Hey Guys!I have no experience in automation. I want to apply for a job that requires IaC. That's all that I know. I don't know what kind of IaC they are talking about. It's a large enterprise environment. What are your CommVault IaC solutions? There are different solutions, like Ansible. What is supported by CommVault, or what solution works best for you? I know you can save as script, write qcommand scripts, using the Powershell cmdlet, but what is more common nowadays? What are the benefits of your IaC solutions, why did you implement it, what are the best use cases, and why was it your best decision, otherwise, what do you dislike, and what are some downsides? What kind of automation does not work with CommVault but would be great, what are some features which are you waiting for? Thank you a lot! Kr
Hello, we would like to tier out the data, wich is stored on the disk library to an Huawei Object Storage. I created a secoundary copy and configured an aux copy schedule. The problem is that the disk library disc space is running low because the job is not as fast as I was hoping.The amount of data for the copy job can be up to 10 TB.Is there a solution to speed up the aux copy job ? The Media Agents provide 2x10 Gbit cards.RegardsThomas
Dear All ,i need some clarification on the below , we have depoloyed hyperscal x nodes and started backup activities , we would like to harden the security , we are planning to perform the following ,1> Enabling ransdomware protection on hyperscale nodes2> currently encryptions are not set global ddb or storage polocy ,storage pool or client side , i would like to where we is it better to enable the encrpytion3> enabling retention lock or WORM - best practices to achieve immutability 4> disabling root account access since the backup operation already started to hyperscale x cluster ,above activities affect the operations ?is there anything to be taken care before performing this , also do we have any evidence to show that the backed up data are write protected and wont be able to modified
Hello all We have a problem with Commvault resources usage on the IBM Spectrum Scale server. During the backup at the scanning phase, Commvault uses more than 60% of CPU and RAM OS: AIXhow can we allocate resources to Commvault not exceeding it?more explanation why Commvault uses RAM?
Hello Community our DBA is requesting assistance in retrieving the MSSQL LSN number from the Commvault log.For this MSSQL AG (Availability Group) backup, I accessed the active node during the backup process and examined the sqlida.log file. However, despite increasing the SQLIDA debug level to 10, the LSN information does not appear to be present in the log. Just discovered that the LSN information can be found in the sqlbackup.log file only. However, I'm curious as to why certain SQL servers have both the sqlbackup module and the sqldia module, while others only have the sqldia module.

Hello, i have a project that a client will deploy HSX RA on Hpe proLient DL360 in the environment. i have never implemented HSX Before.and i have checked the documentation for the RA installation and network configuration. https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/154258_setting_up_installation_media_for_hyperscale_x_reference_architecture.htmlmy question is is there’s a guild explains step by step the installation starting from configuring the servers, and the HSX imaging ?my blind step is how the image will be installed?dhcp is not enabled.documentation says that u’ll use a windows machine that can connect to the nodes and download the iso from the store then mount the image and start the installation.1 - do i need to mount the iso on each node from the ILO ?2- how the nodes can communicate during the installation as when you start configuring the first node it searchs for the other nodes.

I want to explain a problem we have:Hardware WORM was active on all of our disk libraries. We are not aware of having activated this functionality and as support indicated, there is no trace that we have executed a workflow to activate it.Despite that, the WORM functionality was not active in any of our Storage Policies, only at the disk library level. We could change the retention of our copies, delete backups, micro-prunning working, and our databases were NEVER sealed. We updated version 11.28 to 11.30 and suddenly the “WORM Storage” feature is activated in ALL storage policies at storage pool level.As per the below document, this changes are applied on SP30 onwards, if hardware WORM is enabled:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/essential/149133_changes_in_commvault_platform_release_2023.html Now we cannot delete backups, nor change the retention of our copies and ALL databases will be sealed every X days, micro-prunning disable. In addition, we have not been able to plan the
Hello, I have a fresh installation of Commvault version 11.28.56. I am attempting to connect to our vCenter instance through the Command Center GUI. After putting in the information to ‘Add Hypervisor’ I receive a ‘Request body is empty or format is invalid.’ error. Clicking equivalent API shows the following:{ "vcenterHostName": "172.16.123.10", "name": "vCenter", "accessNodes": [ { "id": 2, "name": "n1-prod-commvlt" } ], "userName": "vsphere.local\\administrator", "password": "cGFzc3dvcmQ=", "hypervisorType": "VMware", "skipCredentialValidation": false} Attached is the error. I have tried vsphere.local\administrator, administrator@vsphere.local, and a Windows AD account. I ensured the ‘VSA’ software was installed on the access node. Any help is appreciated!Error
Hi All,How to update media agents after upgrading Commcell from 11.21 to 11.28
I accidentally backed up all of the content on my file server and didn’t mean to. Now my local storage is out of space and I don’t want this copied to MRR secondary.Is there a way for me to delete the jobs?
Hi guys,has anyone experience with iSCSI-attached tape libraries and the sharing of the drives? It should work, but it is not really documentated and I am concerned about performance, stability and functionality. Even more, if only one network is available for both, regular network traffic and iSCSI connection. Any information/experiences would be apreciated. thanks a lot!

Network send failed: The network connection was lost unexpectedlyPotrei ricevere supporto per la risoluzione di questo errore?Could I receive support in resolving this error? GrazieCarmine
Just few questions ,we are having hyperscale x nodes , we have standard storage policy - primary copies - are the backup data in this are WORM by default ? can it be modified ? also what about immutability , do we need to perform Enable Retention Lock Workflow. to achieve immutability ??if we have storage policy encryption , do we need to do Software Encryption on HyperScale Storage
Hello there,We’ve tried to upgrade our commserv from 11.24 to 11.28, but it failed ob the database upgradewith this error :Cannot create more than one clustered index on table 'JMJobOptions'.

after install of the oracle client on rhel8.8 machine, i am unable to discover databases. getting this error in the logs:577603 8d043 06/29 16:02:15 ### NetMessage::verifyResponseHeader() - Error Code [547] returned - [Problems executing [AppInsertInstanceProp], Line[137] :The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "APP_InstanceProp_componentNameId_FK". The conflict occurred in database "CommServ", table "dbo.APP_InstanceName", column 'id'.]. i have been comparing this client to ones that are not having the issue and i can not find any reason for these clients to be different. i do have a case open with commvault but no response yet other than to check that oracle was running.
I’d like to perform the steps to enable ‘Reconcile Backup’ that are outlined in the document below via the API. I can’t find the details via standard API calls or a relevant qscript to GET or SET the reconcile backup setting, does anyone have any guidance as to how I can achieve this?https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/144833_reconciling_backups_of_windows_file_system_subclients.htmlMany thanks
