obsolete so migrating the apps and data to new systems but retaining identical names and IP’s. Archiving works well so want to keep stubs as stub if at all possible.The new (destination) servers have new OS’s and no Veritas at all.Rather than rehydrate/recall all the stubbed content, is it possible to simply shutdown old systems, bring up new, and if the new hosts have the same hostname as the old (and obviously the filesystem agent on it), wil

Looking for a way to extract the parameters of storage polices so we can compare the settings.

Hi All,My O365 suddenly having issue to backup mailbox with errors “Throttling from Office 365. Failed to process mailbox due to [Not allowed to access Non IPM folder.]”.Anyone having the same issue?regards,Fauzi

I realise that here in the UK we start daylight savings later than they do in the US, but has anybody else experienced any problems with it? Over the weekend, the majority of our commserves running 11.32 saw a large number (between 40 and 60) SQL Server processes killed within 10 minutes of the start of British Summer Time. This largely went unnoticed as far as the Commvault event log was concerned, although one of them did log a couple of 19:152 errors. This only happened on the commserves running 11.32 - all the ones running 11.24 saw no spids killed. I’ve opened a support case, but was wondering if anybody whose clocks changed last week could check their commserve’s SQL Server errorlog for me for the period immediately after the clocks changed (between 02:00 and 02:10 on 31st March for those in the UK).ThanksNeil 

Hey Guys!Currently we have all our HS X Nodes, one Library, in one Data Center. Now the customer wants the backuped data also available on a secon site, where they want to build up a second HS X cluster, if DC 1 is down, all backup data is available in DC 2. Solution 1, warm standby:How can i push the protected data to the 2nd HS X Cluster besides running Aux copies? Is maybe a CV HS X Feature on the backend for that solution available?Problems with Solution 1: The HSX Nodes are mostly idling, and the primary Cluster has to do all the workloads. Solution 2, striped/cloned HS X Cluster:The HS X Workloads are striped over DC 1 and DC 2, and all protected data has to be available on both sides. Benefit: We can distribute all Workloads over more HS X Nodes.So does exist some kind of (Hedvig) Storage Data replication, to sync two HS X Libraries?Or what solutions would you recommend as the “best” in this case?Thank you!Kr 

Hi Techies,Greetings !Is there any possibility that we can automate daily/weekly repetitive tasks and reduced manual efforts.Here are the few examples:→ Latest backup status information from client or other team members on tickets.→ Virtual Server removal tasks before decommissions request.→ Agent uninstallation and license removal of clients after site decommission.→ Manual retention extension tasks to retain backup till specific date.Here I want to reduce manual efforts and time, please share some ideas to achieve this. Thak you ! 

do we have any report/SQL table represents the Tape drive utilization every hour of the day/week? Found a SQL table dbo.MMDriveHistory with data written & duration but how does commvault calculate tape drive Throughput from this table?

Hi Team,We have a requirement where we plan to take backups of 80+ VMs with approximate data movement of around 300TB+.We would like to know best possible plan for our environment in terms of hardware requirements for commserve and Media agents.What is the minimum number of Media Agents for best performance baseline?

Hi Team, I have written a script that would delete the decommissioned VMs from the commvault. I have 2 questions.As of now my script takes the client id manually to delete the VM. I would want Commvault to detect the decommissioned VM and delete it. Please guide me on how can I add auto detect of decommissioned VMs on my script.  I have to integrate Morpheus API and Commvault API and execute the script from the Jump server from where Morpheus is accessible. As of now, Commvault APIs are running only from Commvault server. How to do this ?

