Some great answers on my previous posts so trying my luck with this one! If the entire Commvault environment were to be destroyed,  CommServe, Media Agents, VSA’s deleted for example but DR backups of the CommServe Databases held on a functioning file server. Can Commserve be reconstructed, and the Databases reimported (thinking definite yes for this!) Same machine name and IP? The tricky one now! Can a Linux Media Agent be manually rebuilt (yes) BUT can it access and use backups that were written to a NFS share by the previous Media Agent? Obviously, all Index Cache and DDB database that was on this machine will have been obliterated OR may actually be also backed up on the same NFS share by the scheduled DDB, index server backups that will have run.  Lastly the actual CommServe, Media Agents and VSA components will also have been backed up by Commvault in VM based backups and also held on NFS storage. Can these be resurrected from the dead?Is there a flow chart or process on how to a

Hi guys,I’m trying to deploy FSO following the official online documentation of Commvault but no luck.From guided setup during the wizard, I’m able to configure successfully the index server, but when I try to set up the inventory I’m getting following error:{"errorMessage":"Failed to create inventory [qwerty]","errorCode":1013} I also tried to configure the inventory from Activate/Settings/Inventory manager and then Add inventory button, but it fail to create the inventory: ! Failed to configure inventory My Commvault environment is on 2023 platform release Version 11.30.36.Any idea on what could be leading to this problem? JSousa

Hello,I need to create a workflow that performs push network configuration to the client. Do any of you have such a workflow and could share it with me, or is anyone able to direct me how to do this? Thank you very much in advance for your help! 

Hello,I'm not sure if compression/dedupe savings for this DB is fine. Actually, it seems poor… any ideas on what it could be? It's not a special DB…The online fulls are below 30% in savings. Incrementals and archive logs are above 50% in general..Regards,Pedro Rocha

Hello Team. I have a storage policy with a snap primary which snaps a netapp a700, and a vault/replica (not a mirror) that CV orchestrates the replication between the a700 and a fas8700. There is a primary copy as well but I don’t want to use this as the source copy for the storagegrid copy; i want to use the vault copy as the source copy for the storagegrid copy. I am creating a new storagegrid synchronous aux copy and the only options to pick for source copy are primary and storagegrid.  The only configuration I can figure out that works is to have a primary copy, which copies the snap primary copy, and to choose the primary copy as the source copy for the storagegrid copy. Is this expected behavior of the program ? Is there any way to configure the program so a storagegrid copy can have as its source copy the replica/vault copy ?Thank you!

Hi folks,Although all vendors now have servers using 4th generation Intel processors, our reference architectures (for 24 disk solutions) still request 2nd generation processors.This is causing a problem, vendors cannot provide the product for these old servers and processors we configure (such as HPE Apollo 4200 with Intel 4216 CPU and/or Dell 740XD2 with Intel 4216 CPU).Will these reference architectures be renewed in the upcoming period? Is there such a study? Are there any roadmaps on this?Even if there is a study carried out on this subject, it will be very useful information for us.Kindest Regards.

Hello, we have a NetApp Client that we would like to backup using a File System Agent and NetApp SnapDiff.Our environment is not configured for V2/V3 but V1 works as expected when creating new subclients. However when trying to backup an older subclient (same Client/Backupset), apparantly Commvault is not using SnapDiff for the Scan-Phase. Extract from the logs:Subclient property [Disable SnapDiff Scan] set. NetApp SnapDiff cannot be used. Using classic recursive scan. I don’t see any way to disable that property. Neither in the subclient settings nor in additional settings.Further I don’t even know how this property got set in the first place - SnapDiff V1 used to work on that subclient before. Maybe you have any idea how to set/unset that property? Regarding our environment:Commvault Version 11.28.72NetApp ONTAP Version 9.12.1P4

Manager is asking if commvault support migration of old tsm data to commvault. I have read this documentation https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/103543_migrating_tsm_data_to_objectstore.html Has anyone any experience doing this? I am not quite sure this is the best way forward..

Hello,I have openstack environment version 13.01 and commvault 11.28. According to this documenthttps://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/3349_system_requirements_for_virtual_server_agent_with_openstack.htmlversion 13 is not supported?Thank you.

Hello,Does anybody knows how to get rid of the following warnings we got during CIFS/NFS servers backup:" Unable to start SnapDiff V3 session. Please check if RPC is enabled and if there is a data network interface configured for NFS on vserver [xxxxxxxxx]. " -→ Some SVMs have NFS enabled on LIFs, then I enabled RPC on those SVMs and after that warnings disappeared.-→ On the contrary, some SVMs have only LIFs with CIFS enabled, then these messages are still there days after days, even if RPC is enabled.I will not be obliged to add NFS as a data protocol to solve this “issue “ ? It does not makes sense...We are running ONTAP 9.9.1P11 and Commvault 11.28.32 (2022E).Thank you in advance.

Hi Guys, I am experiencing the same issue as :  whereby i am unable to change my storage policy retention settings from a remote comcell console. However my commserve is linux, so i have been trying to access the comcell console directly on the linux machine as provided in the solution above. However when i run the command console, nothing happens. I am not sure if there are any specific settings i need to configure to allow console access from linux. Does anyone know?

