Any pointers with deploying FREL?

Hello everyone,I’ve got four support tickets open and I just realized I’m no longer able to upload log files.  I just tried to upload just the CommVault log and the job ran for 8 minutes then failed with the following:> Error Code: [35:1193]> Description: Failed to upload log files to web server> [https://logs.commvault.com/webconsole].> Source: inf-srv57, Process: sendLogFiles> > Failed to upload log files to web server [https://logs.commvault.com/webconsole].> Source: inf-srv57, Process: sendLogFiles> > Failed to upload log files to web server [https://logs.commvault.com/webconsole].> Source: inf-srv57, Process: sendLogFilesHas anyone seen this before?  Do you have any suggestions on what to check?Ken

Hi,is it possible to generate a license summary report for companies?E. g. i associate clients to that company and then i can create a report?Using V. 11.28.44.RegardsDennis 

Hi,use Simpana 11.28.44 and i backup my VMs with the virtual server agent.In the client computer group from this agent there are much old objects.Is there a possibility to automatic delete this objects? I only found the way to select each object and delete them manually.Thanks and RegardsDennis 

Hi Team, We are about to embark on the V4 to V5 DDB conversion process, but I thought I would ask here and see how it went for those that have completed this. We have a few partitioned DDB’s with a reasonable amount of size, and I am trying to gauge how long our backup-outage might be, as we have to guesstimate on behalf of our customer. I can see that the pre-upgrade report does give estimates, so I’m wondering how ball-park they might be. One more thing … is there a way if identifying what version of DDB we have> Thanks

Good day community!Maybe one of you encountered the issue and know how to resolve.We have a customer with VMware VMs that are backed up and that we need to restore as Azure VMs.But here is the problem. The customer VMware VMs have D: drives with data. When they are converted to Azure VMz, it fails, since Azure adds a D: drive to the VMs with the Windows pagefile on it. It does not seem like we can change the drive letter for those pagefile drives, but we can’t also change the drive letter on the VMware VMs since apps are referring to that drive letter. 😣Anyone encountered this and have an answer?Many thanks in advance.

Hi, Our security department requesting the following:Create emergency user with admin role (local) blocking any other admin from changing password/edit roles for this specific local user.The idea is to cover a scenario where an admin user has been hacked, the hacker wont be able to change anything or even see the emergency user.We did it with the user`s associated entities but it`s creating another issue - after granular deselecting the Emergency user from the User Group of our admins, any new users that been created are not shown to admins. We have to login with the emergency user and edit associate permissions to add those new users. There is no way to say “All users except specific user” The question is if there is any workflow or built-in mechanism for emergency users so no other user will be able to reset its password, except the emergency user itself.I`d appreciate your assistance

We need to upgrade the SQL version on the webserver not sure on the steps to do so. 

Decided last minute that I wanted my last cluster of hyperscales on another comcell. Quickest way without formatting , re-deploy etc?

Hi,The CommVault agent keeps disappearing from Windows 10. I have reinstalled it, but it still does not appear. It's not a VPN since it hasn't been blocked and this just happened. Yesterday, everything was working fine. Could you please let me know what caused the issue?

I know for a FACT that we used to have the ability to promote a non default sub-client to default. Recently I have noticed that this appears to be missing.  The question I have is, is there a way to promote a non-default subclient to default that is perhaps not in the GUI? Thanks.Chris.

Hello everyone,I am looking for a script to add Vmware VMs to subclient.  I have been poking around Powershell SDK/Commands but i am not successful so far with the latest Powershell v32 SDK Eventually i need to feed VM Names from csv file and loop through but for now just testing with a single VM. Add-CVVirtualMachine -ClientName myVCenter -SubclientName z_Subclient_0400PM -EntityType VM -Entity my-vmname Getting following error: “Get-CVVirtualMachine : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Name'.At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\CommvaultPowerShell\0.2.11\custom\oldsdk\Add-CVVirtualMachine.ps1:166 char:61+ ...                         $vmProps = Get-CVVirtualMachine -Name $entity ...+                                                             ~~~~~    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-CVVirtualMachine], ParameterBindingException    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Get-CVVirtualMachine “ Thanks, 

