Hello Community,I have a problem, that the Index Cache Directory usage grows steadily (~ 2Gb per week) and currently 80% of free space is consumed.Due to specifics of the environment, Load Balancing and adding free space is almost impossible. As per the CV documentation, the active metadata are deleted from Index Cache, when the corresponding jobs meet retention:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/commcell-console/backupset_level_indexing_index_cache_cleanup.html#index-cleanupand the compaction process happens every 30 days by default:https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/compaction-enforce-days.htmlCan I use the Additional Setting COMPACTION_ENFORCE_DAYS to set another frequency for the Compaction process, e.g. 1 week? I expect, that then the metadata from aged jobs will be deleted every week, rather than every month, and this will free up space in Index Cache.Is this assumption correct?What impact can this setting have on the environment? Best regards, Aleksandr

we are planning for upgrading cs and SQL version without the hardware refresh, Please help here with the known issues and the necessary steps for upgradation

I’m working with a customer to test Proxmox backups and am a bit confused.  When I go to the Proxmox config page I don’t have an access node which is expected since we haven’t set it up yet.  When I click on the link to download it, I get an VSA_x64.exe, which is a Windows executable.  From documentation I understand we have to install it on at least one of the cluster nodes which are a flavor of linux.  Is the idea to download the CV linux binaries using the VSA_x64 executable?  If so, what would be the proper package(s)? Also, it is a little confusing with the documentation as I’m reading it; do we need VSA installed on all the nodes in the cluster or just a single node to act as the access node?Thanks in advance!

Commvault environment is on V11 SP40.6Hana instances reside on a cluster environment where the cluster IP is internal.

Hi,I have few questions about compliance lock and the retention of last full backup.How does the retention of the last full backup work in a storage with a compliance lock? Is the retention for the last full backup updated when a new full backup is added at the end of the month? I know that compliance lock can't lower the retention.For example, if a full backup occurred on the 15th day of the month considered as the last full backup of month and the retention is set to 1 year, but on the 30th day of the month a new full backup occurred and it is the real last full backup of the month, does the first full backup will update the retention date even if it is in a storage with compliance lock.Is it recommended to select "Last full backup" for a extended retention job with compliance lock? Do you recommended to use instead "First full backup" with compliance lock? What is the best practice?

Hi Team, Noticed there are a number of specialist badges for Commvault -  Commvault Cloud SaaS for Microsoft Azure VMs - CredlyCore Security Features on Commvault Cloud SaaS - CredlyCommvault Cloud Rewind on Commvault Cloud SaaS - Credly  Would very much like to add these to my arsenal of certifications..Does anyone know how to obtain these? I thought maybe through these -  CSF SaaS - Microsoft Azure VMsCSF SaaS - Core Security FeaturesCSF SaaS - Cloud Rewind But that doesn’t seem to trigger the credly assignment :(  Thanks,Hayden

Hi,additionally to my previous post regarding support for Rocky Linux 9.6 I now ask for support for Rocky Linux 9.7 or Rocky Linux 9 in general. I think this would be a curial step for Commvault to go from Windows to Linux and also allow customers to chose their distro.Why:On December 1st Rocky Linux 9.7 has been released. The Release policy for Rocky Linux: Rocky Linux does not support point releases once a newer one is available. Once a new minor point release is available, the older one is immediately considered end of life and users must upgrade to continue receiving security updates. For example, once 8.5 gets a general release, 8.4 is immediately end of life. SourceAre there any plans for changing the documentation to support Rocky Linux 9 in the latest point release?

Hi,Is it possible to show which user and what files were download from the WebConsole?For example, if I’m restoring any file I’m getting a job with details, but for the download action I can see the action in the audit trail report but with now details of the user or the file itself, I can see only the browse action of the folder Thanks 

Hi Team,I am running CommServe version 11.40.30 on Linux, and I am facing an issue where Command Center dashboards show incomplete information.The following dashboards are affected: Health Storage Space Storage Some sections are missing or empty. While reviewing the logs, I found the following errors: SEVERE: failed to retrieve data for datasource [cs], dataset [GetTopUsedDiskLibraries], user [admin], error [Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.] SEVERE: failed to execute cache query for dataset [GetTopUsedDiskLibraries], cacheId [87c1520841b54f0388a2f5fe31ddcdbb], error [Table "Cache_93e2cdc681ac4744b54ea90cca217b30" not found (this database is empty)] SQL statement: SELECT * FROM [Cache_93e2cdc681ac4744b54ea90cca217b30] ORDER BY "Date to be Full"Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is this related to Command Center cache tables or database corruption? Are there any known fixes or recommended troubleshooting steps? Any guidance or similar

