Here’s an annoyingly wierd one. I have a workflow that does parsing to create a string for use in a powershell script. This is what the script looks like://Prep Hardcoded Values for use in Powershelldef vCentersList = xpath:{/workflow/configuration/vCenters};def vCenterCount = vCentersList.size();def BackupPolicies = xpath:{/workflow/configuration/BackupPolicies};def forCounter = 0;// Convert vCenter List to vCenter StringStringBuilder strbul = new StringBuilder();strbul.append("@(");for(String str : vCentersList){ forCounter++; strbul.append("'"); strbul.append(str.replaceAll("\\s","")); strbul.append("'"); if (forCounter != vCenterCount){strbul.append(";");}}strbul.append(")");String vCenters = strbul.toString();workflow.setVariable("vCenters",vCenters);

Our CommVault instance uses Nimble storage for data backup. When CommVault tries to backup VM, it tells vCenter to take a snapshot of this VM. After snapshot is created by vCenter, CommVault backup it.At the same time we have Nimble replication process. When Nimble discovers a new snapshot (created by CommVault), it puts the snapshot in the queue for the replication.When CommVault finishes backup, it tells vCenter to delete snapshot. But if the replication of the snapshot was not finished, Nimble replication process prevents snapshot being deleted. At the same time vCenter does not generate any failure for the CommVault.At the very end:-          CommVault does not repeat an attempt to delete because it does not know that this attempt failed (I tried to decrease nExpireSnapshotHours pa

Hi Team,we are running SAN Transport Backups agaings a Fully Automated ESXI Cluster. During the long running backup the DRS feature pops in and doing a Storage VMotion against VMs which are currently backed up. Eg VM on DS1 → is storage vmotioned to DS2 After the backup we still see all the “Orpahned Files” on DS1.  We tried to utilize the additonal Setting “bDisableVMotionDuringBackup” which did not prevent a Storage VMotion during the backup.  We are currently running 11.30.If i am not not wrong we saw in ealrier commvault Versions ( 11.28 ) a Taks in the VCenter → VM → Tasks like “DRS disabled” during the backup.  ( not sure but maybe with Transport mode “NBD” this issue is not seen ) Anyone facing the same issue.

Hello Team, This is related to Commserve Active / Standby queries. One of the requirement is that need to build three Commserve servers, one production site and two cold sites (Off sites).The production site will implement Commserve is active and another two sites will implement on standby mode.Please advise, Is it will use Live sync future or will use manual process while performing Commserve failover.Let me know the manual process failover / failback. Thanks in advance.

Hello community,For an Azure VM restore, in order to archive better SLA RTO, is there any way to increase number of streams?I see that only 1 stream is present as default for every VM restore job. Please for your feedback,Nikos

I’m deploying MRR storage and planning to enable immutability via the “Enable Retention Lock” workflow at the storage pool level, I’m keen to know anyone’s experience with this because once it’s enabled it’s not reversible.Typically, when using Retention Lock on a policy copy, we wouldn’t use extended retention on a copy and have the basic retention set to the requirement e.g.:One Selective Copy for Monthly backups with the required basic retention Another Selective Copy for the yearlies with the required retention Both Selective Copies would be pointing to the MRR storage pool with WORM enabled as a dependant copy in the storage pool via the workflow.Is this the best way to setup MRR with immutability?

Hello, is there a way to automatically disable disabled AD users in Commvault as well? Best would be to delete it automatically after a time, as well as delete users as well. Is it possible to automate this?In an environment with a lot of dynamic users some users are not active in AD anymore but active in Commvault. If such a user is known and has higher rights, it could be reactivated oder recreated by an attacker in AD and used covertly. We would like to prevent this possibility. As discussed here (User Group properties - AD groups user not removed after removing | Community (commvault.com)), we like to delete the user from the User list overwiew, not from the ad group association which is refreshed an every login attemp as i understand. Additionally, an idea of

Hi Community. Do you know where we can find Visio stencils to create workflow  doc ? Regards, Alessio

