Hello everyone, I looked in the documentation, however, I did not find anything about it. How can I perform DR of on-premise VMware VMs using Google Cloud VMware Engine as target? Are there any restrictions or best practices for implementation? Thanks, 🙂Antonio.

Hi,we have a requirement to restore a list of files (about 1000) from a NDMP Backup (EMC Isilon). The files to be restored are randomly distributed in the file system structere. Is there a possibility to do a restore based on a source file? We have a CSV with Files to be restore (.\path\filename.ext)Or should we better use the “restore-CvClientFileSystem” command?thanks in advance for your help.Alex

Hi Guys,Please someone help me with Commvault document to create One-Way firewall between Commserve and Media agent ?Also, which server we need to keep blocked state and which 1 in restricted state ? What is the logic behind choosing which server to block and which server to keep in restricted state.  

I have a query for deduplication which is enabled when creating a storage policy.The partition path was chosen as a single partition path on a media-agent drive.I took a Full backup of a VM and it wrote some chunks in the HCP S3 Storage.Re-took the same backup again and it wrote more chunks in the HCP S3 Storage even though there wasn’t any change of the “VM content”. How does deduplication play a role here?   

Hi,We’re running into a strange issue with hotadd VM backups.For some VMs we see the error “Failed to download config file” and “Failed to open disk”. This is never for the same VMs over and over again, but sporadic and always for different VMs.We have two SCSI controllers defined on the Proxy and each controller has a “dummy”/”actual” disk as the first disk. (As advised by VMWare: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2075069Has anyone ever seen this issue? Any idea what might be causing it?

I am monitoring the subclients. I see the “enableBackup” in the api for the subclients but notice the job does not run when the instance is not enabled which I can detect visually from the UI but do not see an attribute in the Instance or InstanceProperties API. Is there attribute for the instance enabledBackup?  

Hello all!We do have NDMP backup configured within our environment. The parent path looks like that: /stpbdedcfs101/f3_cifs_dfs_shares09/dfsshares09there was a first fail while creating full backup with this kind of error:  now every next incremental backup does fails with this kind of error:This whole location is still in use and accessible. We have confirmed that while “browsing for new content”While checking logs i have discovered following message: 

Hi Team,I have deconfigured the tape library and reconfigured as new due to some issues with library. Now around 600 barcode details are there under old tape library associated media group.

Recently I have noticed that a number of our Postgress backups have their log file backups writing to a different Storage Policy from the data backups. If I change the log file backups to the same Storage Policy as the Data backups will this cause any problems.

Hi,I am trying to setup vlab for a customer, following documentationhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/33029_creating_restore_as_lab_policy_for_vmware.htmland looking for Lab Gateway ova I got to the image on store.commvualt.comhttps://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/softwarestore/store.do#!/133/617/6118which is very outdated to say at least - both OS and CV version this image is built on, are already EoS. Is there anything newer I can use for gateway?

Hi everyone,We are currently deploying a Commvault environment to protect via VSA a great amount of VMs (almost 6000VMs)VSA proxies are Windows Server 2019 SE VMs that reside on the same cluster that VMs we would like to protect. So transport mode will be HOTADD.We are currently on test phase so as to obtain results and determine the number of VSAs Proxies that finally we will deploy.The environment is the following: Commvault version: v11.24.7 VCSA: VCenter 7.0u2 ESXi Version: 7.0uw VSA Proxies O.S: Windows Server 2019 SE VDDK version used on Backups: 7.0.1As per VMWare documentation says on VMWare 7.0u2 each PVSCSI card on the proxy VSA should be able to mount 64 vmdks of the Backed-up VMs.The issueis that we are monitoring during the backup and each proxy is just able to mount

I would like having a workflow for backing up Postgresql databases and restore a subset to another Postgresql client and instance by using DumpBasedBackupSet.So I started editing a clone of the “Demo_FileSystemBackupRestore”-workflow.I was able to change the “Backup” and “Restore” task to Postgres in ‘dataAgent’ and giving the instances.What I wonder: the field “instance” is of type String - isn’t there a way to fill this field automatically with all the instances of a given client? For we have Postgresql-clusters with several instances running …But where I am definitely stuck is at selecting the database to restore, neither Backup nor Restore include a field for specifying subsets of backuped data.Any hint to put me on the right track is very welcomed.Markus

Hello,I’m trying to find a way to apply backup set level filters for VSA Agents via API.I’m unable to find the XML or JSON on BOL that include the filter section. I can apply the filters at the subclient level via API, but the end goal with the backup set filters is to ensure that VMs that meet the filtered criteria no matter which subclient they are associated to are not backed up.  Backup Set Properties:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/45813_rest_api_post_backup_set_properties.html????????????????????????? Subclient Filters:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/ess

Need to Rename Client Hostname in Commserve console in bulk, around 1500 clients

We have a customer with a number of Oracle RAC instances. The backups are configured to a plan to run at 20:00 every night with Archive logs to run hourly.What we’ve noticed is that when the DB schedule starts, the Archive logs do at the same time. One of the two jobs on the same DB (DB backup/Archive log) will go into a waiting state. When one job finishes, the ‘waiting’ job won’t initiate. You need to suspend and resume it. It seems that something in that process (RMAN?) doesn’t seem to automatically initialise.There are a few things I’ve configured which have helped, but not totally solved the issue.I’ve enabled the option to ‘queue jobs if other conflicting jobs are active’ in the client’s Job Configuration tab.Is there anything else I can set to allow the jobs to not get stuck in this state and if they do, to auto restart?Thanks,Mauro

Hi colleaguesFor a server placed on VMware, I use snapshots with "File system and application consistent" enabled for backup. On this same server is installed MS SQL Server, and also iDataAgen Commvault (iDataAgent) for SQL backup.During VMware snapshot backup for this server, SQL Server reports to me that at the indicated moment of snapshot execution, 5 seconds later, an additional (in addition to the scheduler for MSSQL for iDataAgent) full database backup is run, which are is not included in scheduler for iDataAgent.I checked it and this full SQL backup coincides with the snapshot backup called from a separate scheduler with the options set as above. From the SQL side, it can be seen that the Commvault-syndicated backup for the SQL backup is called on the ‘Commvaut Galaxy Backup” user, and the full backup one connected to the snapshot, is executed on the “NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM” user.Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to disable the exe
