We have vendor support so after extension of Commvault License will vendor support is there or not ? What are the pre-requisite and post-requisite before applying Commvault license and after applying Commvault license ? Is there any downtime required for extending Commvault License ?

I’m in the process of configuring and enforcing SAML authentication for a customer, they have 5 CommCell's. I’ve only configured SAML on a single CommCell before, but is it feasible to use a Single App for multiple CommCell's and just add multiple values in the SAML configuration such as:An Entitty ID for each WebConsole URL Reply URL’s for each WebconsoleI also believe that we would need to have the same user groups with access to all CommServes. Any thoughts on if this is possible or has been done?

Hello Team,It is necessary to back up only the directory structure on the Linux operating system, regardless of the depth of their nesting.The copy is to exclude all files in the directory and subdirectories.What should be the correct exclude filter notation for this case?Several attempts were made as directed in the manufacturer's documentation.The exclude item uses the /**/*.* filter, which excludes only files with extensions, but does not exclude files without extensions.The /**/* type filter excludes all subdirectories and files inside the indicated content.I would like to get it using commvault software, not third party solutions.Is it possible to exclude a file without extentions? Regards,Piotr Grzegorek

Hi, We are migrating our commvault server to new hardware. We will be maintaining the current hostname and ip address of the existing server to the new server. The existing server has 3 network interfaces; 1 management lan, 1 remote management and 1 production. Current license is tied to the management lan IP address. The new server has only 2 interfaces; 1 production and 1 remote management. My question is do I need to request for a new license or I can use the existing like what is mentioned in the procedure?

I understand the DEVICE_LABEL file is used for pruning so it missing could be an issue.I have a customer who's deleted the file off a volume.Will this affect pruning and would there be any other potential issues that could arise?Is there a way to recreate the file if it is required, without recreating the volume?The volume is configured as a WORM device for compliance.Thanks so much.

Hello, To prevent access to the CommServe DB in single user mode we might want to enable the SQL option AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS_ASYNC .Now the big issue/question is will this break anything in Commvault, as we are running CommSeve LiveSync and in BOL I cannot find any reference to this setting. Anyone have any experience with this setting?  BR,Luís Constantino

I have a Unix server that has a failing post script, and I can’t even look at the script since it’s in the DB folder which is excluded from the FS backups. Is there any changes I can make to the script to make it show up when I review the logs for the job? I know this is a long shot but it would be cool if It can be done.

Hi,how is the K8s backup in Commvault licensed? In this topic - its written, that it is based on number of APPs via. the per VM licence. But what is an APP in Kubernetes meaning and how it is counted? Is it a daployment or service or POD or something else?Thanks in advance.Regards,Jan

We would like to configure Commvault backup on IBM power systems which runs on AIX with SAP, DB2 and other application types hosted. The requirement is to run backups over SAN. Please share some thoughts or documentation in achieving this. My Current Understanding :Zone the luns associated to the IBM power systems to Commvault MA\Proxy Once they are zones , during backup configuration  Choose the SAN transport mode for backup or will it automatically choose to run on SAN transport mode when Auto is set for backup. 

In-case there is a data verification job running for longer period of days ( more than a week) - will it has any impact on the daily data pruning job for the storage policies  that are associated with that particular DDB engine ?As per the data pruning logic to make a job eligible for pruning  --Data aging operation job needs to run for the jobs which are already completed its retention- only then it will be eligible/marked for aging. On the other hand data verification/DDB verification job validates all the associated jobs on the DDB. So if when a DDB verification job is  running, will it create any lock on the jobs( assume some of them already complete retention days ) so until this complete - data aging job will not be able to marked these for pruning ? Which one has the priority over another one ?

I have been trying to reduce the number of Alerts coming from Commvault so that the ones which are raised are actionable (something needs to be done about them).However, I do see some strange ones that I don’t expect to see, like:The system detected events that are unusual in occurrence or frequency in CSNAME.     Server    Event time    Event    Occurrence    Anomaly typeCSNAME2022-11-13 00:56:27    Backup job [1346233] completed.

Hello Community, I am planning to configure Commvault software encryption withCipher: AES;Length: 128;Direct media access: No access. Can you provide me with more information on how the integrity of encrypted data is verified during the data verification process?Specifically, are there any performance implications such as increased CPU/memory usage on the CommServe/Media Agent server or longer data verification completion times when compared to regular data verification processes? thanks
