Hi,I am looking into https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/45929_rest_api_delete_client.htmlto delete clients. It is mentioned in the document that there is setting called ‘forceDelete’ - does anybody know how to use it in the actual API call? I’ve tried to add it in the URL itself, in the headers, in the payload. Does not work.

Hello,I’m looking for a way to set a timeout for PreBackup and PostBackup process.My expectation was a default timeout of 600 seconds. Therefore I created a batch script which has a wait of 700 seconds included. Commvault was patiently waiting for the script to finish, but I would like to have a timeout after which Commvault fails the job.Does anybody know a way to set such a timeout? I could not find any hint on this and also no additional setting.

Good Day,we recently migrated a bunch of Backupjobs from primary Copy to Secondary-Copy (Tape) and deleted the jobs in the primary Copy.Due to a demand from the project, we need the copied backup jobs back in the primary pool.Unfortunately I am not able to select the storagepool in a thirdcopy in the storagepolicy → create new copy.Is there a way to migrate the jobs back?Best regards

Hi! Wondering if it is possible to have a remote Commserve used in a Livesync configuation communicate back to the initial Commserve via a deployed Network Gateway or Network Proxy Appliance? All agents, media agents at site will use the Network Gateway but is it possible for the remote Commserve to communicate through it as well? 

2 related questions -If a drive dies on one of the nodes in my RA setup, and that capacity drive is no longer available but a larger one is, can I replace the drive with the larger capacity one and the system operate with perhaps using a fraction of the capacity?  e.g. a 8TB drive dies, could I replace it with a 12TB drive (& perhaps the system just use 8TB of that space)? I want to add an additional node, but the new nodes are only available with larger capacity drives.  Can I do that, and if Yes then will it use a subset of the capacity so the usable is the same as the existing nodes?Thanks.

i know that we are currently using OpenJDK for opening the commcell in new installations.but seeing as Oracle is changing their license model, we have been getting qeustions.is this something that will automatically/changed be updated during a new update?or will customers with an old installation need to manually remove and re-install the Commcell? thank you,  kind Regards, Thos Gieskes.

Pretty simple one.I deleted an ida from a client, the binaries are still there so I just need to readd the Ida. How do I do thing?

Need assistance on how do we integrate POWERBI with Commvault for custom reporting.

HI, Is there any straightforward Link(s) that can tell me the pre-checks for MA’s and clients  (OS and SQL minimum patches as pre-requisites) for updating to 11.28.44 ? Windows 2008 R2Windows 2016 R2Windows 2019 R2Centos Linux 7Thanks,RicM

Hi team,I need a recommendation for our vmware backups.Our situation is as follows;Definition 1: With DefaultBackupSet, we back up approximately 1000 VMs with a large number of subclients every day with incr and on weekends with Synthetic Full.Definition 2: With another BackupSet, we are backing up VMs with 1 tag in Vcenter every Friday. There are about 2500 VMs. Jobs work as incr on Friday, we can't run full because backup takes too long. We shorten the time by taking incr and Synthetic Full works after the subclient is finished.Both types of backup are done with NBD, not suitable for our SAN and Hot-add environment.We use 10 virtual proxies in total.Since backups working with Definition 2 start incr, if it has a new VM tag, it automatically converts to Full. If there is a VM backed up with both definitions, it continues as Incr.Now the config made here may be wrong, but I need this, what do you recommend?- As in Definiti

Hi,is it possible to get a notification if an AUX copy job fails? We had a problem with the tape library and we saw the problem a few days later.  RegardsDennis

Hello We are planning an Commvault upgrade from FR11.24.xx to FR11.28.5X. We still have a lot of 2012 servers and SQL2012 servers. Wat would be better? Let the agent on win 2012 on FR11.24.9x,  or upgrade the clients to 11.26.xx.Commvault 11.26.xx is the last Commvault version that supports Windwos 2012 and SQL2012.  If we use additional setting we could upgrade the client to FR11.26.xx  Thanks in advance!

Hello Good morning,please help, I have a backup of a Hyper-V with Job Id 30030 which backs up about 100 Virtual machines, according to the images attached, I just need to copy the VM Job 30084 (only one machine of the 100), from disk or tape to another tape completely with a different retention this from the console and not from the command center, because according to customer requirements are not used plans. this is the backup job of the hyper-v with the 100 machines 👇 and this is the VM job 30084 from the copy of the virtual machine that I need to send to a completely different tape  👇 

Hi Team, Greetings! I hope all are well. How often do we have to complete the multi-factor authentication MFA process? is it every time, we close and open the commcell console ? we need to authenticate MFA ? and also is there any setting we need to configure for it ? 

is there a way to setup log rotate / truncate for the cvd or the mysqlbackupparent.log within commvault ? or is it just done from a native cron?

Good day All.I am busy with an implementation to configure WORM from Commvault and writing to HYDRAstor. The solution makes use of both Intellisnap and streaming backups.The challenge is that the requirement has requirements for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly retention.What is the best method to configure this?I have seen that the Snap Primary copy and Primary copy needs to have the same retention. How do you cater for the extended retention requirement? Is it possible to enable Extended Retention on the Primary copy or is the only way to create secondary copies for each retention requirement and enable WORM on those copies/storage pools?The challenge with HYDRAstor is to reduce reads as much as possible but when Aux copies run between the copies it initiates reads in order to write to the next copy for the new retention.I understand that the jobs/storage pools can be deleted If any of the copies were configured incorrectly but Support would be

I built a workflo that I would like to deploy on another commcell and its coming down as a .TML instead of a .XML.I thought maybe i did something wrong- but all the workflows i have built even the built-in ones are exporting like that. Anyone else having this issue?
