Hi i have a question about DDB assignment.In my environment i have 2 file DDB for same disklibraryI think it was created by mistake when creating a new storage policy. So my question is can i remove (seal) the 1 DDB that i dont need? and will the storage policy using that DDB switch over to the other DDB? they are both under the same Global DDB.the reason this is a problem is that this DDB is located on the comserve nodes and they dont handle this load well. i could of course move the DDB but i would prefer to remove them instead.

HiDuring accessing Commvault Partner university site we getting following error while we are login on partner site Regards
I upgraded from 11.30.80 to 11.32.35 and lost access to the Command Center. After the upgrade, Chrome started reporting “Your connection is not private” and “the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials”. Even though my certificate was still valid, I had my network guy generate a new commandcenter.pfx file using the same password as the old file. I copied the file to D:\program files\commvault\ContentStore\Apache\conf on my web server then stopped and started Tomcat. Now when I attempt to go to Command Center now, I get: 404 Not Found.I *suspect* this is more of an upgrade issue than it is a certificate issue. Does anyone have any suggestion on what to check? I found this post which had the same problem but what worked for them doesn’t seem to help me. If CommVault staff see this, I have ticket 240112-474 opened but don’t seem to be getting any response.Ken

Hi! I am working on VM onboarding PS automation for CV, and I can not find the way how to trigger backup for 1 specific VM (which is final step for onboarding process in our company)The only solution I found is: Backup-CVVirtualMachine, but unfortunately it returns me 404 error.Other ways allow to run backup for Backup Sets only which is not ok for me 😐Is there any other way I missing?Thank you
Hi all!I’ve been trying to solve some issue, but I’m out of ideas already. I’m preparing new Commvault solution for OLVM (Oracle Linux Virtualization, based on oVirt). One of the VMs (let’s name it VM_RDM) has physical RDM disks attached, which are being backed up externally, outside of CV. I need to exclude them from CV backup, but sadly I didn’t find any solution for OLVM.My VM_RDM is backing up properly, but I’m getting status “Backed up with 1/more errors” with description “physical RDM disks are not supported”. I know it doesn’t impact my backups, but is there any way to get rid of this communicate? I can’t use filesystem backup due to requirements. I tried disk filters in “content” page, setting up different plans, subclients etc, but it just doesn’t work. I tried additional setting “IgnoreUnsupportedDisks” (https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/details?name=%22IgnoreUnsupportedDisks%22&id=1318), but it didn’t change anything as well. I found this topic which
