I can’t seem to figure out how to do this. Maybe it isn’t possible. Do I have to create a custom report in order to add it to the dashboard?

How to identify whether server is physical on which CommVault is installed. For example I need to install commvault agent on server and need to identify that server is physical or virtual from commvault license or anything.As how many physical servers are present in my infra  on which commvault agents are installed.Hoping for some direction from the community. 

Dear all,+where can I check the aged data in a library? I mean the data that will be pruned on the next round. Thank you

Under this documentation https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/4787_external_urls_for_commvault_features.htmlAll URLs in this table support HTTPS and can be accessed on port 443. But does not mention if any need bidirectional access.

Can we spin up Commvault components on bare metal instances in hyperscalers.Any documentation link or references would helpLeena

Hi Commvault, We have configured backups for SAP HANA and when we re trying the backups we are getting below error.Error Code: [18:146] Description: SAP HANA Error [hdbsql execution Failed. /usr/sap/EHK/HDB00/exe/hdbsql -t -U BACKUPSYS -d SYSTEMDB -C "backup data for ERK using backint ('1857225_COMPLETE_DATA_BACKUP') TOOLOPTION 'BACKUP -j 1857225 -a 2:3053 -t 1 -jt 1857225:4:1:0:0:30326 -data -at 135 -d bppwcvt02.ad.fujitsu.mazdaeur.com*bppwcvt02*8400 -vm Instance001 -cn bdvlecdb01'"* 447: backup could not be completed: [110122] A data backup cannot be created because another data backup is running or a storage snapshot has been prepared.

Hey everyone, we were wondering how clientside deduplication and compression is working on Azures “Storage Accounts”. It doesn’t seem like it’s using our Mediaagent but which resource is it using then? Is there somehow of an “invisible” virtual maschine which runs a “Storage Account” in Azure and does the deduplication etc.? Best regards

Hi,i want to delete my old B2D library. Mount paths was deleted succesfully.Get this error like in my screenshot.What can i do?RegardsDennis 

HiWe have three nodes Hyperscale appliance we are going to change power outlet so what are proper procedures to shutdown all nodes and restart again.  Thanks 

 I am planning to migrate a lot of data from NAS1 to NAS2 (CIFS) and I am curious about the way to utilize gMSA accounts instead of standard username/password pair. For all scheduled tasks I am running on Windows Servers, I am trying to move to MSA, and for any services that vendors do support, I move to MSA also. I did not find a way to utilize gMSA in Commvault because it requires a username/password to create an account. The support team recommended talking to our CV representative which does not make any sense. Did anybody think about using MSA for CIFS shares backups?Or, another idea is to create a group of CV Media Agents and then manage CIFS shares access per this group. Ideas? 

Hi,we wants to create a dedicated user for commvault for backup the agents.In every agents i must change the credentials (user, pw).Is it possible to multiple change the credentials?RegardsDennis

Hi,I’m wondering how Commvault detects cluster disks in a Windows Failover Cluster. We’re running into an issue where Commvault doesn’t seem to see the cluster disks when executing a filesystem backup. When we manually select the cluster disks in the subclient content of the default subclient, it works fine. But using / in the subclient content causes issues.Has anyone else had this issue before? 

Hi,  I could not find anywhere that adressed this, so asking here. I read that the only way to “migrate data” between storage classes would be as documented. However, can this be done? I have a Hyperscale as a Primary Copy I have an existing AWS S3 Standard bucket as a Dash Copy with Deduplication.  I want to create another Dash Copy to an AWS S3-IA Bucket with Deduplication.  I want to promote that copy to be the secondary copy and get rid of the existing bucket. Effectively, this seems like migrating the data just as good as going through the process described with the Cloud Tool.  Am I wrong? Can this be done?  

