Hi Everyone, i am trying to understand when a backup copy job run what exactly it is doing and if it slow down the network. My Snap copy for VM are slow they finish between one and three minutes but backup copy job are taking hours like 1 to 4 hours. i thought NETAPP take the snap first as NetApp reach out to the client get the snap and save it with itself than CV reach out to NetApp for the that snap to make a backup copy.When CV asked for backup copy from NetApp does NetApp reach out to the client again to grab the data? etwork in my inviorment

Hello, In my configuration, the CommServer and a Windows System are both members of a domain. When I try to add the Windows System as a laptop, the job fails with the error shown below.68:574 Required media version [11.30] with transaction Id [4859364] is missing in the Software Cache. CommServe may be installed with a lower version media. Please check the media in Software Cache and try updating the CommServe before updating clients.Source: win-c7k6li9lpl7, Process: DistributeSoftware I looked into the software cache on the CommServer but couldn't find anything. I need some assistance here. CommServer Version : 11.30.43 [Hitachi Data Protection Suite]

Hi Guys,we’re running on Commvault 11.28.69Backup of VMs on a streched VSAN Cluster, where VSAs are deployed to both fault domains, enabling the use of hotadd transport mode in both locations.The backups are currently assigned to any available VSA, without honoring the fault domain. This creates additional WAN Traffic and also has an impact on backup performance.According to BOL this feature is available since 11.20New Features for Virtualization in 11.20 (commvault.com)I also defined bEnableClusterFaultDomainDispatch = true (should be default) on all VSA, but doesn’t lead to a proper VSA selection. Once the VM is not running on the same host as a VSA, any VSA is assigned.Are there any further settings to enable (or the other way arround to disabled) that lead to a propper asignment of VMs to VSA ?As a workaround, I now assigned the usable/wanted VSA now to each virtualization client’s subclient instead of the instance only. This restricts the VSA to the local fault domain only, but th
Hi,The storage we created for the backup copy is running out of space. We shortened the retention period, but it didn't clean, now we get an error and we don't copy our backups.Can we connect and check each other? Thanks
We currently have Virtual Machines replicating with Live Sync, Full is executed and then incremental, my question is, is there a way to prioritize that the Full backups are copied first and then the incremental ones, we see that it does not replicate the full VMs first, if not It seems that it prioritizes smaller VMs.
Hello, I am using qlogin script with -ps passwoord to trigger backup. Now i want to change the user password which starting the script but how can i get new passwoord as -ps in the scrip?

