HI all, Has anyone seen this?I have a VSA (failed VMs only) job that is Completed in the Job Controller, but it just stays there.In Events it shows the same message every 10 mins; “Failed to create job history for job [xxxx]. The job will be retried.I’ve tried recycling the services (and the SQL services) on the CS and running a DBMaint with no success. 

I checked the start time for VM backup, and it was one day earlier than scheduled time.On the backup job history, it is showing me the exact schedule time but if i go the VM machine status the backup start time showing me one day earlier. Attached the snap for reference. 

Hello Team,Please help, I’m planning to migrate MA (windows) with following steps.1.Launch new server with installing MA software. and assigning same hostname ,new IP address.2.Detach all mount path drives and DDB drives, attach the same in new server3.Disconnect old server from the network.4.check all services and process running on new MA5.Map the respective LUNs, ( DDBs, Index Cache, Library) also make sure you are using the same drive letters while moving the contents on new server. Is this method good to move forward , if any other steps please suggest.  Regards,Samuel    

Hi,I have set the retention settings of the storage policy as 1 day and 0 cycle.Took a backup of the VM client into the HCP S3 Based object storage.Post retention expiry, the data aging job should delete off the data from HCP and HCP-CS cloud libraries.But the data (chunk folders and chunks) still resides on the HCP buckets and the deletion is not happening. Any suggestions please.

Hi all, Before I raise a ticket, trying to reproduce it, I want to check here if someone ever experienced the same.This is the case back-up data is save on 3 copies Primary (disk) → Synchronous (disk)→ Selective (tape)The Synchronous job is used as as source for the tape copy.The Synchronous copy has the option “Pick data from running job” enables (well had)This was disabled as we saw that the Selective copy also started to copy the data that still was being copied to the Synchronous copy (job-ids had the status partially copied). This is strange, because that option is not there in the SPc.And you do not want this, because the fact data is going to tape but more important, the jobs should be become marked as “With errors” in de Synchronous copy and therefor not copied but instead the next job closed to the selective rules. Did anyone ever experienced the same and knows the reason/solution? Thanks,Danny

Hello, We have backup server CommServe  Simpana version 11.28.68 on Windows Server 2022 Standard. We migrated recently backup server Commserve on new hardware using Hardware refresh method (we migrated from simpana version 11.20.85 to simpana version 11.28.68).

Hello community,I try to find Commvault documentation for cluster SQL backup that includes from 2 VMs with a shared Disk.Im not sure if this is it: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/161491_configuring_sql_failover_cluster.htmlI assume, at the beginning must install SQL agent in both nodes.After that, how I will schedule SQL backup in Instance level (SQL cluster level) ? Thank you in advance,Nikos

i checked the links to configure Bonded Topology With 1 GbE Management Network for HyperScale X Reference Architecture but i can see the bond network type still selected as commserv registration ,  can someone explain if our data backup network is non routable network how is going to register it with commserv, or commserv registration will happen via management netwrok only? 

  The backups complete successfully, however I see the below error.Will this error go away if I select optimize for file system with large number of small files (see screen shot) ? Error Code: [7:331] Description: High amount of data to be processed in FailedFilesRetry phase is observed with bulk of the data coming from big files that can be more efficiently processed by enabling optimized backups via extent level. Review documentation to proceed. Source: ...., Process: clBackup 

We have a two-node SQL-Cluster with 10 SQL-Instances, load-balanced over the nodes.Currently we fail to set up the backup. Only the instances running on node A are passing the backup successful.

Hi Guys,Please someone help me with Commvault document to create One-Way firewall between Commserve and Media agent ?Also, which server we need to keep blocked state and which 1 in restricted state ?

I have a query for deduplication which is enabled when creating a storage policy.The partition path was chosen as a single partition path on a media-agent drive.I took a Full backup of a VM and it wrote some chunks in the HCP S3 Storage.Re-took the same backup again and it wrote more chunks in the HCP S3 Storage even though there wasn’t any change of the “VM content”. How does deduplication play a role here?   

Hi,We’re running into a strange issue with hotadd VM backups.For some VMs we see the error “Failed to download config file” and “Failed to open disk”. This is never for the same VMs over and over again, but sporadic and always for different VMs.We have two SCSI controllers defined on the Proxy and each controller has a “dummy”/”actual” disk as the first disk. (As advised by VMWare: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2075069Has anyone ever seen this issue? Any idea what might be causing it?

I am monitoring the subclients. I see the “enableBackup” in the api for the subclients but notice the job does not run when the instance is not enabled which I can detect visually from the UI but do not see an attribute in the Instance or InstanceProperties API. Is there attribute for the instance enabledBackup?  

Hello all!We do have NDMP backup configured within our environment. The parent path looks like that: /stpbdedcfs101/f3_cifs_dfs_shares09/dfsshares09there was a first fail while creating full backup with this kind of error:  now every next incremental backup does fails with this kind of error:This whole location is still in use and accessible. We have confirmed that while “browsing for new content”While checking logs i have discovered following message: As you can see at the previous screenshot location DFS_000651_HG_DEMU_VK exist.Is that error men that backup is not able to access this particular location?As You can see backup fails with only 1 “Failed folder”So does that means, that this incremental backup is not seeing any changes within the whole parent location and fails only because it is not able to access DFS_000651_HG_DEMU_VK ?

Recently I have noticed that a number of our Postgress backups have their log file backups writing to a different Storage Policy from the data backups. If I change the log file backups to the same Storage Policy as the Data backups will this cause any problems.
