Hello,we have a set of auxiliary copies which replicate the data that we backup on-premises with our own CommCell server to a cloud-based mediaagent connected to an S3 repository.The primary copy is done right, and in time, however, auxiliary copies never reach the end, instead we are constantly getting 13:138 error codes until the task fails. These are the details: Error Code [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [13:138] [40:109] Error occurred while processing chunk [1171846] in media [V_201937], at the time of error in library [Eseries2800] and mount path [[win-backup] C:\Librerias\Eseries\Vol07], for storage policy [Oracle] Unable to send the stop data transfer control message to the tail..

Hi,i have created a new V2 Virtual Server Agent sublient to backup my vCenter VMs.I miss this option like you see at the screenshot.In my V1 Virtual Server Agent i see this option.Is this normal? I set this option because i backup my fileserver and i want to have the possibility to restore single files from tape. Collect File DetailsSelect this option to collect file and folder information as part of streaming backups and IntelliSnap backup copies. Use this option when creating a copy for tape storage, because file and folder information is required when recovering files from tape.RegardsDennis

Good Morning All, i have an question regarding the download aof dr backups from the cloud.commvault.com portal in case of DR. We are using the feature Uploading DR Backups to Metallic Cloud. So in the case when all services are offline included the exchange or mailing function wich option we have to get the dr backup from commvault ? As per documentation Requesting Download Access for DR Backup SET Folders of a CommCell Environment (commvault.com) after the login and the download request an mail will send. But in case that the mailing is not working what can we do ? Is it possible to create an user account in the cloud.commvault.com with an external mail adress so that we have access to the dr backups incase that mailing on prod site is not working ? If yes it is also possible to do this for casp customers ?
I have a subclient with a single 4.6TB file, that will only get larger. Since it’s one file I don’t think additional data readers are going to help. I’m wondering if anyone has come across this challenge and has some tuning suggestions. The client is Linux and the filesystem of this file is in 4K blocks. Based on that I didn’t think increasing network agents from 2 to 4 or increasing application read size to say 4MB would help but I tried anyway and no increase in performance during testing.The target storage does dedup and compression, so it’s currently off at the client level.
Seems I don’t see this option during SP creation. I also don’t see any information about this in the rest API docs.I’m referring to this option.
Good Day Dear Community,I have a customer having several CommCells that they are using a main CommCell to manage all licenses of their CommCells. So I could not figure out if this is through a Global CommCell or a GRC (Global ComMCell Repository). But now I need to do a hardware refresh of their main CommServe.So either if they’re using GRC or Global, is the CommServe hardware refresh the same as a traditional CommServe? Or is there something else I should be aware of?I plan on using a simple backup/restore of the CommServe server on a server with same hostname/IP.Many thanks in advance for your input.
A few weeks ago I stumbled across the fact that I wasn’t running any DDB Verification jobs. When I look into this further, I found other “System Created” jobs that aren’t doing anything. Picture for reference: Some do work, some do nothing.Question: Should all these “System Created” schedules actually do something? It seems to me that if they’re part of the backup system and are created automatically, that they should be there for a reason and should be doing some work. Is it ever OK to have System Created schedules that don’t do any work?Ken
Hello Team,We are configuring Software cache to upload downloaded installation package. While copying software unable to show local drives. This is the greenfield installation and configured Commserve failover option.Please advise.
Hi,Do I need a mail-enabled Teams Administrator account, temporarily without MFA, only for the configuration of the Office 365 Teams App in Command Center, or also later for backups or restores? I have a working Teams backup, but nowhere in Command Center I see a Teams Administrator account configured. The “Global Administrator” field in the Configuration tab is empty, and I am able to perform backups and restores.If I can just delete the Teams Administrator account after configuration, that's of course always safer. Thanks!
