Does commvault store the free space information for Oracle log volumes at the end of the backup?

I know that commvault checks log space and can alert against it, what I don’t know is is this is stored somewhere in the database.

CIS1 hardened image

Hi! I wanted to test out the hardened Commvault image available to download from the storehttps://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/130/704/20288 I have downloaded the ova and deployed it to VMware environment. During deployment I have specified new hostname and password, but I cannot login to the VM because the password I set don’t work. The hostname is changed only after a manual reboot but password is not working.OVA deployment is pretty straight-forward and it is something I am rather familiar with, but I cannot get this to work. I’m wondering if anyone has similar experience or am I missing something?

Oracle on AIX backup using Copy Data Management / forever incremental backups

Hello,I have this use case I would like to discuss:Our customer has Oracle databases on AIX (all combinations - RAC/no RAC, ASM/Filesystem).They would like to implement forever incremental backups (especially for the larger databases - about 100TB).We have implemented this before (another customer) but only with Oracle RAC ASM on Linux…Since there are more combinations here and a different OS, I would like to confirm the following:Will it be supported? I found different information on commvault’s documentation.. which would be correct? see below.Here I see Linux and AIX are supported: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/20582_oracle_copy_data_management.html Here i see that only Linux is: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/134712_system_requirements.htmlIf supported, I see that hardware snapshots are available only for non-rac oracle DBs. Is this correct? Does it matter if DB is ASM or FS? (storage system is IBM FS7200, which I found to be compatible with

Oracle / Selective Copy

Hi All, today i saw in one enviroment with the following setup: Each Oracle Server has 3 Subclients: Archivelog, Default, Selective and the jobs goes to 1 Disk Library2 Sync Tape3 Selective Tape We had oracle Subclients which takes Daily Full and hourly archive log backup and monthly selective. I Checked the jobs in the Selective Tape Copy and i find for each month double Jobs. The normal daily full was written to the selective copy and also the selective copy was written. Is this normal ? Becasue than we did not need the selöective subclient any more. My standig was that only selctive db backups can copy to the selective copy.

Copy backup data from tape library to Cloud Library (Cloudian)

We have a storage policy with aux copies that was sending disk backups to a tape library. The library in question that contained all these tapes has been decommissioned. A new library was stood up and all tapes were put into this new tape library. However the aux copy that represents this data belonged to a different media server and physical library. We are trying to figure out how to take the data sent to the AUX copy in the old storage policy and move it to a new Cloudian array that has been configured as a Cloud library.

License server on metrics server

Hi All, Can someone help out with this question of mine:Can I have a new host installed with private metrics/webserver package to also be a licensing server to my commservers? Do my new host mandatory needs to have commcell package also? Previously I definitely knew that comcell package was not required… Did something change along the way? I previously had to create new host (VM), install metrics/webserver package mssql,iis, restore CVCloud db and that was it (even licensing which was configured also transferred with the restore of CVCloud db on the new host), in every commcell change the upload url path to this new host and that’s it - it was worldwide metrics host for my commcells. I got a ticket 220726-122 raised but it confused me even more...

HyperScale 1.5 Reference Architecture Firmware Upgrade

We have a HyperScale 1.5 Storage Pool with 3 nodes Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 Server. We plan to upgrade Operating System from RedHat 7.7 to RedHat 7.9 (using Commvault workaround well documented). Since the firmware is not updated since they were first installed, we would like to update it, but it's not clear from the documentation if we can update all HW components or we have to check a compatibility matrix first. The link is: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/113649_shared_responsibility_model_for_hyperscale_reference_architecture_platform_maintenance_and_upgrades.html Should we update all the firmware server components (BIOS, HBAs, NICs...)?Thanks all
