Commvault Cloud Topics

We have observed the following: Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.7 MongoDB Version: 8.0.20 mongodump Version: 100.16.0 Commvault Version: 11.42.90 iDataAgent Version: 11.42.90 We are facing an issue where incremental backups fail, while full backups complete successfully. The error indicates that oplog creation failed. However, when we perform the oplog dump manually, it completes successfully.We also observed that with Commvault/iDataAgent version 11.36.80, both full and incremental backups complete successfully. However, the restore operation fails because the MongoDB service attempts to stop but is not stopped properly by the iDataAgent.

I have a customer running 11.40 and Commvault now has the combo tiers for cloud storage configured by default. My question resides in which tier the bucket should be created. The customer had previously created a bucket in AWS (this may come into play later) that was used to create a Cloud Library in Commvault using the AWS Glacier Deep Archive tier. When examining the data in the bucket, we can see the CHUNK data is written to Glacier Deep Archive however, the index metadata is showing under Glacier Instant Retrieval. This seems wrong to me.I have read that Commvault will apply an Amazon storage class header to every upload API call and then writes the data to the bucket, which is part of what is allowing the CHUNK data to be written to one tier with the index metadata to another tier. I’m starting to believe that the storage class header only is being applied to the CHUNK data and the metadata is using whichever storage tier the AWS S3 bucket was created with. Documentation doesn’t m

We are planning an upgrade from 11.32 to 11.36. With the deprecation of the web console, does this mean that the legacy Compliance Search (not the CommandCenter version), will disappear? We have users still using that, and don’t see many benefits to the CommandCenter version.

Hello Team,Support Portal is unavailable, again. It always seems to happen whenever I am in the middle of a Change that isn’t going to plan. I am beginning to take it personally :) 

Hello Commvault Team,I have a question regarding the operating system support matrix in Commvault 11.46.The Linux File System Agent System Requirements document lists support for:Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 Oracle Linux 10However, Rocky Linux 10 and AlmaLinux 10 are not listed.At the same time, the 1-Touch and Virtualize Me for Linux System Requirements document includes support for AlmaLinux 10 (and Rocky Linux 10).This seems inconsistent, so I would appreciate some clarification.Could you please help answer the following questions?Why are Rocky Linux 10 and AlmaLinux 10 supported for 1-Touch but not for the Linux File System Agent? Is this an intentional support policy or simply a documentation difference? Are Rocky Linux 10 and AlmaLinux 10 currently under validation for the Linux File System Agent? Is support planned for an upcoming Maintenance Release or LTS release?We are currently planning new Linux deployments, and understanding the roadmap will help us decide which operating s

Hi folks,A few questions for you.We have HPE Apollo 420 Gen10 nodes and one of them is reporting a fan failure in its iLO.This has been confirmed by the vendor and we are replacing it soon. In meantime I have checked the HyperScale Health Report and is reporting all fans OK across all nodes.Why is that?How Commvault is providing data to the HyperScale Health Report?If this is not a reliable data, why to bother showing this in the report?

How to produce a Restore report specifically source media is TAPE?  Please note that the SP has the Disk primary and Tape secondary.  Attempted to produce one but unfortunately 'source' media is always disk. 

Hi,what is the best way to allow a user, that created a credential vault, to add further user or groups to this new created vault ?the user is per default, not allowed to change the security settings of his own vault entry.the vault should be made available to other user after it has been created ba a restricted user.the only option I found to achieve this, is to grant the global → change security settings permission on the commcell level.But this will allow the user to change other objects permissions as well, what is not desired.(CommCell is running with CV11.40)rgdsKlaus 

We are exploring the option to upgrade our Commvault environment from 11.36 to v11.44We are running a Windows Commservers and Windows Remote private metrics reporting servers and also Windows Media Agent.Currently, majority if not 90% of our Backup configuration are setup in the CommCell console.I understand there is a push to move to Command Center based approachI would like to seek advice on the gotchas of moving to 11.44 version of Commvault given the setup that we have in place.

Hi everyone,I am looking for advice in associating VM's on a shared vCenter to different companies. We have a big MSP vCenter where a lot of our customers have their VM environment that we protect with Commvault.We currently use server groups that are associated to VM folders on the vCenter. The server group is associated to a company so the VM's are automatically associated to a company. This feels a bit of a workaround but it is working at the moment.I also saw thread Assignment of VM's to Companies which explains this solution with VM tags which is almost the same solution.As the referenced thread is 3 years old, is there a better way to do this? We tried adding the same vCenter multiple times to create different selections for companies but this does not work.Kind regards,Paul G

We use VMWARE and use lots of SQL AGS.  We backup the SQL databases at the AG level however I am wondering what would be the best way to recover incase of a cyber event.   The plan I have is to take an initial snapshot all the VMs after installing SQL server on a VM and then use SQL and MSDB databases backups; and every time a server is patched take a full file system backup of the OS and location where system databases are stored.  SQL Agent would continue to protect the user databases  When a system fails completely > Restore from initial VM level backup  >  Restore file and folders via the agent based backups > Restore the databases via the DB backups Any other ideas...  SQL team dont want vms to be snapped regularly 

Hi, all Due business restrictions we cannot download 11.24 zipped package for Windows. Is possible to get a link like I received last time in March for 11.20? Thank you in advance. Best regards,George

Hello,Notes Database 9.0.x (IBM Domino 9.0.x Social Edition 64 bit) is not in list of supported versions for 11.36. and 11.40 agent versions (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/commcell-console/notes_database_system_requirements.html).Last it was mentioned as supported at least in 11.24. I need to upgrade agent from 11.24 to 11.36 or 11.40. Does anyone has practical experience, will it work?At same time  “IBM Domino 9.0.x Social Edition 64 bit” in not in Deprecation Notices list: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/deprecation_notices.htmlThank you! 

