Commvault Cloud Topics

Hi everyone,I am currently performing a hardware refresh/migration from a legacy Media Agent to a new Commvault HyperScale Edge (Single Node).Current Setup: CommServe is on a separate dedicated server. Legacy MA: Windows Server with local disk libraries (NTFS). New Setup: HyperScale Edge (Single Node). Already joined to the CommCell, and the HyperScale Storage Pool is created. Proposed Migration Plan: Since I cannot simply move the DDB/Disk (due to the architecture change to HS Storage Pool), I plan to do a Side-by-Side migration: Create a Secondary Copy on the existing Storage Policies. Set the Target Library as the new HyperScale Storage Pool. Run Auxiliary Copy to sync all data. Once synced, Promote the Secondary Copy to Primary. Decommission the old MA. My Questions: Is this the recommended workflow for migrating to HyperScale? When creating the Secondary Copy, should I expect any specific behavior regarding the DDB association, since the target is a Storage Pool? A

HelloIs the default policy enabled when creating the Exchange plan sufficient for clearing out older messages or mailboxes? Our default retention period is set to one year. However, when I check the Office 365 storage policy and the retention reason, I see "Data Aging Disabled" listed.

For Oracle database backups on Commvault, what is the recommended approach to use retention rules? The recommended approach is to use retention rules based on number of cycles or days? 

Hello,  It’s posibble the installation of Commserve in Suse Linux Enterprise Server 16?

Hi all,we upgraded to the latest release 11.36.33 (from 11.32) and, according to this documentation page (https://kb.commvault.com/article/54270) we should have MongoDB 7.0...but if I check the MongoDB instance that is running now on the commserve, I got release number 6.0.14.Do you have any idea why there is this mismatch ?RegardsGianluca

We are currently running several M365 clients over a resourcepool using a number of access nodes.Is there a way to limit the max amount of streams for a single access node to ensure its not overloaded?example: 100 M365 clients with 10 streams generate up to 1000 streams when run simultanously. However I would like them to be limited to no more than 50 streams per access node., so with 4 access nodes they would never use more than 200 streams in total.I’d rather scale with more access nodes as needed rather than try juggle the correct number of streams on all clients.Currently on Commvault 11.28

We have configured the Cassandra backup and initiated the backup job. The job status shows Running, but the data is not being transferred.We checked the logs, and they are showing Failed.Kindly help us to resolve this issue. I have attached the screenshot for reference.

what is the major difference between CV-BKRC-FT and CV-DR-FT?

Team,One of my customer is on SP20, post discussions we have finally convinced them to move on to the latest SP (as per documentation, the latest LTS is SP40), is it advisable to move directly from SP20 to SP40? what will be impact if this is done? Or do we have to upgrade to SP32? If yes, SP32 is also announced EOL.

I have question . i install new CS v11sp40 choose all in one install. i open Command center on web browser . i try login .it sucess but system return login again . not access to UI interface. Could you please suggest a solution? 

I have removed a client that we didn’t need anymore, but I forgot to first remove it from commvault.Now when the client is gone, I can’t remove it in commvault from the client computers?

Customer is backing Azure NetApp Files. Can they tap on CV managed backup gateway so they dont need to manage any infra?What are the caveats? I understand that the traffic will be going through public endpoints? Any egress charges for customer?

 Question on GUI audit trail. It was my understanding that the audit trail captures all CommCell console gui operations that are being doneon the Commvault environment and many more. The Commvault documentation appear to show this is not the case.  Loading Commvault licence for example is not reflected in the GUI Audit trail.  So if GUI audit trail does not capture these significant changes or config change in the environment, then what Commvault report does it.  I raise this question as it is very important that we have some tracking as to what changes are being done in the environment and if the GUI audit trail does not track everything and no other Commvault feature does then it makes it hard to monitor any changes (unapproved changes ) done in the environment.Thoughts, suggestions and reactions are most welcome

Recently we did a upgrade of Commvault to 11.36 from 11.32. During the update, the update failed on our index server because the disk was full. We freed up some space and was able to complete the update. After the update, everything backs up fine except exchange which is our index server. I have gotten nowhere with support. Is there anything I can look for on the index server or Commvault itself? I am running out of ideas. 

I have an Oracle 12.1 environment and need to keep the archive logs for 24 hours. I tried multiple configurations:Subclients (Default and ArchiveLog): Tested with “Archive Delete” enabled and disabled. Schedule: Tried “Delete Archive Log” with: Older than 1 day and Backed up 2 times. Also tested with these options disabled. Results: The only change occurred when using Older than 1 day and Backed up 2 times, which added the following line:delete noprompt archivelog until time = 'sysdate-1' backed up 2 times to sbt;However, the line:(archivelog all delete input);remains in the script, and I don’t know how to remove it.I will try a custom script, but I prefer a Commvault solution. During my research, I found a possible approach using three subclients:Default: Full backup + archive logs without deleting. Archivelogs: Hourly backups of archive logs without deleting. DeleteArchive: Daily deletion of archive logs.For now, this option is not possible because even with every delete flag disabl

