Hello.I wonder if I’m the only one experiencing this.But why do bother with uploading logfiles prior to a case is created as it seems that Support isn’t even reading them, although it’s described in incident whats needed. ? It seems that when Support comes back, it feels that they didn’t even bother to read the description at all. Most times a remote session is needed, although they have information to start of from. Okej, I’m ranting a bit but it is annoying.//Henke

Hello,In  the documentation Deduplication Building Block Guide (commvault.com), it is mentioned that:“The DDBs created for Windows Media Agent should be formatted at 32 KB block size to reduce the impact of NTFS fragmentation over a time period.”Is the format at 32 KB referring to the block size of the disk itself (NTFS block size) or referring to the “Block Level Deduplication Factor” parameter of the Storage Policy as shown below ?Thanks  

We had an FM200 release in our data center.  DDBs became corrupt and restore failed.  Sealed and started new DDB to get backups running.  Now all jobs have aged out of the sealed DDB, but I still have 387TB of data on disk and I need the space back ASAP.  SIDBPHysicalDeletes not showing continuous activity.  Data aging ran multiple times.

When looking at the Fallen Behind Secondary Copies report, it shows 2 different numbers for “Total App Size to be Copied” and “Total Media Size to be Copied”. what is the difference between these 2? Also, what’s actually remaining to be copied? Is it the total of these 2 numbers?  

I’ve spent most of today trying to work out why aux copies to a new media agent keep failing connecting to the SIDB on the destination MA.It looks like it is Windows Firewall related as the moment I turn that off things work.On the new MA which is Windows 2022 it looks like Commvault has only put in 2 firewall rules very similar to the ones in this post.On the existing Windows MA’s I have lots of automatically added exceptions for tons of individual Commvault processes.My MAs and Commcell are all in the same VLAN so other than Windows Firewall on each host there is no firewalling between them.I’m struggling to find the documentation on what should be in Windows Firewall and I keep coming across “Network Topologies” but the documentation that isn’t exactly clear either about what they actually do in this situation and whether I s

clarify DD backup in server. We need to finalized data quota limit.

Hi allI’m busy doing some MongoDB testing in our lab. I have a 3 node Mongo cluster. The backups work as required and I ran a restore succesfully.I have 2 issues during a restore process. The first is that the Mongo services won’t restart post restore. I’ll spend more time investigating that, as it’s easy to manually bring the instance up.When I try to run a point in time restore, I get the below error where the oplog won’t replay. From the looks of things, it looks like a permission issue. The account we’re using has the permissions below:   Error Code: [7:255]Description: Failed to replay the oplog dump [/opt/commvault/iDataAgent/jobResults/CV_JobResults/2/0/3940/local/oplog_rs0_1677651150.bson] on

Hi,An external application wants to use the Commvault API.There is a firewall between the machine where the external application resides and the Commserve host.I would like to know which ports, protocol, direction to open between the Commserve & VM containing the external applications.I cannot find the information in the Commvault documentation.Many thanks 

hello all, was wondering if there is a way to tell if 1 VM is in 2 different VM groups which will lead to the VM being backed up twice? may be a report or alerts? 

I created a custom Package to install the commvault agent on a window machine. I’m planning on using ActiveBatch to run the job. When I run the custom package from the window machine manually and it install. However, when I attempt to us the ActiveBatch job it’s not installing. Below is the script used for the AB Job. $servers = "${server}"foreach($s in $servers.split(','))    {        $servername = $s + ".aptproduction.com"        New-Item "\\$servername\c$\temp\commvault\" -Type Directory         Copy-Item \\backup02s\mdt\Applications\Commvault\CommvaultAgentStl.exe \\$servername\c$\temp\commvault\        icm $servername {Start-Process -filepath c:\temp\commvault\commvaultagentstl.exe -argumentlist "/silent /install /silent" -Wait}        Remove-Item \\$servername\c$\temp\commvault\ -Recurse -Force            }  Below is the command we use to start the activeBatch job. neither of those work.

During the installation of Commvault CommServe is it possible to:A: Use an instance of SQL NOT installed on the same server as CommServe?B: Assuming YES to above, use a clustered Always On Deployment of SQL?C: Is CommServe supported on a shared SQL instance and not an instance dedicated to CommServe?D: Do any of the above have implications on the backup of the system database?Many thanks for responses!  

Hi,Need to know from your experience if Commvault license has been expired are client backup will not run or will failed when run? Our license is about to expire soon. We cannot ensure if our renewal will close out before the expiration. thank you.

Hi,Please help me with the following questions:Let’s say I deploy Hyperscale using the reference architecture on Hitachi hardware. I need to set long term retention backups to anything but tape.Can I connect an external storage as secondary disk/cloud library to the environment? Also, what type would it be (FC luns, iSCSI luns, NAS shares/exports (NFS, CIFS), S3 buckets)? If any external storage is permitted as disk/cloud library, would it be connected to all nodes on the Hyperscale cluster, it being the one who controls writes between nodes avoiding conflicts? It being an appliance, does it have any operating system hardening besides the security features included in the software (which run with or without the appliance)? For example, intrusion prevention and detection (like avoiding root logins, avoiding running OS commands or tampering with autostart config, etc.) When upgrading the software, does it work just the same as a non
