Commvault Cloud Topics

I have never upgraded the Commvault version before, so I have a few questions I'd like to inquire about. 1.Can I upgrade from SP16 to SP32 directly, or should I stop at an intermediate version first?2.Should I upgrade the HPK of SP16 to the latest version before upgrading the SP itself?3.My Commvault SQL version is 2012. Should I upgrade SQL first, or will the SQL upgrade automatically when I upgrade the Commvault SP to a version that requires a newer SQL version?  

I have a media agent (MA1)  that hosts DDB Cloud Disk 1 and DDB On Prem Disk 2. DDB Cloud is running out of space and I need to run DDB Compaction to reduce space until we get more disks.The outlined process says to1- Stop all jobs2 - Ensure that there is no SIDB2 process running on the MediaAgent.I can stop all jobs that are using the DDB Cloud Disk 1, no issues here, however the media agent will continue to run jobs for our On-Prem copies using DDB On Orem Disk 2 which will continue to have the SIDB2 running. Can I run the DDB Compaction for the Cloud DDB  even though the SIDB2 is running for the On Prem jobs?What would be the recommend action here?On a different note/request, is there a way Commvault Team could take a look at streamlining the compaction process via workflow or a different method that would not require a command line for each DDB store (file/DB/VM etc)? Thank you 

Hello,I am attempting to perform an in-place upgrade of my CommServe in a dark site environment, which includes upgrading the SQL.I am facing a critical loop, and standard procedures have failed. Problem 1: Pre-Upgrade Validation Failure When I run the Setup.exe from my downloaded installation package, the Pre-Upgrade Validation check fails with this error:Automatic upgrade of the existing SQL Server instance is allowed but SQL Standard media is not available in the source media.Context: I downloaded the full installation package from the Commvault Cloud Services portal onto an internet-facing machine. I ensured to include all Third-Party Software (Microsoft SQL Server Standard). I have manually verified that the SQL media is physically present in my source package (in the ...\ThirdParty\MSSQL\SQL_Standard_Edition directory). My CommServe is a "dark site" and has no internet connectivity.  Problem 2: Software Cache Corruption (The Root Cause) I suspect the validation is failing b

Has anyone use MECM (Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager) software to deploy or update Commvault software in the entire Commcell environment?  We are currently exploring this option but I dont have much information to begin exploring. Also I am not sure if this will even work or is supported by Commvault Any advice or suggestion is highly appreciated

Hi, We have setup a third isolated copy on CloudLib. On this copy we are also enabling Commvault Compliance Lock. We have Oracle backups running to our Primary Copies where we have RMAN managing the retention. As per the documented instructions we have the CV retention set to Infinite on out Oracle Plan and this works perfect as we can see the jobs aging off per the RMAN retention. The question/concern is what happens on the third copy if we set the retention to Infinite and enable Compliance Lock? We cannot risk locking the data with Infinit retention for obvious reasons.Anyone out there that have experience of this? What is best practice? Regards,Patrik 

Hi friends,Good day! I got this situation, there was data disk failure happened and new disk was not yet replaced, but a DDB verification job got started, it reported completed with error due to some block can’t be read, but the DDB verification succeeded the nex day, but the new disk not yet replaced too. why this happened? does this mean that hyperscale reconstruct the data blocks on the failed disk to the rest good disks? I thought it should like RAID when a data block on a missed drive can be calculated out by EC code  from the rest drives when access request come?Thanks,Leo

Hello Commvault Community, Is there any information yet on how reconfiguration will be required for EWS running within O365 protection?Support for EWS for O365 ends on October 1, 2026. There's no information in the Commvault documentation yet – there's still some time left, but we're receiving inquiries from Administrators. Retirement of Exchange Web Services in Exchange Onlinehttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/retirement-of-exchange-web-services-in-exchange-online/3924440 Thanks in advance!  Regards,Kamil

Hi,Please, could you help me with the following question:Currently our customer is using Commvault’s deduplication feature for every copy (primary, secondary).They want to start using hardware deduplication (from their backup storage appliance).Since secondary copies are written to a secondary site, we were wondering if it is possible to disable deduplication just for the primary copy (which would use HW dedup) and enable it only for the secondary one, in order to avoid high network usage between sites. Thanks in advance!

We have been requested to provide a list of backed up content for an Azure Data Lake Storage instance.  Being a new workload, the intent is to validate the defined content (which uses multiple wildcards) is protecting the required data. Unfortunately, given the number of items associated with the ADLS workload, we don't seem to be able to extract a complete list of backed up items:CommCell Console seemingly can't handle the number of objects (1.2 million) CommCell Console reports are limited to 10000 objects. Command Center doesn't seem to give me an option to export the list. ListFilesForJob.exe doesn't seem to work at all. Are there any other simple options in 11.40.x?

Hello Commvault Community,  I've had a similar problem in other environments before, but I didn't investigate further. Currently, after upgrading from SP28 to SP32, a communication problem occurred in one environment for an OLVM backup. The logs show entries like these: vsbkp.log20252 4f1c 10/30 13:13:59 1413471 CVClient() - File[Client.cpp], Line[105] netHostName[ABC.XYZ.com]: Warning, deprecated call to lookup client using net hostname.

Hi.I’m interested to know if Commvault (11.40) can work with Veritas Access Appliance as Object Storage via S3? I can’t find any documentation on it, but in theory if it’s standards based S3 it ought to be compatible...Thanks.

Hi all. I have a question regarding PostgreSQL.We have a PostgresSQL server with very little activity. We do a daily backup of the server with the option set to make a “Archive Delete” of the logs. Some times it happens that no new WAL files have been created, so the backup job goes to pending with the below error message: Error Code: [94:66]Description: PostgreSQL     Database: The Data backup has failed. Archive Log files are missing     preventing this job from completing on Instance     [~xxxxx_5434~] Client     [~xxxxxx~]. Please run a FULL backup.Source:xxxxxx, Process: PostGresLogBackupParent What can be done so I do not get a pending/failed job and so I do not need to run a full backup? Are there any secret additional setting there can be set to ignore this and make the job complete successful?  Thanks-Anders 

hello ​@Jennifer Kelley I have completed the course and as I mentioned earlier threat Scan does not support scheduled operations.I wanted to bring something to your attention. I attempted the assessment twice: In my first attempt i selected the option that says Threat Scan can be scheduled as David noted that was marked incorrect (see screenshot below).   In my second attempt i selected the option without scheduling as I mentioned earliere for ​@Nikos.Kyrm  which was marked correct — as supported by both the course material and documentation (screenshots attached). I also reviewed the official documentation updated Sep 27, 2025 which clearly states that Threat Scan cannot be scheduled.https://documentation.commvault.com/saas/running_threat_scan.html Could you please confirm this for me ​@Jennifer Kelley  ? I’d like to be certain especially since we have an upcoming project relying on this information.You know we are an MSP and service company any incorrect information could impact ou
