Hi,I want to collect or check how much capacity is consumed each client. is there any scripts or automated way rather than check every client’s job history?
During a routine check I found that Commvault is reporting many of our customers’ Teams azure apps are missing permission “ChannelMessage.Read.All”.I requested a couple of customers to check, and they are saying it’s not missing.Anyone else seeing the same? Know why?This is 11.28.63
Dear Team, How we can install remotely for out side office employee without using VPN services. Because when we are in office than all connectivity is properly but out of office network can its possible.
Greetings.Anyone know if a list exists, where I can read about new known issues after a hotfix?What I mean, if there are any new known problems that might have an impact on our backup service if we upgrade to 11.28.68, that we didn’t have in .63..

Hello!Customer has this TL that is partitioned. There's a partition for Commvault. Originally it had 11 slots and some drives.Customer added 30 slots but they don't get recognized by Commault (and so the tapes on them).Full scan does not update the slot count.What must be done to recognize the new added slots?Regards,Pedro
Running DB2 agent level backup, backup size is about 1.9TB. Four tablespace, one tablespace is about 1.2TB. First hour backup performance is good(about 250Mbps), Commvault is backing up the 4 tablespace in parallel. From 2nd hour, Commvault only backup the huge tablespace, backup performance is only 100Mbps with one session.How to backup one tablespace with multiple session? or any other way to improve backup performance?

Hello Everyone, I am looking for some advise based on your experience as there is no standard guidelines from Commvault. My customer has Large DB between 2 TB-6 TB and is looking for a faster recovery time.We are considering to increase the backup streams , the question is how many streams should be added ? Is it based on the size AND if the DB has multiple files? 1 stream per data file ? Number of streams for DB with single fileAny best practices to fasten the recovery time is appreciated, thank you !!
We ran into issues with our vault tracker (VT) reports not being send following the upgrade to FR30. While running the schedule report the scheduledreport.exe crashed. Following conducted research and conversations with development it turns out to be the case that they assumed the stylesheet option wasn't being used by customers and they were already planning the phaseout of the underlying code path. There are no intentions to fix the current implementation but to look for the ability to address it via the report engine. So, beware you can run into issues and that there is no immediate solution.
On all of our storage plans we have an auxiliary copy that is uploaded to an S3 bucket, we have been doing some DR scenario testing recently which has involved failing over to our CS server in AWS.How does the indexing work when doing a browse and restore operation? We have no index server in AWS however for the restores i’ve tested (when using the S3 data copies) it appears to be running a restore job & completing successfully, is the indexes stored in the s3 buckets?
My exchange backups are running long again like they did when I first started backing up. My backup health is at 76%.Does anyone know why this would happen?
I’m trying to restore a OneNote notebook and it’s not restoring in Teams. The error suggests to check “Notes.ReadWrite.All” permissions in my Azure app and I’ve confirmed that the permission is there and valid.
I just recently set up Office 365 for Metallic, but I don’t see the storage details. Where can I find these?
Hi all,I’m trying to do a restore from an old domain to a new one from an Archive mailbox, I was wondering why the restore keeps creating another folder and going to the old domain?
I have 3 LTO7 tapes that were previously used for Microfocus Data Protector, then we wanted to use them for Commvault backups. But strange things started to happen with those tapes.1. Commvault recognized them as completely empty tapes, despite having information from the other backup tool.2. When I launched the copies the first 2 were filled with 6TB and 300GB.3. The third tape fills up with 2TB and goes into append state and doesn't let me use it by asking for a new tape.I already formatted it twice but the same thing keeps happening. But I see that the formatting that it does does not take it to the drive, it only does it at a logical level with the data from Commvault. In Commvault, is there a way to format it and purge all the data to be able to use the tapes in their entirety?
Hello,Trying to test Azure file share backup and restore from on-prem Commcell using MA on Azure.Adding a new content group and browse the content of the storage account gives no results even though content is there ( on zure side ).Credentials were set properly ( Account name + Access key ) and the file sahre entiity can be accessed. Any ideas ? Thanks

So I created a job summary report from the commcell GUI, filling in all items abd adding it to be scheduled. The report is created a a CONSOLE report. But when I look at the result in the scheduler it’s been, magically or by commvaults visdom, changed to be a job summary webreport. Nothing noticed me about the change and in the GUI there is a specific selection to create a Job Summary as a web report.Where can I find the announcement of this change?? The web report contains loads of informatiuon I don’t need, so now I have to go and build a new customized web report? Where as the GUI report had an easy click “summery” I need to create a new report with just that info.If anyone can point me to that “one button” on the web report I’d much appreciate it. I understand that Commvault is trying to make things easier and more streamline, but that defenetly is causing issues in some areas, specificlly if one is used to the more granular control of the environment.BRHenke
Hello,I have 2022E version of Commvault server in Azure installed. Then I created a Windows media agent and one Windows Access node (VSA agent). I created a Azure cloud library and a server plan. Then I created an IAM AD application (the traditional authentication way) in Azure and then a hypervisor client in Commvault. Then I followed instructions for autoscaling of the access nodes: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/128139_auto_scaling_for_azure_access_nodes.htmlI would like to present this functionality to the customer before it will be transferred to production. The configuration seems to be OK, but all test backups are running via the 1st access node I created before. Unfortunately I have only 4 windows VM’s for testing. In the documentation the condittion for creation of next access nodes are:“The Commvault software determines the number of access nodes to create based on the following characteristics: The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) The throughput rate T