I was using a different backup solution before(Backup using Tape Library)After purchasing a new CommVault, you install CommserveCan CommServe recover tape that was previously backed up from a different solution?
Hi Community,We are confused here, as we are planning to deploy Redhat Open Shift 4.13, we have checked for Commvault support.We could see the message OpenShift feature is deprecated :But another document says it will support:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/124720_system_requirements_for_kubernetes.html Could you please clarify on this and also please share if you have any document for OpenShift setup/Configuration.Thanks
Hello everyone! This is a generic set of questions to understand and share information on what are you guys doing regarding restore validation and testing. Any specific feature from Commvault that helps with that? Running workflows to automate those tasks? How often to run restore validation (validate only option). Does anyone uses that Validate Restore workflow from the Commvault store? Test restore using a subset from the whole universe? Let's consider VMware, Windows FS, Linux FS, Oracle. Regards!Pedro
We can automatically upload copies of DR backups to the Commvault Cloud Services website. To Upload backup metadata to Commvault cloud we should toggle key for Upload backup metadata to Mettalic cloud. Right? What does the option Upload backup metadata to cloud library do?
Hello,as far as I remember there was a workflow to convert policies (schedule and storage) to plans. It seems to be not available any more. Is there an easy way to convert? Thanks.
Does the DDB Verification Job do an equivalent work as The Data Verification Job? Is there any difference between them? I picked a job for Data Verification, but I didn't run Data Verification operation from Storage Policy All Tasks menu and today I realize that the picked job was verified. There are some schedule policies to run a Incremental Verification of existing jobs on disk and deduplication database. And there is menu option to run a Data Verification from Storage Policy.
Hi everyone,I’m using powershell to automate the send logs file for a specific job in commvault. I want send these logs to a specific local path in the server, but according to the this documents Send-CVLogFile (commvault.com) the available option is to email. So my question is, there’s another way using powershell or other api to do this? Thanks.
Is there any way to poll/monitor the number of currently active Job Streams via CLI/API?We can see that value in the bottom part of the CommCell browser but I couldn’t find in the technical documentation any way to collect that value through some automated mechanism.Thank you!
What is the difference between protected and unprotected in kubernetes backup. When we start kubernetes backup, some namespace is protected state and some namespace is not protected state, is it possible to restore unprotected namespace?
Hi all. When looking in the Command Center under the Health Report, there is a section called “Scale Statistics” which displays me this: “Commserv database size is 64.25 GBThe CommServe database tables are too large.RemarksThe CommServe may be running beyond allowed scale limits. Needs immediate attention” I regularly as recommended by Commvault run the DBmaintenance, but this does not change anything. The setup have been running fine, but I’m just wondering if I should react on this. Regards-Anders
Hi Team, Could anyone help me understand why i could be seeing this errors on an oracle restore job. Considering the backup i am restoring from is from 1st which is recent, and the data verification for the job in the storage policy shows successful. The mediaagent is ready and the storage mountpaths associated to the job are also ready...other files are getting restored on the same job which tells me its not a communication issue but these ones it seems are not found? so i’m not sure if the job will complete successfully. I’m looking for any ideas on what i can check on?29410 72e2 10/06 11:29:26 474484 OraBackupRestoreBase::NewArchive() - Getting new CvDeMuxArchive for archFileName=[]...29410 72e2 10/06 11:29:26 474484 CVArchive::Construct() - Constructing CVArchive Object.

Hi guys!I’m newbie here and trying to write a sql statement on commserv database returning all clients where operating system is MS Windows. It’s not a big deal - i’ve got something like belowSELECT id, componentNameId,attrName,attrVal FROM [CommServ].[dbo].[APP_ClientProp] where attrName='Operating System Name' and attrVal like 'Windows%';Now i would like to join table or view where information about installed agent/components are kept. I mean when you click on a commcell brower and expand client computes you can see Any idea where, in what table/view installed software on a particular clients can be found?I’m expecting results like: Or maybe i should use reports- if so what kind?Regards,Michal
