Hello I need to migrate an existing commserve with mediaagent role to a new site/server.During the migration both existing and new commserve should remain active for backups for about three months. Then old commserve will just be preserved for legacy restores.How can this be best achieved without buying a seperate license for new commserve? Thanks
Hi,I want to use Commvault to backup Azure DevOps. I don’t have the option “DevOps” however under “Protect” in Command Center, as described here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/add_azure_devops_app.html (just doing a pre-check).How can I get the option to add the Azure Devops App? Or will the option be there after I have installed the necessary software (Cloud Apps) on the proxy server?Thanks!
Hello,Maybe a dumb question but is it possible to do 1-Touch restoration by a Network Gateway ?Regards,Fabrice

Good evening, we have noticed some discrepancies with Commvault backup logs in that we are unable to view failed backup logs for an specific Oracle server. It seem that when a backup is successfully rerun, the logs are overwritten, and when you try to view them the logs are not available. Is this a known function? RegardJohan
We are running 11.28.36 in AWS environment. The commserve sits in a Management VPC and Couchbase is running in our Production VPC. In the Production VPC, we have a media server (proxy server) that runs VM and Cassandra backups to a local S3 bucket.I have the URL for the Couchbase API Server and an admin userid/pass.I am looking for what ports are required from the Proxy(Media server) to the Couchbase server(s). We have a tunnel setup so that we can load the Couchbase software on the required servers, ThanksChuck
Hello everyone,a customer contacted us and reported that the VSS files on the domain controller were bloated on C:\System Volume Information. He suspects either Commvault or VMware. I looked at several things but couldn't come to a clear conclusion. Maybe someone here knows this behavior and can give me a tip for the solution if this comes through Commvault. Kind RegardsThomas
The upgrade to the latest maintenance release failed. I believe it is because Commvault thinks it is running Centos7. Can I change the OS information in Commvault or do I have to remove the client and re-add it?Thanks,Tuesday
I’ve installed CV2023e on Windows 2022 server. Connected a Fujitsu Eternus LT40S2 however CV is unable to configure the library. See images. OS detects the library. What could be the issue? REgards,
Hello experts,My datacenter has physical servers HP proliant dl 380 gen 8.I performed full backup of windows server 2012 which was successful and trying to do 1-touch bare metal restore in other server of same model, it just keeps progressing endlessly as shown in the picture.NOTE: The bare-metal restore for same server to esxi is successful but not to the physical server. Will appreciate any help.
This file was created in one of the backup chunk folders of our deduplicated disk backups on a media server and was flagged by antivirus. The file no longer exists and I’m certain this was created (and subsequently deleted) by Commvault to script some sort of storage/disk operation but was curious if anyone could confirm. Thanks.
We have several remote offices in the Asia-Pacific region. We are interested in deploying a Media Agent at AWS to service those locations. These locations don’t have VPN access to AWS so we would need to send data securely from on premise servers in the several countries to the media agent for long term storage. Servers are small, windows servers, generally less than 2TB of file data with small rates of change. No VMs.I am looking for some help to configure networking from the on premise servers to the Media Agent at AWS.
Hi,the customer would like to use one plan for backup both: filesystem and database. The problem is that in ‘Add backup frequency’ He can choose only between ‘all agents’ and ‘databases’. It means when we have two actions: incremental at 5PM and differential for databases at 7PM it triggers SQL database differential backup twice at 5PM and 7PM. He tried to modify schedule in CommCell console but he gets an error ‘failed to modify task’’.So the main problem is that we can choose only between all agents and databases. We can’t choose granular. Does it mean that for fileservers and databases we should use separate plans? Regards,Lukasz
I am getting “Internal error occurred -5” on Readiness Check on several clients after the 11.32.35 upgrade. Backup seems to be working still, but we can’t have this “false positive” alert every day.(Upgrade was done 4 days ago, so I don’t think it is something that will go away “by itself”.)We have tried restarting the commvault services on the clients, also the commvault repair option. No improvement.Anyone know what could be the cause? 🖖
Hello Commvault Teamwhy Commvault drop the support of Netapp Active IQ Unified Manager (AIUM aka OCUM) 9.11 ? Active IQ Unified Manager (AIUM) 9.11 is not supported https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/33744_system_requirements_for_netapp_storage_array.html by Netapp documentation it seems that AIUM 9.11 have the same functionality of previous versions https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/active-iq-unified-manager-911/data-protection/concept_manage_and_monitor_protection_relationships.htmlhttps://docs.netapp.com/us-en/active-iq-unified-manager-910/data-protection/concept_manage_and_monitor_protection_relationships.html Regards Federico
We have 1 FREL for each VMware cluster we’re using on CV 11.20.We’ve noticed the FREL trying to reach public IP addresses with NTP packets but we cannot allow that through our firewall.I logged onto the linux console but found that the ntpd service was not active and then it occurred to me that as an appliance, the configuration should be applied by the Commvault client.We have a highly available NTP service available that I’d like to point these clients at and would appreciate some guidance on how to configure them.
Good morning. We’re considering MS SQL Server always-on using the new 2022 feature “Contained Availability Groups” This feature adds an MSDB and Master database to the AG group, which allows jobs and users to be synced between machines. Is this functionality currently supported? How might it work for restores/backups? Thanks- Chris

Good Day @everyone,quick question,we’re trying to move the s3dfsRootDir for Live Mount Operations to a dedicated drive.When Specifying the key: https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/details?name=s3dfsRootDiras an additional setting to the Mediaagent, we are not able to specify the location. If we put a value like D:\3dfscache into the key, the GUI displays, that the string is outside of the dictionary values. So I left the value “string”… But I am completely unsure where to define the actual location.Does someone struggle this behaviour?Best regards
