Dears,,I created a new linux virtual machine and installed the Commvault Virtual Server package on it in order to use it as a VSA Access Node for our vCenter environment. However, the server does not appear as an available Access Node, and I am unable to use it for VMware backups.
Good day,We are traying to connect to commvault, using a script, but show this error:<DM2ContentIndexing_CheckCredentialResp loginAttempts="0" remainingLockTime="0" isAccountLocked="0"> <errList errLogMessage="Username/Password are incorrect" errorCode="1116" /></DM2ContentIndexing_CheckCredentialResp>If i try to connect directly to the command center, with the same user and password the connection is sucessfull.

If Compliance Lock is enabled on a Storage Policy, Does it affect anything else in the storage pool?
Hello,We have a client running file system level backups. Recently we associated it with a new storage policy and ran fresh full backups expecting a new Index will be created for that job.Running Synthetic-full backup ( after few incremental backups ) triggers Index restore job from the previous storage policy where the copy data paths were on a different media agent.The Index restore job fails as the communication between the current used media agent and previous one is blocked.Any Idea how to force the creation of new Index or to avoid the reference to the previous Index ? Thanks
Hi, Is it possible to perform a backup using the Block-based Backup technique with Separate proxy for Backup Copy? Client is a virtual machine running Oracle Linux (64-bit), VMware Tools version:11269 (Guest Managed) The data is on the “Hard disk 3” mounted on /mnt/data. It’s an RDM disk. The Block-based Backup technique is working fine. When I check the IntelliSnap option and try to use a Separate proxy for Backup Copy (selecting a virtual machine Linux Media Agent Data Mover), the job completes with errors. Error Code: [32:392]Description: Unable to find OS device(s) corresponding to clone(s). Possible reasons could be 1) Improper FC/iSCSI H/W connection between the host and the array 2) The OS didn't find the device corresponding to the clone. : [Unable to find device(s) corresponding to snap(s)/clone(s)]Source: cvault-ma-09, Process: FileScanAccording to the documentation, Block-level backup operations have the following phases:Snapshot copy phaseBackup copy phaseBoth of thes

I got a scenario description.New PC (win 2025 or win 11), new openJDK (OpenJDK25U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_25.0.1_8) in connection with netx.jar does not work. Test with OpenJDK21U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_21.0.9_10 works as expected. Tested against a 11.40 commserveI tested it with with a windows 2019 box.OpenJDK25Ucommand java –jar netx.jartarget is a 11.36.72 machineconnection Ok, but browser on the left site does not work.! (classic view)Cannot start jobmanager!Same test with OpenJDK21U shows no issues.Checked dokuOpening the CommCell Console Using the Command Line InterfaceThe minimum JRE version on the computer must be the same major version that Commvault deploys (or a newer minor/patch level).It should workThere are many options for the java command. Which options are to use with OpenJDK25U to get the Commcell Console work as before?
I can't add the hypervisor. We've already checked the communications and the credentials are correct. Does anyone have any idea why? The Commvault version is 11.34.28.
Hi, I raised https://github.com/Commvault/cvpysdk/issues/191 for the immediate need we have, but in general I would like to raise more awareness to ensure Commvault SDK’s do not keep on using deprecated API calls going forward. Could someone please own the SDK updates in case a specific API call is deprecated to ensure the correct API endpoints are being used? Thanks!
We are looking at trends in Commvault to provide forecasting on the onsite storage (Hyperscale X). We need to provide the client with possible dates of when the storage will run out based on the past 6 months usage. We are busy implementing a CV metrics server but not sure if this will provide the result/report we need.
Hello, is there any official article in the CV documentation, which would clearly state, that the VM does not need to be protected by the Virtual Server Agent (VSA) to consume a VOI license. As long as the File System Agent is installed and the VM is detected, any in-guest agent backups (e.g., SQL, Oracle, Exchange, AD) will be covered under the VOI license. Arlie gives me the link and says that here this is written explicitely:https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/others/pdf/commvault-complete-license-guide.pdfBut I get error 404 when trying to open it. Best regards, Aleksandra
Hi,We accidentally added fields to the Access Node configuration for SharePoint Online and can no longer remove them. In our case, specifically the field: “shared job results path.”Does anyone know of a way we can remove this field?

Hi,we are currently facing the following situation:We write data on a NAS system via NFS, e.g. on “folder A”. Then we want to create a symlink to this folder, called “folder B”.“Folder B” is then presented via CIFS/SMB to our Windows Media Agents.Will the backup work and backup all the data or will it only see the symlink and just backup the symlink-file?I know that we can just share “folder B” via CIFS, but my colleagues want to do it with the symlink if possible. Any clues or ideas if that would work? BRJan

Hi,I’m trying to back up virtual machines in my OpenShift Virtualization cluster. I’ve already deployed the Access Node within the cluster, and in the Commvault console, I can see the namespaces and pods listed as applications. However, the VMs are not being discovered by the Commvault server.This setup is running in a lab environment, and I’d like to understand why the VMs are not appearing. Could this be due to a misconfiguration, a licensing requirement, or another limitation that prevents Commvault from backing up OpenShift virtual machines?
Imagine asking an AI assistant, “Back up my Docusign documents” — and watching it just happen, securely, with full audit trails and policy enforcement.That’s the promise of Conversational Resilience, a new capability in the Commvault Cloud platform announced at SHIFT that lets you manage and protect enterprise data through simple, natural-language interactions with AI assistants like ChatGPT Enterprise or Claude by Anthropic - all governed by Commvault’s MCP server.Whether you’re a database admin, app owner, or part of a DevOps team, you will be able to perform resilience operations directly in your AI workspace — while your data protection teams maintain centralized governance and compliance in Commvault Cloud. What’s Powering It: The MCP Server Behind the scenes is the Commvault Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server — the secure middleware that connects AI assistants to Commvault Cloud APIs. Every conversational command — from “recover last night’s backup” to “create a new protection
I know I can’t be the only one that faces this problem and I’d like to know how other folks handle it.Requests for application backups can be fairly simple. Backup this server, <drives, paths, server> using <agent type>. Following <RPO/RTO policy>….Etc, Etc.But some backups can get a little to a lot more complicated, especially in high security environments.Some applications have very specific documentation about how to back them up, and more specifically, how vendors will support restoration issues if their procedures aren’t followed. This can be especially problematic in clustered or multi server environments. For example, I have an application I back up that runs a main application server and 4 back-end servers that run various functions.I asked the application owner if they should be backed up as a consistency group? He had no idea what I was was talking about, but worse thought it was my responsibility to figure it out, without his input.There is only 1 me (
Hello Commvault community,I would like some clarification about the traffic flow for auxiliary copy jobs in a Commvault environment integrated with HPE StoreOnce appliances.Scenario: At our primary site, have a StoreOnce appliance used for backup storage. At the DR site, there is a second StoreOnce appliance intended for auxiliary (Copy-2) backups. Specific Question:In our case, I am unsure about the exact data path during the auxiliary copy operation. Does the backup traffic for the auxiliary (Copy-2) copy flow: Directly from StoreOnce at the primary site to StoreOnce at the DR site? or From the primary site's MediaAgent to the primary StoreOnce, then to the DR site's MediaAgent, and finally to the DR StoreOnce? I want to make sure I understand whether the transfer between StoreOnce appliances can leverage Catalyst Copy directly (StoreOnce-to-StoreOnce) or if MediaAgents at both sites are always involved in the path. My main goal is to optimize efficiency and minimize WAN usage fo
