HiWe want to configure Hyperscale data and storage network interfaces with bonding option but currenlty we do not have network resources for second network interface cable connection to switch for both data and storage networks.

Hi I can’t seem to find any documentation for FR.11.30 Is there a link to what new features it has? 

Hi to all,at a customer I perform an NDMP backup of a Volume containing a VMware Datastore (5 year retention).I need to change the backup type from NDMP to VSA backup (vCenter Client) protecting the entire Volume itself.My question is should I buy double the license capacity or does Commvault understand that it is protecting the same data?The customer has a TB capacitive "Complete" license.

Hi! Just want to ask how the reference architecture for hyperscale X would be licensed. After acquiring a per node license, do we still need to purchase Backup and Recovery or Disaster Recovery licenses to enjoy backup and DR? Would appreciate any input on this. Thank you! 

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/9251_configuring_worm_storage_mode_on_cloud_storage.html Does this workflow works with any storage vendor who provide S3 compatible storage? If not, what are the criteria requried on the storage array? Thanks!

Hi Together,I am looking for some Commserve database tables (or views) that contain information about already completed Jobs.I would like to extract the information about Exchange database jobs to collect the information about backed up databases.Does anybody have an idea?Thank you and regards.Michael  

Hi,I am looking for a way to automaticly abort a running job or at least start a workflow (with which I then abort the job) when a specific error occurs in a certain storage policy. Is this possible in CommVault?The background is that every 10-12 days there is an issue with the VMWare backup copy (“VDDK thread timeout, possible VDDK deadlock encountered”), and afterwards, all VMs are backed up very slowly using only NBD. After restarting the job, the NAS transport mode is used again (at least for 95% of the VMs).Best regardsFrank

Hi,I have created a new SP and Dedup DB and assigned it to an existing MA. Created a new Index as well.Selected a particular client machine that was connected to this MA and changed the SP on this client to the newly created SP however after clicking on Full Backup the system by default shows Incremental in the Job Window and fails with an error ‘Index Restore” - There is no active controller for this device. For some reason it is not running a full backup. Am I missing a step or two somewhere?Env - Commvaut 10 R2 Simpana

Some years back we ran into a problem with cpu usage spiking during backups and someone in commvault suggested an additional setting that limited cpu usage it leveraged the OS to prevent cpu usage going through the roof and was expressed in percentage. i forget the name of the additional setting. Can someone help?thanks.

Hi,I have 11.24 release installed and plan upgrade to 11.28 (in this release Windows Server 2012-2012 R2 depreciated). Could you say please:1) What will happen with agents which are installed on depreciated OS  after Commserve and media agents will be updated to 11.28, will it continue to work normally?2) What will happen with support if I have Commserve version 11.28 but clients run 11.24 (which also is still under support and supports older OS)? Does this combination will have full support?Thanks!Br,Andrejs

Hi everyone, I have some questions about continous replica (vaio).The first question is about RPO: what is the minimum RPO that can be achieved with the vaio replica? Can it also be of seconds? And the retention of how many hours or days is it?The second is about the issue described here: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/disaster_recovery/106456_known_issues_for_continuous_replication_in_command_center.html“If a virtual machine is replicated to a destination site and you perform a restore operation for the VM at the destination site, the replicated VM and the restored VM have the same UUID” What exatly mean? Do I have to answer “I copied” everytime I power on a replica vm? Thank you 

Hiwe have new three nodes Hyperscale appliance and want to confiugre IPs for data and storage network, do we have to configured from linux shell or there is GUI interfiace to configured IP very first time Thanks     

Hi I was wondering how we disable Authentication for Agent InstallationIt shows as greyed out in commcell, I am aware this feature offers extra protection I would just like to disable it whilst we install multiple servers. 

Hi All,Just to check what is the highest limit or threshold for an extra large commserve? The following is extracted from documentation.commvault.Supports up to 10,000 servers, or 20,000 virtual machines, or 50,000 laptops in a single CommCell environment.So in my customer environment , we are having 10000 office 365 mailboxes/users ( looking to grow to 30000 in next 2 years ),3000 Vms and 300 physical servers. Can our extra large commserve able to support the above assets ? I am worry about the scaling of the 0365 mailboxes. Each 0365 mailbox is treated as 1 server entity as well

please support , an incremental backup hanged and does not open streams however full and archive log backup is running normally 

Where to install VSA to backup VM on GCP? and is there a document on how to install VSA to GCP? Please Advice, Thanks,Helmy

Is there any workflows available in Commvault to auto restart the VSS Writers Services ? 

Hello team, We have VM backups configured for GCP machines in our environment. Now we have the below scenario as we need to update custom hostname for the machines through terraform which needs deletion and recreation of VM. The approach we followed is as below.1. Take FS backup of the machine2. Delete and recreate the machine with custom hostname3. Have the FS backup restored to the newly created machine so that we have the system back to the state it was before the deletion.While trying this approach we are encountering many issues like losing connectivity to the machine, data which says restored on the console but not visible at the OS level and so on. We had raised a support case as well and got an update that we cannot do a full "/" restore as this will overwrite the kernel OS file which will crash the system during the restore phase and OS level files/directory you should not overwrite on a running machine (/usr /etc /lib /root /boot etc

Hi guys, I would like to know how to see logs when I change a retention.I do not see anything in the Logs folder, not even in the event viewer on the console. Any ideas? Regards,