Hello, We have installed LiveSync via the Java console, but when we go to LiveSync tile in the Web console to enable automatic failover and set up the monitoring nodes, we get the following message “CommServe LiveSync package is not installed. Install the CommServe LiveSync package and try again” Has anyone else seen the above issue? and if so, how did you resolve it? Many Thanks, Craig

Hello to all!I read some similar threads about Encrypting Network Traffic, but Im a little bit confused.A customer wants to know if the Commvault backup installation (11.28) has by default Network encryption over HTTPS between CS / MAs / clients?I need to clarify if encryption over network traffic for Commvault Servers are enabled by default, at this point I don’t care about Encrypting backup data.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/134328_enabling_encryption_in_commcell.htmlPlease for your feedback,Nikos

Hi All, Can I just check what is the expected status of the Object Lock ‘Default Retention Period’ on an AWS S3 bucket after running the ‘Enable WORM Storage’ Workflow?As part of the Documentation it states to ‘Disable Default retention when Object Lock is enabled’ prior to running the workflow.  When running the workflow (which completes successfully) on test it doesn’t update Default Retention to 60 Days (My copy retention is 30days) and remains disabled.  However, when copying data up to the bucket when running a backup to the locked Storage Policy Copy, objects are correctly locked to the required retention period by Commvault (60 Days) in compliance mode. So the question being:  Should the Default Retention be set to the specified Retention lock period or remain disabled for Commvault to set on a per object basis?Thanks in advance.G.

Hi!I would like to set this alert for triggering when the CURRENT BACKUP SIZE exceeds 200 GB. But I didnt find any info on how can I specify the unit in the value field of a Token Criteria Selection step.

What is Difference between "remove from content " & exclude from backup"  in Metallic backup for exchange online?If i exclude a user/ user group from backup and reinclude it , will it cause next backup to be full? 

Use case:I have enabled Object lock on the Cloud storage bucket (Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3)).Enabled WORM on Commvault and set the retention for the storage policy.Result: Once the data is backed up I am able to delete the data manually in the Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) bucket.Does Commvault does not leverage Object lock ?Also Can we enable Object lock on Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (HCPCS) and WORM on Commvault or its Either or case. 

Hello, What is the best approach to backup Shared mailboxes in metallic. I have created a Dynamic Distribution List that has a query search to find all shared mailboxes. Unfortunately, the DDL it’s not being detected in the metallic side. Environment:Exchange onlinePlace of DDL: Exchange Online Thank you in advance.

I need to understand and unable to find a good documentation on the differences between the terms: Difference between Storage policy, storage pool, data path, mount path , Libraries ? How are they related ?

We are following instructions from below page to enable WORM we could not see the WORM option does compliance lock mean WORM lock: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/157130_enabling_worm_storage_and_retention_for_cloud_storage.htmlAlso in the supported agents we have Hitachi Content Platform (HS3) Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) In the Commcell browser we could not edit properties for Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (S3) but could edit fo

Morning folks,I can see that 2023E has been released (Commvault Platform Release 2023E)According to the document versions suffixed with E are LTS versions however 2023E is listed as a “Technology preview” on ma.commvault.comAm I safe to upgrade to 2023E? Is this a Long Term Support (LTS) version??

So I have some scripts that I use to disable/enable the activity controls in my Commcell (so that I can automate maintenance task).  The script works fine on 11.28.65 and returns a JSON showing that everything is working fine.  When I run this against my Commcell that is at 11.28.69, I get this back as a JSON:{ "processinginstructioninfo": { "attributes": [ { "name": "WebServer", "value": "Commserv" } ] }, "errorMessage": "Failed to set [Activity Control] for [CommCell] with error [OPERATION FAILED: Please check logs for more details.].", "errorCode": 587203847}It only returns this if the status needs to change (i.e. activity is disabled, and I’m trying to enable).  If the status doesn’t change (i.e trying to enable activity when it’s already enabled), it comes back with a

Is it fair to say, The "Commvault Client Monthly Growth" report typically refers to the growth of data being backed up by Commvault clients over a specified period. In general, the "Commvault Client Monthly Growth" report should include data from all clients being backed up by Commvault, regardless of the location or data center? 

Dear All, We need configure 2 of layer two networks for transfer our replication traffic. I need to know commvault have any load balancing capabilities for do this.
