Hello,to backup our vcenters in liked mode, we have a script that connect to each esxi that host the vcenter, shutdown the vcenter, perform the backup through Commvault api, then start the vcenters.there is no schedule policy on these subclients adfter migrating to plan,there is a schedule policy inside the plan.on the VMgroup (ex subclient)How can I disable the schedule to avoid this VMgroup backed up automatically by Commvault and let the script schedule the backup (ansible)  ?Thanks

Customer has setup Private Metric server for having reports beyond the Storage policy retention.  He is running the job summary report which to connect to commserve (CommserveDB), he got this updated to Metric server and CVCloud DB, however the jobs reported as still the same as before. (no data beyond SP retention). Customer Ask:  backup history data beyond SP retention till last one year.  i have found the below community posts relating to the issue but not addressing it directly.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/aging_job_history_data.html Also found the below link for retention settings for metric server, however unable to find a way to add the job summary report hereConfiguring Retention Settings for Metrics Reports Data (commvault.com) Any information regarding the ask is appreciated.

We normally order LTO-7 “Type M” formatted tapes. We have a partial shipment came in that is only LTO-7 formatted not ‘Type-M’ (per the label, these have L7 at the end of the label), BUT the tape properties of these tapes (as seen in Commvault) say "Type" and "Format" on the media indicates ULRIUM-V8.I want to “prove” CommVault will not have any issues with some tapes we received when it tries to write to them. Currently we now have a mix in our library of these L7 tapes and unused/half full M8 tapes, which is why I wanted to have proof by actually having CommVault pick the L7 tape and write data to it.I tried doing a “Verify” on the tape (not the drive) and CommVault has this in the job logs, which makes me think CommVault will not use these tapes as they may have already been Type-M formatted, but mislabeled with a LTO-7 label?"The verify response string is [Media in library [TPO Tape Library], slot [slot 51] does not have a valid media label which means that it was not written to by

We’ve got several systems that backup a single drive. There are several mount points within that drive.Is there a way to figure out the backup duration for individual mount points instead of the whole backup job?I haven^t found any hints in the logs yet.

Hello CV Community We have four virtual Media Agents which work in a Windows Hyper-V environment.  Its come to our attention recently that they are failing a VM level backup.  This is due to them having Virtual Fibre channels which are mapped directly to storage.  I cant see anyway of filtering out vFC’s and as a result the backup is failing.  My main questions are  Is it good practice to backup the Media Agents on a weekly basis? If it is, how do I exclude the fibre channels?  The issue seems to be it cannot create a snapshot due to the integration of Virtual Fibre Channels.May thanksTony Q

When restoring an Azure VM from Commvault using snapshot restore, where the disk names are getting changed. We want to prevent this without changing the disk name. Our infrastructure uses Terraform tool which expect resources to adhere to a predefined naming convention.. In the terraform next execution, If the disk name is changed after restore. Terraform automation will remove the restored disk and create a new empty one as per the standard defined.Can you please suggest a solution to prevent disk name changes during the restore process?

Hi,I can’t find any documentation on what to actually enter for the “Excluded from SLA” alert token criterion.  It seems like it’s probably a boolean, but what do I actually enter?  The words ‘True’ or ‘False’? “Y’ or ‘N’? 1 or 0?Thanks!Sheree

To repair a highly corrupted OST file without facing any problems. So, you can use Softaken OST Recovery Software. If the OST file is severely corrupted or cannot be repaired, but with this software you can recover and restore the OST file so that it can be used again. In addition, the software can retrieve HTML-formatted user emails and attachments. It is vital to keep a backup of your OST file to avoid data loss in the event of corruption.

Good morning!This is Stefano, nice to meet you all! I have a weird issue with an IntelliSnap backup on a VMware subclient. When Snap Backup starts, if fails after 40 seconds with the error:“91:44 Error getting datastore list for snap. Possible reason includes virtual machine spread across multiple datastores with multiple vendors.”and also“91:488 Unknown error [0] reported from VMInfo for [xxxxxxxxxxxx]. [Unknown VMInfo error [0]]”I only have 1 datastore so all VMs are on it. I already raised a case with CommVault support and the only solution they provided is to reboot the ESXi host. This is a workaround, not a permanent solution. After the ESXi reboot Snap backup start working again.Today I have again the issue, and this time I cannot restart the host so easily.. Anybody knows what is happening here?My infrastructure is:VMware host: HPE server with ESXi 7.0.3Media Agent: HPE server with Windows 2022VMware storage: PURE storageeverything is connected with fibers and connectivity is ma

Looking to upgrade Commvault with inplace OS Upgrade as well as upgrading MSSQL install during CV Upgrade.The Order of operation i have come up with is:Upgrade Windows Server from 2012R2 to 2019 (inplace) following docs provided here: Performing a Seamless Upgrade on a CommServe Computer (commvault.com) Upgrade MSSQL and CV (from SP16 to 11.24/2022E then to 11.32 (LTS). Questions I have: Are Windows Server 2019 and SP16 compatible? Can I do an inplace upgrade of CV and MSSQL at the same time? Will Components such as the Webserver, Mail Archive Server and Media Agents (on seperate Servers running SP16) still work with the CS being on 11.24/11.32? Happy to hear any advice on this. Cheers,Philip

Hello, I'm trying to use the API for virtual machine backup. When I run the Go Lang API sample, the API call works, but the JSON response appears to be not in correct format, as shown in the example below.}7101"d":2706,"jobIds":[I tried changing the "Accept" and "Content-Type" headers to XML to see if I could receive the response in XML, but this does not work for this API, despite working for a few other APIs.However, when I do this API call using POSTMAN, I get a JSON response in format.{ "taskId": 2655, "jobIds": [ "7045" ]}What seems to be the issue here?
