Hello, I have tried the Powershell CLI to rename a client name as described in the documentation:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/101881_set_cvclient.htmlThere is no error, but nothing is changing:errorCode entity --------- ------ 0 @{clientId=925; clientName=OldClientname; instanceId=160; _type_=3}I have seen, that there is also an open issue at github for this:https://github.com/Commvault/CVPowershellSDK/issues/30When I try the WhatIf flag I get the same error as shown at githubINFO: Set-CVClient: set client properties request failed for group [clientname]"Is it working for someone or is someone working on that issue?Thank you
Hi guys,I have a tape (ultrium-v7 LTO7) that stuck in a drive of my tape library (HPE StoreEver MSL6480). The drive will be replacing, but there’s no way I could get the tape out. The tape has some data in it. So, my question is can I copy the data in that tape to another tape?Version: 11.28.44

Dear Team, I have question about aux copy moving. My daily aux copy size on all storage policies around 1 TB but we have 60mbps peer to peer link primary site to DR site. It's not enough to transfer that size of data daily. There for we have created backlog of data daily. This time we cannot increase link. Do we have any method to copy the data to the DR site using a disk on a weekly basis from the commvault side?(I am talking about a method of storing the data for a week in a disk in the primary site and taking it to the DR site once a week and copying it to the DR disk) Please help me to figure out these.
Hi Team,We are not able to discovered the SAP hana tenant databases.We have check the following things.1. Connectivity is there between Commvault backup server and server.2. Hostfile entries are there.3. DB user having all the required permissions.

Hello,I was changing the permissions of a user in Commvault threw an Active Directory group. I was wondering how long it will take to synchronize from AD to CV and if I can change the sync time or start a push from Commvault to immediately start the sync.Thanks
Commvault 11.30.25HyperV 2016 & 2019 Until recent, we received the windows system event 153 when Commvault backed up our virtual domain controllers.153 = The IO operation at logical block address 0x95e8e70 for Disk 5 (PDO name: \Device\0000054c) was retried.The device id would change per event. The disk counter would always be one or two higher than the actual disk count on the machine.The Commvault log confirms that disk 5 (in this case) is being used for mounting a VM snapshot. It seems that when Commvault dismounts the VSS snapshot, Windows isn’t quite up to date yet when monitoring some IO. I never understood exactly what the problem was or why it only showed up for those machines. However, from the beginning of this week, we’re seeing a lot more of these events, i haven’t counted them out yet, but there are enough that it might be one or more for every VM. So this needs to be solved, because clearly something is going on and it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain an env
Hi, We’re on the process of migration Commvault to a new hardware. Restoring the database to the new hardware is prompting for the license.

I am thinking of attempting the creation of a powerbi data connector, and I just wanted to know if anyone has done it already. The process doesn’t look hard but it doesn’t look easy. I have been doing powerbi transforms on CommVault reports and it’s a huge hassle. So I was thinking if I made a connector it would just make it easier.I am a powerbi novice so I may be going about this entirely the wrong way. Thanks.Chris.

In a Post process command file, I need to check two arguments before preforming an action. I need to check if the backup job failed (%6==2) and I need to also check the number of retries (%4==10).I have tried: IF %6==2(IF %4==10( do action ))And: IF %6==2 && %4==10( do action )But neither work.How do I test multiple arguments in a Post process?
