Hi All. I have build a new setup with MediaAgents and a CommServe installed with RedHat Linux. Is it possible to disable the root account like you are in a HyperScaleX setup where you need to enable the root access from within the CommandCenter. I really like this feature, so I would like to get et on my normal MediaAgents as well. I see that is possible via the CommServe bare metal setup and you can download a workflow described in the below link:https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/software/enabling_or_disabling_root_access_for_commserve_bare_metal.html Install and deploy the HyperScale OS Node Root Access workflow from the Commvault Store. But I’m unsure if it will work on my MediaAgents and my CommServe. Regards-Anders

Hi guys, is there a possibility to get the subclientId of a client when searching for a specific content.E.g.:I have 3 subclients, 1 for drive c, 1 for drive d and 1 for drive e.Now I want to get the SubclientId for the path “c:\example”.Is there any possibility to get this? Maybe per RestAPI? BRJan

Hi All. I just checked the traffic to and from our CommServe in our firewall. I do see thousands of denies every hour from the CommServe to IP’s belonging to amazon (3.174.18.10, 3.174.18.80, 3.174.18.70…..) We do not use any Amazon services in anyway, so any one have an idea why the CommServe tries to connect to Amazon and how to disable what its doing? Thanks-Anders

Hi, I’m trying to do a BMR on a windows server, but 1-touch can only find the network card in slot1. the connections on slot1 is on a management network that can’t reach the commvault server. We have nic in slot6 (Broadcom BCM5741x) that reach the commcell. I have added the drivers for this card, but slot6 doesn’t shows up when I boot 1-touch.Anyone that have a clue on what to do here?BR, Tony

Hey Community,A couple of days ago, I received an email with this anomaly notification “Garbage Collection Delay in DDB Stores.” What does this issue indicate, and what should I be checking when this appears?When I click the link to see the more details about this notification, it opens a DDB Pruning Performance Anomaly Report, but it doesn’t seem to provide any useful information. Has anyone run into this before or have suggestions what to do with this?Thanks in advance!

Hello Community,I have a problem, that the Index Cache Directory usage grows steadily (~ 2Gb per week) and currently 80% of free space is consumed.Due to specifics of the environment, Load Balancing and adding free space is almost impossible. As per the CV documentation, the active metadata are deleted from Index Cache, when the corresponding jobs meet retention:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/commcell-console/backupset_level_indexing_index_cache_cleanup.html#index-cleanupand the compaction process happens every 30 days by default:https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/compaction-enforce-days.htmlCan I use the Additional Setting COMPACTION_ENFORCE_DAYS to set another frequency for the Compaction process, e.g. 1 week? I expect, that then the metadata from aged jobs will be deleted every week, rather than every month, and this will free up space in Index Cache.Is this assumption correct?What impact can this setting have on the environment? Best regards, Aleksandr

we are planning for upgrading cs and SQL version without the hardware refresh, Please help here with the known issues and the necessary steps for upgradation

I’m working with a customer to test Proxmox backups and am a bit confused.  When I go to the Proxmox config page I don’t have an access node which is expected since we haven’t set it up yet.  When I click on the link to download it, I get an VSA_x64.exe, which is a Windows executable.  From documentation I understand we have to install it on at least one of the cluster nodes which are a flavor of linux.  Is the idea to download the CV linux binaries using the VSA_x64 executable?  If so, what would be the proper package(s)? Also, it is a little confusing with the documentation as I’m reading it; do we need VSA installed on all the nodes in the cluster or just a single node to act as the access node?Thanks in advance!

Hi,I have few questions about compliance lock and the retention of last full backup.How does the retention of the last full backup work in a storage with a compliance lock? Is the retention for the last full backup updated when a new full backup is added at the end of the month? I know that compliance lock can't lower the retention.For example, if a full backup occurred on the 15th day of the month considered as the last full backup of month and the retention is set to 1 year, but on the 30th day of the month a new full backup occurred and it is the real last full backup of the month, does the first full backup will update the retention date even if it is in a storage with compliance lock.Is it recommended to select "Last full backup" for a extended retention job with compliance lock? Do you recommended to use instead "First full backup" with compliance lock? What is the best practice?

Hi Team, Noticed there are a number of specialist badges for Commvault -  Commvault Cloud SaaS for Microsoft Azure VMs - CredlyCore Security Features on Commvault Cloud SaaS - CredlyCommvault Cloud Rewind on Commvault Cloud SaaS - Credly  Would very much like to add these to my arsenal of certifications..Does anyone know how to obtain these? I thought maybe through these -  CSF SaaS - Microsoft Azure VMsCSF SaaS - Core Security FeaturesCSF SaaS - Cloud Rewind But that doesn’t seem to trigger the credly assignment :(  Thanks,Hayden

Hi,additionally to my previous post regarding support for Rocky Linux 9.6 I now ask for support for Rocky Linux 9.7 or Rocky Linux 9 in general. I think this would be a curial step for Commvault to go from Windows to Linux and also allow customers to chose their distro.Why:On December 1st Rocky Linux 9.7 has been released. The Release policy for Rocky Linux: Rocky Linux does not support point releases once a newer one is available. Once a new minor point release is available, the older one is immediately considered end of life and users must upgrade to continue receiving security updates. For example, once 8.5 gets a general release, 8.4 is immediately end of life. SourceAre there any plans for changing the documentation to support Rocky Linux 9 in the latest point release?

Hi,Is it possible to show which user and what files were download from the WebConsole?For example, if I’m restoring any file I’m getting a job with details, but for the download action I can see the action in the audit trail report but with now details of the user or the file itself, I can see only the browse action of the folder Thanks 

Hi Team,I am running CommServe version 11.40.30 on Linux, and I am facing an issue where Command Center dashboards show incomplete information.The following dashboards are affected: Health Storage Space Storage Some sections are missing or empty. While reviewing the logs, I found the following errors: SEVERE: failed to retrieve data for datasource [cs], dataset [GetTopUsedDiskLibraries], user [admin], error [Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.] SEVERE: failed to execute cache query for dataset [GetTopUsedDiskLibraries], cacheId [87c1520841b54f0388a2f5fe31ddcdbb], error [Table "Cache_93e2cdc681ac4744b54ea90cca217b30" not found (this database is empty)] SQL statement: SELECT * FROM [Cache_93e2cdc681ac4744b54ea90cca217b30] ORDER BY "Date to be Full"Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is this related to Command Center cache tables or database corruption? Are there any known fixes or recommended troubleshooting steps? Any guidance or similar

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?
