Commvault Cloud Topics

Hello community,I’m wondering about cloud libraries redesign to provide offsite copies for resources protected in certain Azure region. Since we don’t have express route in our configuration, I’m wondering how to keep costs low. Basically, we are running at Metallic, but most of Commvault configuration is available to us. So, there are two major scenarios I’m considering:use set of new AZ Storage Accounts with native Geo replication (GRS) to keep egress costs more controlled. So there would be primary copy keep at hot LRS in RegionA and secondary at cool GRS RegionA (replicated to paried region) use Commvault native auxcopy, this will trigger significant egress upon transferring data from one AZ region to another due to extensive data reads. So there would be primary copy keep at hot LRS in RegionA and secondary at cool LRS RegionB  What are you experiences? Will GRS with additional amount or reads caused due sFull etc. generate significant additional costs too? Or maybe there’s someth

Hi,We have three new SAP R3 system installed, beside several others. SAP for Oracle Agent installed and configured on all of these servers.SAP for Oracle backups are running without any issue on most of our servers, but on the three new server, there is a warning. "Error Code: [18:104] Description: Some warnings might have been ignored for this job. Please check the backup.out log for details." Status:"Completed w/ one or more warnings" There are no skipped or failured folders or files.In the suggested backup.out file I can find following: "BRBACKUP completed successfully with warnings" and "BRARCHIVE completed successfully with warnings", but nothing more about warnings.Where could I find the reason of warning?There are several "successfully" message, no "warning" in the log, only at the end of BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE process. If SAP for Oracle backups can be completed without warnings on other servers, it should be on new ones also. I think.

The following content is output in the job log:‘ERROR 3546 (YH000) at line 24: @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED cannot be changed the added gtid set must not overlap with @@GLOBAL.GTID_EXECUTED’I hope everyone can provide a solution. Thank you！

Hi we have problem with exhgange snapshot backup copy  jobs that resets after we entered it to suspend and after that to resume. We are using 11.28.63 version and trying to find a solution to suspend jobs but resume it without to lose backed up data. 

   We are using Intellisnap VMware backups.  We are also using Gridstor.    When the snapbackups kick off, many of them after the discovery phase, go to Waiting.   The phase shows as BCD Index Restore.   The job will wait for 20 minutes before continuing.   This delay is frustrating.   I am able to work around this if I am watching the backups kick off, by suspend and resume the jobs.  They will start running immediately with no issue.  In reality, the BCD index restore runs so quickly in the background, there is no reason to wait 20 minutes.  This just delays my backups getting done and off site.  Does anyone else notice this issue?   I have opened tickets with support and eventually they tell me is is working as designed. :-(

Hi,I saw an online video for backup of Office 365 on youtube and it shows 4 options and one of them was “Exchange Online (Access Through Azure Active Directory)” option. However in our Commserv there are only 3 options showing and that option is missing. We only have Azure AD so the option of Exchange Online (Access through On-premise Active Directory) is not a valid option for us.  We are looking explicitly for Exchange Online (Access Through Azure Active Directory). Can any one point as to why this option is not visible or what we should do in our case since we dont have an on-premise AD?ThanksFahad  

Just wondering…Background: I’ve been recently running “CVDiskPerf -PATH (a folder) -OUTFILE (a log file)” vias it appears we might be getting low read throughput to locally mounted storage on my media agents and I’m getting vastly different readings.  Like 400 GB/hr for one run, then a few minutes later 1500 GB/hr.  I know there will be “some variance” but i was under the impression that this tool would probably “run for a bit” and give a more solid reading.  our storage nor our servers running CommVault are showing CPU or “IOPS pressure” in any metric that shows they aren’t able to handle more load/throughput. Before I started running this tool I was under the impression it would “work a little harder” to get throughput stats and not finish in a minute (like it would really try to push a limit of CPU/throughput/etc and the storage system would notice it as it was getting fed a lot of read/write requests).  Currently the storage system doesn’t register a blip when it runs, making me fe

Hi,I’m trying to restore data from tape and when it attempts to restore the Index I receive the following errors:Error: Unable to find/get index in the cache for [SubClient_81] at time [Fri May 5 14:14:14 2023].

