Our new SAN for CommVault Disk library is Dell PowerScale H7000 OneFS, the library in production is NetApp 2750. We use Windows 2019 MA and ISCSI LUNS on NetApp. Since PowerScale H7000 doesn't support iSCSI LUNS  and Sealing DDB or Creating new Disk Library > Global DDB > New Primary is not the preferred path.  Is it possible to create new path on current disk library the path on SMB share on DELL OneFS and disable the writes on all local ISCSI path’s with option checked  “Prevent data block references for new backup” we could do this to all local disk at once or gradually. Our retention is 90 days on this SP. So could I delete those paths after jobs age out and continue using path on SMB share.

Hi Guys, I am creating the RHEV pseudo-client with the Customer.We have noticed that during creating RHEV pseudo-client, Commvault uses port 80 (http) to comunicate with RHEV Manager. Port 80 (http) is blocked by the firewall. They use only https (port 443) in the environment due to some safety restrictions. Is any way to force Commvault (VSA) to use port 443 during creating RHEV pseudo-client? Rgds,Kamil

Hello Community,  the source db has mssql native replication configured and it being replicated from one site to anotherCan we backup this source db /destination replica via Commvault mssql agent while sql native replication running?

I have a productive commcell, where all mount path supports drilling of holes (Sparse). When I open a mount path property in Windows, I can see "Size on disk" is much more smaller than the "Size" of the folder. The whole partition smaller than the "Size" of the folder, but of course, larged than "Size on disk".I installed a test environment, where all mount path also supports drilling of holes (Sparse). Scheduled or manual backups are succeed and stored on mount paths. But when I open a mount path property in Windows on test MA, then I can see the "Size" and the "Size on disk" are the same. Or "Size on disk" is a bit larger. If I check a file with "fsutil sparse queryflag", then I get the response: "This file is NOT set as sparse"My question is, when backend file sizes start to decrease? When will be sparse set on backup files, what stored on a sparse supported mounth path?

Without the typos re-done below (sorry)WE have CV 11 in our on-premises infrastructure as standard and are looking to extend into our Azure environment, which has been using Azure Backup to date 🤐A business priority is protecting our MS-hosted Office 365 SAAS implementation and I would like to do this using an extension of our existing CV with the Marketplace B&R appliance usage.I just need to know that their will be no lack of functionality in terms of what we can protect in Azure if we do it this way, instead of putting Metallic in, which my understanding is more for businesses who do not already have CV in-house..Basically, we want to be able to protect all O365 components (email,sharepoint etc) in granular fashion, whether they be hosted by MS or ourselves, across our Azure subscriptions. Is this something we can do by going down the B&R appliance route to extend our current CV infrastructure?I know metallic offers different pricing mod

Weird issue here.  I’m attempting to disable an old, legacy storage policy.  However, if I try to make any change at all with this particular storage policy, I get this popup:"You need to select at least one log storage policy"  And I mean any change.  Name of the policy, retention, client association, disabling for backup, etc- they all generate this popup.  I had to move all of the clients to a different policy manually because the “reassociate all” function generated this popup too.  Deleting the policy isn’t an option because it has a copy with extended retention.  My goal is to rename the policy and disable it for backups.  Any ideas?  

Hi, We are thinking about implementing a Resource Pool for O365 in a MSP environment for ease of administration. There is not much details about this in the docs so I’m trying to reach out here to see if there is anyone with the correct knowledge. A few questions...Are there any recommendations about how to distribute Applications? Use one O365 Resource Pool or use separate Resource Pools for each App - Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams?Are there any sizing considerations on how much data or how many users can be managed by one single Resource Pool? How many Access Nodes and how many Index Nodes can we expand the Pool with as we grow?Is it possible to change current setup for our tenants from dedicated resources (i.e. their own AccessNodes and Index) to a Resource Pool? And if needed, is it possible to move a tenant from a Resource Pool to dedicated resources?  I would expect that a re-index will be needed in both cases?

We are an MSP, and we have a client who wants to be sure that we run a “Yearly Full” on a certain date in January.  And that would need to get copied out to tape that would be retained for much longer and go to a different off-site location, so we want separate tapes for this yearly.One of the junior admins tried to configure this in the Command Center and then came to me with questions.He has a Monthly Copy and a Yearly Copy configured to copy to the tape pool.But we couldn’t figure out whether simply marking this as a Yearly would make it run yearly.  We tried to create a schedule from the CommCell Console, with the yearly rules where we could state that the yearly backup runs on the X day of X month, etc.  But we couldn’t seem to find these types of rules on the Plan created copy, from Command Center nor CommCell Console.  It seems like the selective rules are different on the Command Center created policy and Advanced is greyed out next to yearly.We’r