Hi everyone,I am currently performing a hardware refresh/migration from a legacy Media Agent to a new Commvault HyperScale Edge (Single Node).Current Setup: CommServe is on a separate dedicated server. Legacy MA: Windows Server with local disk libraries (NTFS). New Setup: HyperScale Edge (Single Node). Already joined to the CommCell, and the HyperScale Storage Pool is created. Proposed Migration Plan: Since I cannot simply move the DDB/Disk (due to the architecture change to HS Storage Pool), I plan to do a Side-by-Side migration: Create a Secondary Copy on the existing Storage Policies. Set the Target Library as the new HyperScale Storage Pool. Run Auxiliary Copy to sync all data. Once synced, Promote the Secondary Copy to Primary. Decommission the old MA. My Questions: Is this the recommended workflow for migrating to HyperScale? When creating the Secondary Copy, should I expect any specific behavior regarding the DDB association, since the target is a Storage Pool? A

HelloIs the default policy enabled when creating the Exchange plan sufficient for clearing out older messages or mailboxes? Our default retention period is set to one year. However, when I check the Office 365 storage policy and the retention reason, I see "Data Aging Disabled" listed.

For Oracle database backups on Commvault, what is the recommended approach to use retention rules? The recommended approach is to use retention rules based on number of cycles or days?

Hi all,we upgraded to the latest release 11.36.33 (from 11.32) and, according to this documentation page (https://kb.commvault.com/article/54270) we should have MongoDB 7.0...but if I check the MongoDB instance that is running now on the commserve, I got release number 6.0.14.Do you have any idea why there is this mismatch ?RegardsGianluca

We have configured the Cassandra backup and initiated the backup job. The job status shows Running, but the data is not being transferred.We checked the logs, and they are showing Failed.Kindly help us to resolve this issue. I have attached the screenshot for reference.

what is the major difference between CV-BKRC-FT and CV-DR-FT?

Team,One of my customer is on SP20, post discussions we have finally convinced them to move on to the latest SP (as per documentation, the latest LTS is SP40), is it advisable to move directly from SP20 to SP40? what will be impact if this is done? Or do we have to upgrade to SP32? If yes, SP32 is also announced EOL.

I have question . i install new CS v11sp40 choose all in one install. i open Command center on web browser . i try login .it sucess but system return login again . not access to UI interface. Could you please suggest a solution? 

I have removed a client that we didn’t need anymore, but I forgot to first remove it from commvault.Now when the client is gone, I can’t remove it in commvault from the client computers?

Customer is backing Azure NetApp Files. Can they tap on CV managed backup gateway so they dont need to manage any infra?What are the caveats? I understand that the traffic will be going through public endpoints? Any egress charges for customer?

 Question on GUI audit trail. It was my understanding that the audit trail captures all CommCell console gui operations that are being doneon the Commvault environment and many more. The Commvault documentation appear to show this is not the case.  Loading Commvault licence for example is not reflected in the GUI Audit trail.  So if GUI audit trail does not capture these significant changes or config change in the environment, then what Commvault report does it.  I raise this question as it is very important that we have some tracking as to what changes are being done in the environment and if the GUI audit trail does not track everything and no other Commvault feature does then it makes it hard to monitor any changes (unapproved changes ) done in the environment.Thoughts, suggestions and reactions are most welcome

Recently we did a upgrade of Commvault to 11.36 from 11.32. During the update, the update failed on our index server because the disk was full. We freed up some space and was able to complete the update. After the update, everything backs up fine except exchange which is our index server. I have gotten nowhere with support. Is there anything I can look for on the index server or Commvault itself? I am running out of ideas. 

I have an Oracle 12.1 environment and need to keep the archive logs for 24 hours. I tried multiple configurations:Subclients (Default and ArchiveLog): Tested with “Archive Delete” enabled and disabled. Schedule: Tried “Delete Archive Log” with: Older than 1 day and Backed up 2 times. Also tested with these options disabled. Results: The only change occurred when using Older than 1 day and Backed up 2 times, which added the following line:delete noprompt archivelog until time = 'sysdate-1' backed up 2 times to sbt;However, the line:(archivelog all delete input);remains in the script, and I don’t know how to remove it.I will try a custom script, but I prefer a Commvault solution. During my research, I found a possible approach using three subclients:Default: Full backup + archive logs without deleting. Archivelogs: Hourly backups of archive logs without deleting. DeleteArchive: Daily deletion of archive logs.For now, this option is not possible because even with every delete flag disabl
