I have couple of questions related to VM UUID we have huge amounts of VM backups, we were cross-checking whether UUID is getting matched on both commvault and vmware end. some of the UUID Are same but some are different, Same UUID VM are not restored VM’s so not sure why this diffrence is happening Is it possible to pull the report using API or something which shows the VM details with UUID from commvault end ? 

HiWe have created a plan for a VADP VMware backup.We want to run the Vcenter backup during the day, and do not want to created a new plan just for the Vcenter backup. We created a subclient voor the Vcenter servers and added a different schedule using the Java console. I have added the new schedule to the Subclient holding the Vcenter servers.This works fine but I cannot remove the Predefined Server Plan Schedule that comes with plan.Any ideas?

Hi all, In Documentation: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/17098_configuring_consistency_checks_for_exchange_database_backups.html The following line is written: “If any errors are detected, they are fixed before the database is backed up.”. This has striggered the Exchange administrator at one of our customers. He would like to know what/how this “fix” takes place. What can i tell him? Is it a specific Exchange instruction that gets called or something? Thanks!

Hi all, An Exchange Administrator has read in Microsoft Windows Server backup documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/high-availability/disaster-recovery/restore-with-windows-server-backup?view=exchserver-2019) that restoring a single database in-place to a volume which hosts multiple databases is not possible. Instead, all databases on the volume will be restored. Now I have told him that with Commvault, it actually is possible to recover a single database in-place to a volume which hosts multiple databases and only the selected database is recovered. Was I correct in saying that? I’m pretty convinced I am. :-) If possible, I would like to be able to tell the customer what we do differently to make this possible. Do we use a different method/API? And which, then? Any information available on this? Thanks in advance!

Hello Community,A customer wants to back up data from CAS (content-addressed storage) like centerra or ECS.I understanding CAS buckets are accessed by PEA file so commvault need to use same authentication. In this BOL, seems centerra CAS is supported as backend disk target but no documentation for CAS or centerra as source.https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/9505_centera_clusters.html I want to get the confirmation if this is supported or not. Has anyone done this with commvault?

Hello Commvault Community, When we try to restore out of place data from Microsoft DFS servers, we get a message that some files cannot be restored. "Reparse points failed to be restored as this is an out-of-place restore. Please check the restore result for more details " We want to find out from which logs we can find which files weren’t restored when restoring DFS data to a server not covered by DFS replication. If we need to increase the logging level, for which logs? Thanks&Regards,Kamil

HI,is it possible to alert clients/agents which are put in maintenance mode for longer than 24h for example?

HI all,I am oracle DBA and new to CommVault. Currently, using oracle RMAN with ( RMAN catalog DB) to backup all oracle database to tape.Management want to ditch RMAN and use CommVault as a standard Oracle backup tool.I have read CommVault documentation, to backup oracle db, an Oracle Agent has to be installed on the Oracle DB server.My question, without using RMAN/RMAN catalog, how does Commvault keep track of multiple database incarnations of an Oracle Database in the case DB needs to be restored to a past point before the resetlog e.g.DB been flash backed to a pt in time in the past and thus need to open resetlog ( new incarnation).  an incomplete restore performed on the DB and thus need to open resetlog ( new incarnation) 

HiWe use disk caching feature for our SQL and SAP Hana log backups. As destination we have a Hyperscale X cluster. Now I’m not sure what happens when I want to perform maintenance for a node or if one goes offline. Does anyone have experience with this?Thank you

Hi All,we have made a configuration for eDiscovery in our Endpoint backup environment. And we are able to run content indexing job and see the results. But the results are for live endpoint data, not the endpoint backup data. Does anybody have knowledge; what should be done so that endpoint backup data is indexed rather than endpoint live data? regards. 

Hi,Looking at the Index Backup Report, I see there are several index backups that has a value of “None” listed under the “Protected Backup Jobs” column.Is there something that’s not configured correctly? I would not like to retain these jobs on secondary copy if it’s not needed.Thanks for the insight!

I encounter a problem when backing up a few VMs in my Vmware Vsphere 7 environnment : Cannot read disk [[Datastore2-Compellent] xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx-000002.vmdk] for virtual machine [SRV-xxxxxxxxx] on the host [esxi03.xxxxx.xx].[One or more errors occurred while processing the request. (ERROR_ERRORS_ENCOUNTERED.774), ReadCurrVmdkFile (W32.774) Failed] I red on some forums that a Storage Vmotion could resolve the issue on vmdk files, but my management do not want go through this path because this VM is in our production environment. Is there any other solutions ?Regards,

So I configured verification for all of my storage policies, and I see that in the job views (after adding the Data Verification Status column) the status of either Picked for verification or Successful.  I’d like to get a report that will send me any unsuccessful verifications.  I havent used the report builder much, so just looking for either a canned report that CV has or some instruction on the best way to build this report.  Thanks.

We have a Database Index Fragmentation message in our Health Check. If I want to run a DB maintenance run -full, it is recommended to deactivate the scheduler. Are there any experience reports, how long such a maintenance run could run ? 

Hi!We recently had an issue that led to the Exchange admins reinstalling the Exchange hosts. Once they were installed, i installed the commvault agent again, but i’m running into an issue that i’ve been unable to solve so far.It’s a small exchange environment with only 2 virtual exchange servers.What i do know is that during the re-installation of the exchange servers, according to the exchange admin, one of the two were originally installed with one name, before they were renamed, and then exchange was installed..  However in Commvault i’m running into an issue where if i do a “Check Readiness”, both the servers says they are ready, while the DAG-client complains. Further research into logfiles led me to the cvfwd.log files, where i see references to both the current name, and the name one of the servers temporarily had, before exchange was installed/configured, and this seems to cause the tunnels between the “components” to terminate, causing communication issues. Example: 18028 9e64

Hey Guys! CVODS is not listed on “Descriptions of Services” - https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=8569.htm Doesn’t find anything helpful on google. Can someone please explain me that process? Thanks in advance BRJan

Hi,Is it supported by Commvault to backup JBase database running on RedHat 8 OS ?

I am manually running an aux copy to an S3 bucket but don’t know how to verify that everything has been copied.  How do I verify that the source library and the cloud copy have the same contents?

Hi,we backup our vSphere VMs with virtual File Agent.Our Version is 11.28.44.In order to restore individual files or folders, the backup must be in the B2D area or is it also possible from tape?RegardsDennis

I have an Auxcopy job running, it allocates 55 streams and as time progresses those streams gradually drop as streams complete. I now have my Auxcopy that has been sitting on 7 jobs for a couple of hours. When I kill the job and restart it I go back up to 61 streams. Am I improving things by doing this, will my job finish faster? Why does the streams not increase by itself during the job or why does it take so long to do so? Can I improve this?
