Basically the title. I have a bunch of HotAdd servers that have the MediaAgent software installed. Do I need to have the MediaAgent software installed? We have IntelliSnap running to back up the VMs on the vSphere As a bonus question, these HotAdd VMs also have the file system agent installed. How do I uninstall just that software? Or will I need to uninstall Commvault software completely and reinstall Commvault?
Hi,Below is my configuration:Commserve is VM machine and version is 11.24.103.Media servers - 1 is Physical and another is VM - Both are configured as Disk’s library (Disk’s are coming from Storage Lun’s).Proxy Node (Access Node) - Both media servers are assigned as access node.We have around 100 VM servers under a vCenter, so I have split 10 sub clients in each VM.I have selected the Auto mode and backups are running nbd most jobs.Currently, I can see the backup/restores are running very slow. Is there anything I can do improve the speed. Thanks in advance.

Hi, When installing Commserve a SQL Server is installed too. There is a license limitation for SQL Server as per documentation:For SQL Server 2019, the license is limited to 4 sockets or 24 cores, whichever is less.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/132365_commserve_server_system_requirements_linux.htmlCustomer wants to reuse existing hardware and to install Commserve Server role on it. This server has a processor with 32 cores on it. It is my understanding that SQL Server will be limited to 24 cores, but would this be a license violation to install it on a machine with more then 24 cores? What can we expect? Regards

Hello,Does the following vulnerability affects the Commvault ? Is there a fix for this CVE-2020-1938 Vulnerability ? I couldn't find any information about it in the documentation Best regards,
Hello, We plan to perform a CommServe hardware refresh from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019. Commserve is on Feature Release 28, and the SQL server version is 2012. What is the upgrade path for the Commserve with SQL running in 2012? Do we need to first upgrade the SQL to 2014/2016 and then perform the Hardware refresh? Or is it possible to perform a hardware refresh without upgrading the SQL? The documentation doesn’t mention about SQL upgrade path. CommServe Upgrade with Hardware Refresh: Overview (commvault.com)
Hi Team,We are configuring Storage policies and including Tape for auxiliary.Please find the below requirement. Requirement 1: First storage policy will configure Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly schedule for disk and then only Weekly, monthly & Yearly will go to auxiliary copy of tape.Requirement 2: Second storage policy will configure Monthly (keep disk) and that is no need for auxiliary copy.Our Clarifications:Is it will configure separate schedules for Weekly, monthly & Yearly? After retention of backup, the data will delete from disk without auxiliary copy (requirement2).Please advise.
Hi All, i have an short question regarding the exchange online mailbox backup. The companay decided to activate the Micorostf Archive feature for Mails. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/in-place-archiving/manage-archives?view=exchserver-2019&viewFallbackFrom=exchonline-ww So every mails wich are older than 180days should be moved to the archive. Is there any impact to our Backup ? My opionion is not because we are running every 4 hours an backup and when a new mail is dected the mail would be backuped directly and is saved on the backup storage, When now the Micorosft archive policy is moveing the mail it doesnt belong to commvault. The Backups are incr 4 ever so no impact. is that correct ?

Friends, I try to find a way to automate the sql61props via Rest API or Powershell modules. Does anyone has experience with this? My goal is to remove the MSSQL Credentials (Impersonate Users) or replace by dummy and to disable overrideHigherLevelSettings per Client as this is now managed at Server Group. I tried to use Get-CVClient, update $_.pseudoClientInfo.idaInfo.sql61Prop as how I want to have it and post this via Set-CVClient. The answer is that it is successful, but nothing is changed. I also tried to update the settings directly via Submit-CVRESTRequest with the result; answer like succesful, but nothing done. I was looking at sending an XML to send the update, but I can’t find the parameters. Can anyone help me with this?Thanks in advance,Maurice
I would like to know if there is any qcommand/ API to power on the Media agent
