We have moved a tape drive from one media server to another media server. When configuring the tape drive in the commvault, do we have to deconfigure the old tape drive configuration in the commvault. If so does the assigned tapes on the old media servers loose the data?

Hello All,We're looking into implementing Air Gap protect as outlined here:https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/air_gap_protect.htmlwe understand the principle behind air gapping and what the benefits are, however I’m wondering what does the air gap protect storage actually do? If we are already configuring an air gap between systems such as with a network topology, or for example with VM power management, ect… then what does the air gap storage do exactly? Say versus just any other type of cloud storage? thanks!Lani

Hello Team,We are planning to configure O365 backup using Commvault in an on-premises environment.Please advise the hardware requirement of Media agent, access node & indexing and any other prerequisites.We have deduplication hardware appliance that will use of Disk library.The access node we are planning to keep in DMZ environment, so that what are the ports communication is needed from internal and o365 communication also.And please let me know the deduplication and compression will use Commvault end or external storage appliance. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I am trying to add a VM Filter via API for the Backup Set - how to achieve this via API?

Hi CommunityI hope someone can help with below issue.I am trying to create a ddb partition on a Linux media agent with encrypted disk.While creating the partition I get the error like when the 10% free is not available.It looks like the labelling process is not handling the encrypted volume name well. Is this a known issue and is there a workaround for this?IdxLabelUtil::main() - Started with parameters: [-op checkminvgspace -ict 2 -dst /ddb/psql_prod_ddb_p1 -cn xxxxxxxxxxx -vm Instance001]IdxLabelUtil::main() - Performing operation: [CHECKMINVGSPACE].IdxLabelUtil::ProcessMinVGSpace() - Checking Free Extents for DDB Snap Capability for path[/ddb/psql_prod_ddb_p1].IdxLabelUtil::checkMinVGSpace() - User given path = /ddb/psql_prod_ddb_p1IdxLabelUtil::checkMinVGSpace() - Parent = /ddbIdxLabelUtil::checkMinVGSpace() - Mount Point found[/ddb] for path[/ddb/psql_prod_ddb_p1].IdxLabelUtil::checkMinVGSpace() - Device fou

Hello, I’d like to use a SAN data server to present the several LUNs, coming from SAN storage, to two different MediaAgent.The question is: on SAN data server, have I to use LVM, to create volume group, logical volume and lhe filesystem, to group these LUNs and then share the mount path to the Media Agents?If so, I think there is a filesystem size limit that cannot be exceeded for a single volume and consequently the corresponding mount path configured on the SAN data server and shared to the Media Agents.Another question: could I configure one of the two media agents as a san data server?Thanks and regards

Hello All, Can the backup target of Netapp FAS Storage be managed by two Commcell IDs? , is this a support model of Commvault IntelliSnap through AIQUM?  Thank you,Sukanksha

Hi,I am planning on moving a CommServe to Azure.As part of my planning I will make sure that once the CommServe is migrate to Azure it can talk to the Media Agents & Clients on ports 8400-8403 and vice versa. I will also have ports 80 & 443 open so I can connect to the Web Console. Am I missing again ?  Thanks  

Hi,I have just migrated my mailboxes to o365 and I am using Metallic to back them up.There is now a need to enable Journaling on o365 so can Metallic backup / archive this mailbox ? What are others doing that have a similar config to mine.Thanks 

Hi,When making an inplace upgrade of an Windows server from for ex. 2012R2 to 2022. Does Commvault see that as a new server when calculating the Capacity Licenses in use for Commvault Backup and Recovery?

Hello Commvault community,Ιn case it needs to be implemented GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) for VMware / Azure VMs workloads, what is the preferred tier to use in Azure?I assume that hot tier is ideal for daily backups (with 7-14 days retention), but what about  weekly backup jobs with 180 days+ retention ?Can hot tier combined with cool tier or must create a new cool/cold container (with new DDB) for these weekly backup jobs? To split daily backups → hot tier and weekly backups -->cool / cold tier.What is the best approach for this case? Please for your feedback,Nikos

Hi Team,We have facing issue in our commvault infra. While running auxillary copy job media marked as appendable its not full , after appendable is not reusableThis appendable media is not full, also tape is getting stuck inside the drive,if we can reuse this appendable tape without erase the existing data(because we data retention in 5 years) please share any solution for this issue

Hello Team,This is the new implementation of Commvault VM backup on KVM environment.VM's are running application and Oracle DB.Our requirement is mentioned in below:How to take VM's image backup from KVM virtualization and what are the pre-requisites needed. Is it supported IntelliSnap feature on KVM environment. How to take backup of Oracle DB using RMAN. Currently we have only Commvault Backup & Recovery For Virtual Machines license. No capacity based license.Thanks in advance. 

Hi Team, I want to see schedule policy which is assigned or which ran for a VM backup job. From ComcellBackupInfo, i am able to get all the details related to Backup job but only schedule name is not available. Is there any other databse or table using which we can fetch this information.

Hello All,I am using restore validate workflow. IT worsk fine on standalone nodes. When I try is on MS SQL Always on it fails. Does COmmvault support it on MS SQL AG?

The goal on our Linux file server is to replace the current /project1/ directory with new /project1/ directory, all the same data, but the data stored on different back-end storage. All of this data is backed up by Commvault with the Linux File Server Agent but not doing block level backups.However, when doing a test, we discovered that Commvault will back up the data again after its moved back to the new /project1/test/ directory, even though the data is exactly the same (same file sizes, modified dates, etc).I populated a folder on the file server /project1/test and created a Commvault sub-client for only that directory. I ran a manual full backup, which backed up 344MB of data.Then I ran the following commands (as root on the linux file server)rsync -avHxAPS /project1/test/ ~user/temp/Removed /project1/test/ using:rm -fr /project1/test/Synced the data back from /temp/rsync -avHxAPS ~user/temp/ /project1/test/Reinitial

Does anyone know which URLs need to be reachable by a Commcell for an access node for EntraID backups?  These are the URLs I know, but perhaps there are more or this information is incorrect or outdated. I can't find anything about it in the documentation.https://graph.microsoft.com/https://developer.microsoft-tst.com/https://login.microsoftonline.com/Thanks in advance.

Hi, Have installed a new 11.34 and need to move the CS to a new domain. How can I change the CS hostname in CommandCenter?I manage to change it under Manage - Servers - CS client - hostname, I clicked save and it did not complain. But it also did not change the previous hostnamne. Documentation for 11.34 still refers to Commcell Console which requires a supportcase to get an authcode. Br, /Patrik