Hi Team,I have Storage policy and the primary library is IBM tape library. Due to space constraints few servers are assigned directly to the tapes. So, the concern is by default created the big data apps index server for the storage policy is going to the same storage policy. Is it right way to keep the index server's backup on tape.If incase, I have to require browsing 30 days old data, do required tapes and is there any copy saved on media server for index cache?PFB snapshot for reference.   

Hello Community, We’re going to migrate file servers to different hardware with new hostname, while keeping the same drive letter, data/content.Subsequently, once these new servers install/config into the Commvault, they will be linked to the identical storage policy that the old servers were associated with. This storage policy with ddb enabledFrom my understand, Commvault's deduplication process use a SHA-512 algorithm, which generates a unique identifier for each data block. This identifier is then matched against identifiers of previously encountered data blocks. Questions:I'm wondering whether, during the initial full backup of the new file servers, the data will undergo a process of re-baselining, or if only distinct data blocks will be selected for backup. This consideration arises from the fact that the same content and deduplication (ddb) signatures were previously backed up or generated from the old servers. Moreover, this inquiry leads to the question of whether the new full

Hi All, We are building a Hyperscale-X environment for a customer. However, I received a question from my customer.The reference architecture servers that are present are nearing the end of their life cycle. The processors on these servers belong to the 2nd generation. Is it possible for me to include this server in my HSX environment if the next-generation reference architecture is released and I need to add one node to my existing platform? Best Regards

Hello, anyone knows why file agent push install on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS fails everytime? I have used root credentials on 2 different servers running the same OS version : Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS.The job get’s stuck either at 0% or 90%. I have checked the destination and seems to do a partial install.The installed components looks like this:I have Commvault 11.0 SP24. Is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS  supported?

We are getting the error below. It does not give the error all the time. Usually on Saturday afternoons, the jobs start running all weekend with no issues. On Monday’s, it will start failing in the afternoon and fail all week until the weekend. Of course, the DBA says that they are not doing anything. Nothing has changed on the CV side. This server has been fine up until the last month as they have started prepping the DB’s for another server. It is almost like someone starts a process and it cuts off.  Error Code: [18:182]Description: Failed with SBT library error [ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="8329502_KCH_2l24upts_1_1", parms=""ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text: CreateOraObject20: Job[8329502] thread[4944]: Connection with ClOraAgent failed(180 secs) for channel=1. ]Source: server, Process: ClOraAgent

Heyho, I have a question. We are going to create a custom report, with all the Commvault reports we need. In our "old" reports we have a section with Admin Jobs History. I can't find such a report in the Command Center. Is there a report that shows me these jobs ? 

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,Ayant des copy allant sur bandes, je dois prouver à certains client que les données ne sont plus accessibles à la fin des rétentions, pour moi un simple delete contents / delete ne suffit pas à rendre les données inaccessible sur la bande mais permet juste à commvault de ne plus y avoir acces.Donc nous ne rentrons pas dans le cadre legal de la règlementation sur la gestion des données. Tant que la bande n est pas formater ou qu’un nouveau label n’est pas positionné, il est toujours possible d’accéder aux données sur cette dernière via des outils tierce.  Quelqu’un a-t-il un ptit tips pour effectuer ces actions via une qcommande ou via l’API.Merci d avance

Hello everyone,I'm planning to upgrade my Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2016, which currently has Commvault 11.24 installed. It also hosts SQL Server 2012. Could anyone provide guidance on the compatibility of Commvault with Windows Server 2016 and whether it's necessary to update SQL Server before the upgrade? I appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.Thank you.

There is a requirement in our AWS environment to perform Backups of the Elasticsearch nodes.  From what I have read, CV does not actually support that and the recommendations are to use the Elasticsearch imbedded snapshots and from there we CV could backup up from the S3 buckets.“Elasticsearch has consistency requirements that span the whole cluster. You must use the built-in snapshot functionality for cluster backups.”Is this still true?  Are there other ways to perform backups using CommVault? ThanksChuck 

Hello Community, after migrate to V2 VSA for VMware with v2 migration workflow, I observed that certain VM clients are linked with the VSA agent, while other clients do not exhibit this association. though all of clients are part of the VSA backup . In the "Client Properties" section, specifically within the "Virtual Machine Properties" tab, the "Virtualization Client Name" directs to the V2 VSA pseudo client  below screenshot has vm and agent level backup but  VSA agent is not linked to it, the "Virtualization Client Name" refers to the V1 VSA pseudo client. It seems that the V2 VSA agent is exclusively visible in new deployments, correct?

According to the documentation, you can delete a network storage pool and when you delete a network storage pool, the software automatically deletes the library associated with it and the data in the library will be lost. URL: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/9138_deleting_network_storage_pool.htmlI got a little confused. does the software automatically deletes the library associated with it and the data in the library will be lost or do I need to retire the mount path as It contains dedup data?Anyway, what happens to the data that is in the cloud? Commvault will prune the data?
