Commvault Cloud Topics

Hello Commvault community,I would like to talk about “Virtual Machine(s) has been decommissioned” alerts.I see that Commvault can understand when a VM is decommissioned.So, in order to safe a Commvault license for this decommissioned VM, I need to manual remove it from VM group or Commvault can handle that automatically?Moreover, it is also necessary to delete the history / previous VM backup jobs (for this decommissioned VM), so stop to consume Commvault VM license?Best regards,Nikos

Hello all!  I am facing a problem with capacity licence.I have exceeded 110% while creating backup for end of year export.But we have done housekeeping after that, and now we are about 92%, please have a look:In web console, I also can see this chart:but still I get a warning on console:And it forces me to reset it every 96h… The system is running at this 92% consumption for about 5 days. Today i have found this in web console in other place…

Hi Team, Which agent types have "Validate" options for restore operations? Is there a document page where I can see this in general?File System Agent Example: Microsoft SQL Agent Example: 

There used to be a command in the documentation using which I used to increase the number of rows in the reports, which is by the way set to maximum 10000 rows. I know that we can go past 10000 using reports in command center or web console. But here I am asking about the same to be done in commcell console reports. I know there was a command and I used that several times. But now its nowhere to be found. Does anyone remembers that?

can anyone help me know the difference between Difference between retention lock ,Enabling WORM , compliance lock if we execute enable retention lock workflow will we be able to disable it later ?   

Hello Team,Just want to check, our requirement is that to take backup of 200 vms on nutanix with vmware environment. All the VMs are replicating with Nutanix to 2nd site. We want take backup of Commvault those vms.Pls advise best practise using network based or snap based backup on this environment.We are using hyperscale 3 nodes.Some of the vms want to take application aware backup. And what is the best process will follow ransomware protection on Hyperscale environment.Thanks in advance. 

Just to make sure. When does Commvault software start counting days for the purpose of expiring jobs on secondary copies? When backup jobs are immediately available on them? 

Hi,We are going to setup HyperScale X to our customer. As you know they need to create DNS records. Customer said they will do DNS records but they have a question for Active Directory integration. They are using IDM server for adding Linux servers to Windows AD. Question is;Is it possible to add HyperScale X nodes to AD with IDM?

Hello everyone!I’m facing an issue with a 1-Touch restore for Active Dicrectory domain controllers.We have the same issues in our lab and in customer production environment.Backups are completed fine, with system state selected (no issues).During the 1-Touch restore (authoritative for first DC and non-authoritative for secondary) we see few files from SYSVOL which failed to restore as below: “\[System State]\Components\DFS Replication services\C\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\DfsrPrivate\ConflictAndDeleted\   [DATA]   [ Reason:    FAILED ]   ->   (Failed)\[System State]\Components\DFS Replication services\C\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\DfsrPrivate\Deleted\   [DATA]   [ Reason:    FAILED ]   ->   (Failed)\[System State]\Components\DFS Replication services\C\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\DfsrPrivate\Installing\   [DATA]   [ Reason:    FAILED ]   ->   (Failed)\[System State]\Components\DFS Replication services\C\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\msl.loc

What’s the best practice in applying / installing hotfix?

Hello all,Considering that currently Commvault basically supports only infinity retention for o365 backup services, what will be the preferred / cost optimized choice of blob tier? As Disk Storage in a Azure MediaAgent.Hot, Cool or Cold?  Please for your feedback, thoughts!Best regards,Nikos

Hi All,We are using Commvault as part DR plan to restore an EC2 application server in AWS.Our RTO is 4 hours.Will we be able to acchive this RTO?Size max 2 TB EC2 server and minimum 250 GB EC2 server. Regards,Rahul

I have a ticket open for this already, but a number of Commvault techs seem to be stumped, so figured I’d post here. We have a single all-in-one windows commcell server, that is airgapped and has no direct internet access. We use it solely to back up desktops and notebooks, so we have deployed the Windows Edge Monitor agent to all of them. I thought that if you downloaded a new MR, and ran the install, not only does it stop the services, do all the hotfixes, and restart the services - that it should also update the software cache so you’ll be ready to update your Windows laptop agents as soon as it is done. This does not appear to be the case, as we just did this, and while the new version number appears in the command center dashboard as well as the bottom of the commcell console, there are no newer agent versions appearing in the software cache. If we try to do a copy software job to add the newer MR to the software cache, commvault will fail th

We have setup the Commvault Server in Azure cloud and tried to take the VM backup from the on premise .But getting the error as “”Error Code: [91:449]Description: Error opening     the disks for virtual machine [TestAPVP001].

The media agent goes offline after a while. Restarting the services on the media agent resolves the problem temporarily, but it goes offline again after some time. All server groups are in the same VLAN. We recently transitioned to this system, using Exagrid84 as the backup storage. I have two media agents, one virtual and the other physical (named comm-media and comm-media1, respectively). This setup has been working smoothly for about 2 months. In an effort to reduce backup times, I prepared another virtual media agent and added it to Commvault. However, when I shared it as a third media agent to the Exagrid84 mount paths, both the paths and the comm-media agent went offline.While installing the Commvault agent on the third virtual machine, despite having .NET 4.7 on a Windows Server 2016, it prompted an error saying it should be version 3.5. Upon checking the working comm-media server, I noticed it wasn't installed, so I installed .NET 3.5 on both machines. La

 Does anyone have experience with creating Reports in Command Center using RestAPI?When you schedule a Report in Command Center you have the possibility to have it give you the RestAPI equivalent.By modifying that code to our needs (e.g. different Report name & recipients) we want to create Reports “automatically” with the API.As we need to create many Reports quite often (as we run a Multitenant environment) a potential API usage would save us a lot of time.When I try the POST command with the adjusted JSON payload to the URL mentioned (see screenshot below) it doesn’t work, no error, just nothing happens, so I’m wondering if there is something I’m missing. 

Hi Team,I edited a report in Command Center but I no longer see the Preview, Save, Deploy options.Please help.ThanksFrank

Hello,opening a new thread becaus i couldn´t find anything covering my situation specifically.My client wants to upgrade his ComCell from SP16 to 11.32. I am aware, I have to upgrade to 2022E first and then 11.32 second. At the same time the underlying OS 2012R2 is supposed to be upgraded to 2019. The SQL Installation needs to be upgraded as well. Is there a best practice recomendation on the order of operation?Is it realistic to go well with doing all of this in place or would you recommend instaling everything on a new system and then moving the CommCell over to that new system via DR? Cheers for any recommendations!

Hello,  we are using intellisnap backups to protect AWS EC2 instances however even though we set spool copy (no retention), the snapshot is not deleted after data aging runs (and completes without any issues). One snapshot is always left. Could anyone advise, please, if it is expected or something is not working properly?