Hi all,we are implementing a new netapp infrastructure. This infrastructure will be composed by 2 clusters with SM-BC -- Snapmirror Business ContinuityWe will use it to present luns on vmwareI don’t find any information about the compatibility with intellisnap.Any Idea ?Thanks a lot
Hi All,we have to backup a large number of VM on Xenserver.I created Windows proxy and added it as access node. i was able to backup windows & linux Vm with this.but when I went for Guest file level restore then it was asking for FREL enable ( for both Linux & Windows)Then i added another VM in same host with linux os and enabled it for FREL with media agent role and then Guest level restore worked for both.Now, I want to use only Linux VM as proxy and want to get rid of Windows at all, Can i do this?I do not see any option to add non-widows Proxy as access node in xen pseudo client in commvault.Does it means , i will have to keep one windows VM as proxy for backup & one linux VM for FREL? it would be great wastage of resources . please confirm and suggest any workaround.
Hello Team,Greetings!Kindly let me know about the possibility of TLS/SSL-enabled PostgreSQL backup and restore on Commvault. Also, could you confirm whether EPAS (EDB) v15 is compatible with CV version 11.32. Regards,Kamal
Hi All,we are configuring CommVault for the first time to take backup of Mailboxes using Azure Active Directory. The authentication is successful however we are still getting the error “Insufficient privileges to complete the operation. ErrorCode: Authorization_RequestDenied”.The Service account is a Global Admin account, unable to identify the root cause. It seems there is Authorization issue however all required permissions granted to the application.
Hi,Can anyone help in the process to deploy VSA proxy in AWS for configuring EC2 backups? Thanks
We recently have implemented Commvault backup for MS SQL servers. Most of the backups are using the default subclient.However, I have run across some reading previously that for big and/or critical database like 1 TB in size, it would be good idea to create additional subclient. I think something if backup fails, it has something to do with restart all databases again? Is that correct? Can someone shed some lights on this?Let’s say I have 30 databases in a server, if one fails backup, the other 29 needs to be rerun from the start?Please adviseThanks
Hi Team,Our Environment:Commvault Version:11.24.29Media Agent OS:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9Backup Storage: DELL DataDomain 9300 Version 7.1.0.20BoostFS version: 1.1Now, i am plan upgrade Backup Storage and BoostFS Version to:Backup Storage: DELL DataDomain 9300 Version 7.9.0.10BoostFS version: 1.1 to 7.9.0.10.is it current commvault version compatible or support with latest Storage and BoostFS version as per plan? and how get the info? Help to answer my queries. Thanks
We have added new storage to Commvault, and set the old mount paths to “Disabled for Write” via the mount path “Allocation Policy” → “Disable mount path for new data” + “prevent data block references for new backups”All mount paths that are “disabled for write” do not have any data on them via the “mount path” → “view contents” option.We have waited a several months for all the data to age off.BUT…I see info on the forums/docs that “data’ may still be on the storage, and there are referenced to “baseline data” in use by our DDB’s. When I go to the mount path properties → Deduplication DB’s tab, I see that all our “disabled for write” mount paths have DDB’s listed in them. So it appears commvault is still using the storage in some way. I saw a post that indicated “The LOGICAL jobs no longer exist on that mount path, but the original blocks are still there, and are being referenced by newer jobs. For that reason, jobs listed in other mount paths are referencing blocks in this mount pat
Getting 400 Bad Reques “Request body is empty or format is invalid”Its for the Virtualization client and I’m just trying to create a new client. Should be pretty simple.POST {{ServerUrl}}/ClientThis is in the example call for POSTMAN and not working. Anyone know what is wrong?{ "clientInfo": { "clientType": 12, "virtualServerClientProperties": { "virtualServerInstanceInfo": { "vsInstanceType": {{vsInstanceType}}, "associatedClients": { "memberServers": [ { "client": { "clientName": "{{clientName}}" } } ] }, "vmwareVendor": { "vcenterHostName": "{{vcenterHostName}}", "virtualCenter": { "password": "{{base64encodedPassword}}", "userName": "{{UserName}
Hi Team, i am just wondering what this setting will excactly do as there is nothing mentioned in the Documentation.If disabled will there only be the Metadata Updated in the Filesystem.?Not like if enabled the data will be read from Library and written again to Library as a Data Verification. Maybe someone can confirm or deny. thanks
Why I Can’t select Mount Paths to where I will perform a fragmentation analysis?I Can’t check the box Analysis.
Hi Guys,I am doing namesapce and cluster restore in place. Restore completed succesfully. but clusterrolebindings names are being restored with different name. I tried with two option owerrite and nırmal restore .How can we fix it?

Hello,To improve out RTO time we are thinking about following scenario:current we backup VM via VSA backup to MA, and AuxCopy then the data to a CIFS share which is sitting on a NetApp with SnapLock configured . In case of ransomware attack, we will restoration via VM restoration process from the CIFS share.In future we want restore in case of disaster direct the volume which host the VMsnow my question is possible to handle this during commvault completely? VM backup configured with IntelliSnap take snapshot on volume, then it triggers a SnapVault to a NearStore only for full backups (SnapLock configured), after this it takes backup copy for standard backup, where we have longer retention and possibility to restore single VM or single files….In case of disaster, we can restore full backup volume via IntelliSnap restoration then we restore VM backups from the standard backup. This should be much faster as restore whole VM from VSA backups.Question is will this work, or is there a thin