Dear Team, Good day!We currently have a physical server that is acting as both the CommServe and MediaAgent on a Windows platform.We are planning to migrate the entire CommServe role to a Windows-based virtual machine. Additionally, the same physical server will be reconfigured with a Linux operating system to function as a MediaAgent.At present, the disk library mount paths are configured on DAS (Direct Attached Storage) connected to the existing physical server. We would like guidance on how to perform this migration seamlessly, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing backup and restore operations. Regards,Mani D  

Hi all,Could you please advise me on how to back up Microsoft Office 365 (Exchange Online or SharePoint Online) specifically to an on-premise location?I would like to verify if my understanding of the architecture is correct: Access Node: Is it correct that I need to install an Access Node (proxy) within the customer's on-premise infrastructure? I assume this node handles the communication with the Microsoft Cloud and downloads the data.Storage Target: Is the local disk library selected as the destination storage when I Create a Microsoft 365 Plan? I am currently looking at this documentation link: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/software/getting_started_with_exchange_online.html#procedureProcedure: Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for Exchange Online. Add access nodes. Complete the Microsoft 365 service catalog. Create a Microsoft 365 plan. Add the mailboxes that you want to back up. Perform a test backup and restore. Is this the correct p

I need to know whether we can connect an S3-compatible repository provided by the customer (“cloud storage”) to Commvault in order to store additional backups as an “off-site” copy. Technically, we know that the connection is possible in principle, but the issue of encryption arose during the project. Could Commvault encrypt this backup with a separate key that is only available to the customer? It is crucial for the customer that the data is protected by its own key and can only be managed by the customer, rather than being encrypted with the general Commvault key. Otherwise, in the worst case scenario, the customer would no longer be able to access the data and would not be able to decrypt it due to the lack of a key. The question is whether it is even possible to restore data on S3 storage that has been backed up with Commvault without running Commserve.

Good morning, We are new to postgres databases and are implementing our first production cluster soon.  What are you all using for your log backups in terms of scheduling?  We are running in continuous archive mode and currently have backups every 15 minutes.  Even 2G  backups are taking under a minute. What are the considerations for setting this? If our RPO is 5 minutes, would it make sense to backup every 5 minutes, or is that trying to fit Commvault into a high availability box that it is not designed for?If using FSBasedBackups, are you also using regularly scheduled dump based backups?  In what scenario? Thank you very much, this forum has been fantastic!-Chris

I am currently running Commvault version 11.36.80, which manages a VMware vSphere cluster (version 8.0.3) through vCenter (version 8.0.3).I would like to integrate a Proxmox cluster (version 9.0.1) into this environment.When attempting to upgrade Commvault to version 11.40.26, I receive a prompt indicating that the SQL Server must be upgraded first.Below are the steps performed for upgrade SQL Server: SQL Server 2022 Express Edition: When I install SQL Server 2022 Express Edition, I am able to successfully upgrade Commvault to version 11.40.26.   SQL Server 2022 Standard Edition: When I install SQL Server 2022 Standard Edition, everything appears to complete successfully, but afterwards I am unable to upgrade Commvault to in any way.     Q1: Can Commvault version 11.40.26 run reliably with SQL Server 2022 Express Edition without any limitations or known issues? Additionally, are there any specific prerequisites or considerations for using SQL Server 2022 Standard Edition with Commvau

The master server is currently using v11 sp14,I'm trying to install the client redhat 9.7 version, but can't I support it? If not, which version of sp can I support it from?

Hi guys!I need your help.I am trying to use AirGap Workflow to set proxy cennection between MediaAgent ‘cvmakrk01’ and CommCell Infrastructure.I have created following computer groups.  Then I have created the following Networktopology for AirGap workflow. My goal is to push Commvault to use ‘cvproxy’ client to set tje network connnection between MediaAgent ‘cvmakrk01’ and Commvault infrastructure anf the use AirGap workflow to turn on ‘cvproxy’ only for the time of AuxCopy jobs.However, I can see, than even if the ‘cvproxy’ is powered off, the Check Readiness still shows me that ‘cvmakrk01’ is ready.        MountPath Validation and AuxCopy job runs as normal.What is important, I tnink, CommServe LiveSync is configured in my environment, so I can also that ‘makrk01’ uses LiveSync network topology for communication. Probably this is the reason, why ‘cvmakrk01’ is always ready. Is any way to set the ‘cvmakrk01’ to ignore LiveSync proxy client and use only ‘cvproxy’ client to communicatio

Hi Team,From last couple of days HANA Backup is getting failed.In the Client system showing two instances (instance001 & instance002). Instance001 services is stopped & we are not seeing commserve entry. Instance002 services is up & running, all the relevant data is visible.CVD port in Instance001 is showing 8400 & 8401 is showing in instance002.While trigging backup job in the logs we are seeing CVD port 8400 & job is getting failed. One more point post agent upgrade we are facing this issue. we upgraded agent from 11.28 to 11.36.