Hi all,After some advice on the following if anyone can help? https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/modifying_salesforce_backup_sets_to_sync_to_database.htmlThe instance where the current Database for the Salesforce Backup Configuration resides needs to be decommissioned.  If I was to change the Commvault configuration to use a new database on a different instance what would be the consequence of this?I would assume a full backup would need to be run of the Salesforce Org to build a new copy in the Database, but would this affect any restore capability for jobs that used the previous database configuration such as record level restores or could this be retrieved from the related backup jobs?  I would think that record level restores would not be possible due to the fact they are only supported in the most recent backup cycle, but is there anything else that requires consideration? Just trying to understand the impact of this operation so any help/advice appreciated. Thanks i

HiGood dayMy backups were running before now, all of a sudden they started failing because of this error: Unable to communicate with remote machine {Linux media Agent} to start data pipe. Please check the following:1. Network connectivity exists between client and remote machineProduct servuces are running on remote machine. Firewall is setup properly between client and remote machine Error [Connection failed on oracle_dba with these errors: 1 Couldn/t complete tunnel connection to tape_linux)server on 192.168.1.112:8413: No route to hostAll these seem like network issues. I tried to add entries into the host files of all clients affected. It still keeps failing. This is the caseI want to backup oracle files and instances to tape, via a linux media agent. The backups ran some days ago, and all of a sudden they have failed with the errors i quoted up here. Someone should help me resolve this challenge. Thanks.

Hi Support TeamHas anyone encountered and resolved an issue where, after replacing a MediaAgent using the app, the new MediaAgent does not appear in the Storage Policy's primary copy? I'm unsure how to fix this and add the new MediaAgent to the primary copy. (The Jobs for replace mediagent showing all completed)Best RegardsTai Nguyen

i dont have a dedicated non-routable backup network, but i can have redundancy and i have multiple VLANs for my clients, so the commvault hyperscale X document says to use Bonded VLAN topology as per below link,https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/expert/determining_network_topology_for_hyperscale_x_reference_architecture_setup.html.my question is, if i still can have a dedicated 1GbE link on my HSX reference architecture node, then can i use that 1 GbE port dedicated for management traffic, like connection to commserv, DNS ? if answer is yes, then does it become Bonded VLAN topology with management network ? however as per topology determination table, we use Bonded VLAN topology with management network when we dedicated non-routable backup network.someone please help to confirm this. 

I have a situation here, after migration from 11.28.72 to 11.32.45, VM which were added using VM rules using VM tags appeared in different subclient of a Vcenter virtual server and it is impacting SLA since now the VM tag issue is resolved and backup in running under one subclient. Now i need to disable backup activity for the client for other subclient except the original subclientcurrently the VM is appearing in only ine subclient of the vcenter virtual server which is JPAWP, and the VM is not available or not showing under any other subclient. But when we check individual VM , it shows multiple backupset/subclient and it is impacting the SLA. Now i need to disable the backup activity for the VM, for specifc backupset/subclient. Do not disable backup activity on client level because the VM is curently backing up in its original subclient.Now i need to disable backup activity for the VM for all the subclient except the orignal subclient which is JPAWP here.I am creating workflow to ac

Hey,Which API endpoint to use to get Storage Policy for a client? My requirement is to get Storage Policy for all clients, preferably without querying for each client individually. For VM client, I can use the /VM endpoint which lists all the VM with their Storage Policy. I need help with FS clients. Thank You.

This is with respect to Oracle clients.This feature is disabled by default, I would assume that there must be a reason as table level restores seems to be an awesome feature.Seems like a huge pro.What are the cons?

Hello Everyone,My network security guru is asking if there is a way to restrict access to the Commcell Console and Admin Console so it can only be accessed on the Commserve server.  I am aware of role based security and the Two-Factor.  But they just want it that the only way to access them is from the one server, or maybe our Jump-boxes that we use to access all our internal servers.  Hopefully someone knows if this is even possible or if we just need to go with Two-Factor and they will have to be happy with that solution.  Thanks for any help.

What this does is a discovery on a hypervisor sub client and creates a vm pseudo client for any discovered virtual machines.The functionality is outlined here:https://documentation.commvault.com/11.26/expert/104558_creating_vm_clients_before_performing_backup_operations.html In practice it looks like this.   Thanks!Chris