Hi,what is the best way to achieve, that a (restricted) user, who created a derived plan, gets the permission to change security settings of his new created plan ?I’d like/need to share the plan with all members of a specific user/secrity group.The plan should be accessible by all members of that groupthe system created Role: Plan Creator is automatically assigned, but this does not include the change security settings permissions and cannot be altered, since system created.(CommCell is running on CV11.40)rgdsKlaus

Hi all. I need help or inspiration. Scenario is as follows:I have a Windows Vmware server with SQL with the databases and system databases spread out on different disks/mountpoints. I do a Vmware snapshot backup of the system drive (C:\) and filter out the data disks (all other drives) I do a SQL backup via agent I need to do a Disaster recovery test restore of the server, which means, restore the server so that it is working again. I do the following to restore the server:Restore the Vmware server (Only C:\ drive is available) Adds new disks/mountpoints in vmwareNow I have a server with the restored SQL installation and the empty drives. Only problem is that the SQL server is deprecated. When trying to do a SQL system database restore from Commvault, I would get the message, that the SQL server is not running, which is correct, as it cannot start without the system databases.    Then as I understands it I have two options:Rebuild the master database: https://documentation.commvault.co

Dear Community,Perhaps anyone can answer me the following question. My customer use storage accelerator (SA)  for backups and Aux copies to cloud. Now he asked:How can I easy see that SA was used or not?We are at 11.36.55. First, I asked Arlie but answer seems only partly correct. I am still at the beginning to check all points Arlie told me. Java GUI is not useful in this case. It shows allegedly only results if SA is used. To make a clear statement, I always must check the log file.In the command center, I must differentiate between backup jobs and Aux copy jobs.Backup jobs indeed have a line: storage accelerator yes/no which is the expected behavior.According to Arlie, there should also be a line for Aux copy jobs that clearly indicates the use of SA.I am not able to find. Can you help?My customer needs a clear indication on user level that shows if an aux copy uses the SA or not.We currently analyze logs or the network traffic to get clear results which is not useful. Thanks in adv

As often, Arlie can't answer my question. The first response is always very confident, but when I ask for documentation, links, or other supporting information, it backs down and ultimately tells me to contact Commvault Support or my Commvault account representative.And Commvault Support has become pretty good at simply forwarding Arlie's answers, so I think the quickest way to get a real answer is to ask here.We need to backup Atlassian Jira. I see Commvault SaaS has a solution for this.But what if I want to back it up on-premisses. Is this possible?Arlie says no problem, simular as Saas, but cannot provide me more info than that.So, my question, can we? And if so, can I find this information and configuation guide online?

Hi everyone,I'm looking for some advice regarding a tape backup issue in Commvault.Environment:    Commvault Web Console v11.40.42    HPE Ultrium LTO-6 standalone tape driveThis tape drive was previously used in another backup solution. Before using it with Commvault, I:    Stamped the tape media.    Used the Delete and Reuse option to erase the existing contents.    Set the tape as Primary media.    Started a backup job.The first backup completes successfully and writes about 1.16 TB of data. However, after the backup finishes, the tape media is usually marked as Unavailable, and sometimes it is marked as Full.From my understanding, an LTO-6 tape should have a native capacity of around 2.5 TB, so I'm not sure why Commvault considers the tape full after only about 1.16 TB of backup data.When I start another backup job, Commvault prompts me to insert a new tape instead of continuing to write to the current tape.I also noticed the following:    If I power cycle the tape drive, the tape a

Hi All I have enabled the Multi person authorization - Restore request. The users I have in my environment only have very few permissions, only able to do backup and restores.Now that the above have been enabled, my users don’t see the request in the job controller in the Java Console even though I have placed them in the “User groups which can authorize the request”.If I look in the documentation under Multi person authorization - FAQ it states:3. Do users need special permissions to be an approver to authorize requests?No, users do not need any specific permissions to approve a request. Instead, they must belong to the user group configured as the approver group.FAQ for Multi-Person Authorization But still its not working, as the users cannot see the request. What am I missing, I guess some permissions anyway? Regards-Anders 

Hi,I’m using Microsoft CSVs for quite some time now, to setup shared libraries on block storage.My current setup on Windows 2025 (24H2) is now reporting an incompatible filter driver in the filesystem stack.Up to Windows 2022, I do not see this behaviour.The incompatible driver, leads to indirect I/Os against the Filesystems, which leads to a degradation in throughput and increase in CPU and network utilization on the MediaAgents.Is there an update available, fixing this in CV11.40 ?I’m currently using MR56 in the environment and deactivated the Ransomware Protection on the MediaAgents to avoid this.Once activated, the CVDLP filter driver gets active again and the ClusterVolumeState changes from direct to indirect due to incompatible filter driver.I faced a similar issue some 10 years ago with Version 11.6 of Commvault and Microsoft 2012R2, where this has been solved by Commvault with a patch/FixBRKlaus

Good morning,I'm trying to optimize the RAM usage on the Commserver. The Commserver is currently running on OS 2022 with SP 11.36 and has 80 GB of memory.At the moment, I consistently see memory usage of around 85%. SQL Server is using approximately 31 GB, while datacube.exe is using about 21 GB.The Commserver is also running indexing, which has 20 GB reserved, and SQL Server has 31 GB allocated.What would be the best way to reduce the overall RAM usage? Is 31 GB allocated to SQL Server too much?I understand that it's generally recommended to reserve about 50% of the total RAM for SQL Server, but I'd appreciate your advice on the optimal configuration in this case. What would happen if I reduced the amount of RAM allocated to indexing or to SQL Server? Are there any potential performance impacts or risks that I should be aware of?