Greetings,We are trying to redo our Aux copy backups we currently have going to S3 now. We want to harden our Aux/cloud backups by creating new S3 buckets and turning on WORM for them. I created a new test bucket and turning on the S3 Object Lock for the bucket. My question is around retention times. We currently have and will continue our retention of our yearly (gathering all the weekly full backups for 365 days) backups and then have data aging start deleting the full backups on-hand after 365 days. If I want to keep this same retention with WORM turned on, do I need to set the S3 object lock retention to the same amount (or less/more than 365 days)? I am reading through documents and other posts about setting retention 2 or 3 times the amount as the policy to prevent accidental deletion or preventing it from being deleted. This is where I am confused on. Right now we do have it deduped going to our Aux copy/cloud, but I guess I question if we should even dedupe our new backups to t

We have noticed AppMgrSvC.exe are not releasing memory once allocated even the load on Commserve is minimal. We would like to know if its designed to use most the RAM available like SQL? We had to restart commvault services even 15days to reduce the memory utilization on Appmgrsvc.

Hello everyone,Last week I looked at the WebConsole Cleanup Report and noticed the Disabled Subclients section listed 39 subclients.  I cleaned up many of them by promoting an existing subclient to be the default subclient then deleting the unused “default”.  That was three days ago but the Disabled Subclients report still shows the original 39 entries - including the ones I’ve cleaned up.Question:  Is there a way to force CommVault to refresh the data within the Disabled Subclients report?ThanksKen

 Trying to determine the timeout auth under the workflow properties. Under timeout for authorization it says default 10. Is that seconds\minutes\days?It was set for 1 as a test and we ran a delete, approval workflow for a backup job but it set in the job controller for over an hour before we just approved it. 

Hello community,I have a customer whose backing up in a disk lib, then auxcopies to an Azure Cloud lib.However, when customer looks at his Azure costs for the last 5 days, they spend over 100 dollars a day in Iterative read operations. I’m trying to figure out what is reading so much from the cloud library. The total written size for a day is 200GB. why 41 million read requests? The DDB Verification is disabled for this library.Is there anything else I should look into?Thanks in advance.

Hi Team,One of our backup client Commvault Communications Service Restarting automatically. I have tried to be reinstalled but still having same issue. Also, given exception of the below folders from Anti-virus.C:\ProgramData\Commvault SystemsC:\Program Files\Commvault  

Commserver OS getting upgraded to windows 2016 but current SQL server version is 2012 Enterprise SP4 for Commserver. Is windows server OS 2016 still supporting SQL server 2012 SP4 for commserver?. I know hardware refresh is one option but that would be last option i am looking out for currently . Please someone confirm the compatibility matrix for me. Commserver is a VM and we will have a snapshot in place just incase we run into an issue

Hi all-I’m in the process of (slowly) migrating over to server 2019 and the first step I’d like to do is add 2019 media agents to my existing environment.  Is there some way to make the existing 2012 MAs some sort of read-only mode so that jobs that still need info from them can complete correctly, while the 2019 MAs start taking over the majority of the work?  I’d then decomm the 2012 ones all completely.  No dedupe is done on the MAs so it’s just the index drives.  

teach me please.I want to use the Metallic free trial version, but I have not received a reply and cannot register.Is it possible to use the Metallic free trial version?

I have a customer that has numerous Azure Storage accounts that require protection. Up until now we’ve configured all in Command Centre as two separate clients as we use two different authentication mechanisms for each type.​​​​ This was OK with a small number of accounts, but I now need to look at protecting a lot more.Would it be possible to create the client via Command Centre as a blob account which uses VM IAM role for authentication and then dive back into the Java console and add a second “instance” to the pseudo-client by right clicking on the “Cloud Apps” agent and adding a new instance similar to below:New Azure Storage InstanceThen in the Connection Details tab change the Host URL to file.core.windows.net and set the authentication as Access Key and use an appropriate credential?Connection DetailsThis way I can control the number of clients configured in the environment as there could be a hundred or more accounts to add in. Expert documentation seems to suggest it can be do
