Hi,I am a very beginner with workflows and I am facing my first problem:I want to run a backup for all subclients for a specific client beside a subclient “test” via workflow.So in this example at the beginning of that workflow I manually choose a client.This client has serveral subclients (e.g. “data1”, “data2” and “test”).The discover of DataAgent, BackupSet and all Subclients works fine, but with which activity in the Workflow Designer can I exclude the pattern “test” in the list of subclients?I’ve tried the “RemoveFromList” but without any success (or maybe I used it the wrong way).Do you have a clue?BR
Hello,I’m used to use your API, but in this case, I can't get what I want 😪Use case : Before perform a single file restore operation, I need to see all versions of a guest file for a VM backuped without agent (agentless) .I use the DoBrowse API, but I have no usable results.{{ServerUrl}}/DoBrowse (POST) with body:}{ "opType": 0, "queries": [ { "type": 1, "queryId": "countQuery", "aggrParam": { "field": 0, "aggrType": 4 } }, { "type": 4, "queryId": "dataQuery", "dataParam": { "sortParam": { "ascending": true, "sortBy": [ 38, 0 ] }, "paging": { "firstNode": 0, "pageSize": 15, "skipNode": 0 } } } ], "mode": { "mode": 1 }, "paths": [ { "path": "\\50003816-5EF5-1648-8ED1-0FD0B08F024C\\var\\log\\cron" } ], "options": { "showDeletedFiles": true, "restoreIndex": true }, "entity": { "subclientI

Hello,Is there any documentation available to integrate Bocada into Commvault. This product is used for monitoring.https://www.bocada.com/supported-applications/commvault-montoring-reporting/It looks like the requirement is for a read-only user directly in SQL and not via API authentication.Is creating an account within SQL allowed? Or is there an alternative method to achieve this? Thanks.Ignes

Dear all,we have several VMs included in the same Appaware subclient. I created a new Appaware subclient, assigned a new schedule policy and moved one the above VMs to it. The storage policy remains the same for both the subclients and all the VMs have a recent Full available.The first backup job for the new subclient was set of type Incremental, may anybody help me understanding why it was converted to full? Thank youGaetano

Hi, Trying to find the best way to set up at Selective Copy in a Plan to be able to send One-Time, Client Specific, Full backups to Tape for external audits. In a Storage Policy this is easy as we can select what Client, or even SubClient, to copy data for. This option is not available in a Plan though, it’s only which Fulls to Copy for all associated Clients.I can create a separate Plan for this and redirect a Full Backup to this Plan but that would mean a new Full backup and these jobs can be up to 30TB which is not ideal to stream directly to Tape in this environment. We want to benefit from Synthetic Fulls from the Primary Disk Copy. Can I create this Selective Copy from the CommCell Console under the Storage Policy section for the Plan or is that not supported/recommended? Or will Client Selective be available in Plans in a short future?Regards,Patrik

Hi all-I have two commcells (primary and disaster recovery) and 4 media agents (2 primary, 2 DR), al running Windows 2012. I will be spinning up a new 2019 environment that I plan to run in parallel until I have everything running on 2019 with no issues. Question: is this the best solution? I’ve seen a couple of nicely detailed posts here about in-place upgrades but since I am also setting up new media agents in both locations, I figure I’d just spin up a new 2019 server for the Commserve in both locations. Does anyone have any pointers or guide on how to do this in the least painful way possible? I’ve been reading various kb articles as well, but I would love to hear from anyone who’s done this so I can get an idea of what’s ahead of me. Thanks everyone.

So,I’m having a project with Commvault and a HPE Apollo 4200 with 24x 12 TB NLSAS drives.What would be a best practice approach when creating the array(and logical volume) in the aerver Raid Controller?I read some people saying that the max volume should be 4 TB per mount point, does this make sense these days ?If yes, that means that I need to create 66 volumes of 4TB each within raid controller.Any beneficts on doing this versus a single volume with 264 TB?thanks
Hi,I am configuring new VSA Proxy on Windows 2022 and I wanted to make sure there are no additional recommendations for this kind of configuration. Is the settings as below sufficient? How should I set SAN Policy (Offline Shared/Online)?On the VSA Proxy server, ensure that the “automount disable” and “automount scrub” commands have been run to disable automatic drive letter assignment-> To disable automount1. Open a new command prompt2. Type diskpart3. At the prompt, type automount disable4. The computer will display the message "Automatic mounting of new volumes disabled"5. Type exit-> Confirm the following iwd registry key is set to 1 (disabled) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MountMgr\NoAutoMount Dorota
Hello,Like many, most of my experience comes from using the Commcell Console and I am trying to familiarize myself with the Command Center. However, I’m finding it difficult understanding some of the differences in terminology between the two. I’m looking to create plans to replace the legacy schedule and storage policies, as well as organize the data in the Command Center similar to how it is organized in the java console i.e. Client Computer Groups > Clients > Backup Sets > Subclients etc. At the moment I’m spending a lot of time just trying to find where everything is because the names of certain things have changed i.e. I no longer see subclients or Client computer groups. What is the equivalent of a Backup set or a Subclient in the Command Center? Is there any documentation that explains the differences or outlines “what’s changed” from the java console to the Command Center? Thanks,Enrique

Hello Community,I have just tried to restore some files of a Windows VM hosted on a Hyper-V Server.However when I did the restore it was not realy progressing and I found the following error: “Error [1] while setting compression attribute on [xxxx.x]”.Checking the Folders I tried to restore, I realized that it they have Windows Compression enabled. I found the following documentation: Microsoft Hyper-V (commvault.com)So for me it seems a restore/backup for these folders is not supported? Any thoughts or experience to this problem?Kind regards