Hey everyone, we currently have two servers, one server is automatically deleting data every day from subfolders and the  otherserver is a SCCM server where changes happen daily. After almost a month Commvault is still "complaining" about thies two servers and every day "Clear anormaly" is executed. My idea is to exclude these folders. But is there another possibility ? Maybe you can teach Commvault to ignore the folders by itself.

Hello, Customer is backing up a linux fs using fs iDA. Some incrementals are getting too big. Is there a way to show to the customer what accounted for that incremental growth? Regards,Pedro

Hey Guys!I have no experience in automation. I want to apply for a job that requires IaC. That's all that I know. I don't know what kind of IaC they are talking about. It's a large enterprise environment.  What are your CommVault IaC solutions? There are different solutions, like Ansible. What is supported by CommVault, or what solution works best for you? I know you can save as script, write qcommand scripts, using the Powershell cmdlet, but what is more common nowadays?  What are the benefits of your IaC solutions, why did you implement it, what are the best use cases, and why was it your best decision, otherwise, what do you dislike, and what are some downsides? What kind of automation does not work with CommVault but would be great, what are some features which are you waiting for? Thank you a lot! Kr

Dear All ,i need some clarification on the below , we have depoloyed hyperscal x nodes and started backup activities , we would like to harden the security , we are planning to perform the following ,1> Enabling ransdomware protection on hyperscale nodes2> currently encryptions are not set global ddb or storage polocy ,storage pool or client side , i would like to where we is it better to enable the encrpytion3> enabling retention lock or WORM  - best practices to achieve immutability 4> disabling root account access since the backup operation already started to hyperscale x cluster ,above activities affect the operations ?is there anything to be taken care before performing this , also do we have any evidence to show  that the backed up data are write protected and wont be able to modified    

Hello all We have a problem with Commvault resources usage on the IBM Spectrum Scale server. During the backup at the scanning phase, Commvault uses more than 60% of CPU and RAM  OS: AIXhow can we allocate resources to Commvault not exceeding it?more explanation why Commvault uses RAM?  

Hello Community our DBA is requesting assistance in retrieving the MSSQL LSN number from the Commvault log.For this MSSQL AG (Availability Group) backup, I accessed the active node during the backup process and examined the sqlida.log file. However, despite increasing the SQLIDA debug level to 10, the LSN information does not appear to be present in the log. Just discovered that the LSN information can be found in the sqlbackup.log file only. However, I'm curious as to why certain SQL servers have both the sqlbackup module and the sqldia module, while others only have the sqldia module.

I want to explain a problem we have:Hardware WORM was active on all of our disk libraries. We are not aware of having activated this functionality and as support indicated, there is no trace that we have executed a workflow to activate it.Despite that, the WORM functionality was not active in any of our Storage Policies, only at the disk library level. We could change the retention of our copies, delete backups, micro-prunning working, and our databases were NEVER sealed. We updated version 11.28 to 11.30 and suddenly the “WORM Storage” feature is activated in ALL storage policies at storage pool level.As per the below document, this changes are applied on SP30 onwards, if hardware WORM is enabled:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/essential/149133_changes_in_commvault_platform_release_2023.html Now we cannot delete backups, nor change the retention of our copies and ALL databases will be sealed every X days, micro-prunning disable. In addition, we have not been able to plan the

Hello, I have a fresh installation of Commvault version 11.28.56. I am attempting to connect to our vCenter instance through the Command Center GUI. After putting in the information to ‘Add Hypervisor’ I receive a ‘Request body is empty or format is invalid.’ error.

I have tried vsphere.local\administrator, administrator@vsphere.local, and a Windows AD account. I ensured the ‘VSA’ software was installed on the access node. Any help is appreciated!Error 

Hi All,How to update media agents after upgrading Commcell from 11.21 to 11.28

I accidentally backed up all of the content on my file server and didn’t mean to. Now my local storage is out of space and I don’t want this copied to MRR secondary.Is there a way for me to delete the jobs? 

Hi guys,has anyone experience with iSCSI-attached tape libraries and the sharing of the drives? It should work, but it is not really documentated and I am concerned about performance, stability and functionality. Even more, if only one network is available for both, regular network traffic and iSCSI connection. Any information/experiences would be apreciated. thanks a lot!