Hello Community I wonder if anyone in the Community can guide me here.  We are going to do away with our current DASH copies to our DR site and instead create a new copy on each Storage Policy to go to MRR instead.  However I was hoping someone could answer a couple of questions on this Is the first copy that goes to MRR a full copy even though its going to be DASH copies   going up to this storage area? Our network team have asked me what the initial backup size will be so they can calculate the time the first job will take if it has to a full.  I have looked at reporting, but what report do I run to see what the full backup (if it is this) size will be on one Storage Policy?  Its only the DASH copies which will be going up to MRR.Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated. Kind regardsTonyQ

Hello everyone,My network admin has asked me to throttle aux copies between on-prem CommVault and Metallic cloud storage during core business hours (7:00 AM to 5:00 PM).  I’ve looked at https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/7486_enabling_and_configuring_network_bandwidth_throttling_for_clients_or_client_groups.html which talks about throttling between clients but the problem is that Metallic cloud storage doesn’t appear as a separate client within CommVault.  Instead, it is simply attached as a second library to the nodes of my Hyperscale media agent - the same as local disk storage.The instructions in the link above talk about throttling between clients but here I’m trying to throttle between two components of the same client - the disk and cloud attached to each of INF-SRVP110, 111, and 112.  What’s the trick to throttling aux copies between two libraries connected to the same client?Ken

I have recently expanded our NetApp E-Series array with 48 more 12TB drives (it previously had 24 drives of 4TB each).  In the past we were told to carve out a large DDP (Dynamic Disk Pool) for all of the storage we had present, then carve out 4 or 6 TB LUNs, create NTFS volumes on our Windows Server MAs with a 64K Allocation Unit Size, and set those as our Mount Paths.  I read the following thread which makes me feel like that is certainly overkill and unnecessary:   I would like to and/or have questions about the following steps: Create a DDP using all of the space available (392 TB after RAID-DP and spares are taken into account).  I’ve created similar sized pools on other NetApps for different workflows without issue in the past so I see no problems here.   Created a single Volume using up all of that space save for 6 TB which will be carved out separately for the DDB backup of our sister MA in a separate DC.  This will be 386 TB.   Focusing just on the mega volume, I will mount th

Dear friends, your valuable help.🙏🏼I have launched a SQL Server restore process but it has gone through only one stream, and I would like to know how I can make it go through more streams.Thank you.

Hello,I am performing a file restore of a Linux guest operating system from a VMware virtual machine backup. It seems to me that the file recovery rate is quite slow. 363 GB recovered in 3 hours and 27 minutes. Is this normal?

Hi Team,in my environment, i have backup SAN & NAS for remote site using IntelliSnap.This is totally different country where using different network ISP.The Snap backup will come to secondary storage first(AUX Copy) before backup to Commvault Storage(Backup Copy).Another site, we run normal SAN backup(without IntelliSnap), where the plant just away about 5km(Direct backup to Commvault Storage).For SAN we using IntelliSnap. My Question:1. Can we skip the secondary storage for Aux copy and direct backup to Commvault Storage? (with / without IntelliSnap) for remote site? What are the disadvantages? Do we call the VM backup without IntelliSnap is VSA backup? As per my understanding, the normal VM backup will wait for each snap to finish backup and remove at last. it may take longer time for remote site and impact the Real Time backup. If create IntelliSnap snapshot and backup to Commvault storage directly, does it need host to mount from local snapshot storage?   

Hi Team, I am doing restore of particular mount point of linux server.  I have selected the guest files and folder option for restore. I clicked on the server and getting below error while browsing. Browse failed due to error while mounting virtual machine: FREL mount failed:  (CV.0x5).  Can you please suggest here.

Hi, We are in the process of decommissioning our Commvault Server e.g. firstly P2V it, then, power the VM off and leave it somewhere. Giving that, in the future, the only occasion we might need to power on the VM is to check its configuration setting, therefore, am I to say that we do not need to P2V its storage disk pools which are shown as MagLib in the below screenshot ? Thanks,Kelvin

Hi Everyone, we need to create a lot of VM Groups in Commvault with different Plans and Rules (eg “Tag eq XX AND Tag eq YY”). This could be done by REST-API we noticed. But we also need to give this new VM Group a Security permissions with different Group and Role. We did not find a scripting way to get this done adding the security permissions for a vm group. Has someone a hint or idea where to look or has someone a “one or two liner” for this problem? Many thanks. Steffen

Hello Community,  I am new to Commvault.  I am trying to check the status of a DDB Reconstruction failed job. I checked the Storage policy but I don’t see the job that created the internal ticket. Type: Job Management - DeDup DB ReconstructionDetected Criteria: Job StartedDetected  Thanks.  

Hi Team,we planned to upgrade the commserve from sp24 to sp28 and the sql installed on the commserve is sql 2014. will sql2014 work after we upgrade our commserve to sp28 ?
