HI all, Metallic. When toggling “Disable backup location for future backups” in the mount path properties of an on-prem library, the settings seems to have no effect. If I return to or refresh the page the option is “un-toggled”.Anyone know how to prevent new backups from going to a particular mount path?Thanks,

Hi!I’m working with customer who is interested in ZFS support on Linux platform (Debian specifically). Now I’ve been browsing through docs and as I suspected ZFS is not a supported FS for Guest OS file restore with FREL.https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/32330_live_file_recovery_for_vmware.htmlSo naturally FS iDA is the way to go. I was surprised when I checked the requirements page and wasn’t able to find ZFS as supported FS on Linux platformhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/3146_linux_file_system_agent_system_requirements_02.html It is however supported on platforms like FreeBSD and

Hello Team, Firstly, all of your documents are still pointing to PostgreSQL version 9.6, not sure whether you have noticed this. If not, kindly update it as it becomes too difficult for us. Secondly, need some clarification on tablespace handling on PostgreSQL v11 and v13. Will the FS level backup work when tblspc is created inside $PGDATA If not, when can we expect this fix?Regards,Kamal

Someone on my team wanted to try to add a new Tape Library to the environment using Command Center.  I had never done this in Command Center before, so I watched the user go through the steps.  We found that it had created the library and the storage pools.  But we could not find any way to create barcode patterns or to create another scratch pool from the Command Center.We are an MSP and this is an essential step in being able to use the library.We then tried to create the barcode patterns and other scratch pools from the CommCell Console.  We created the entities but then found we could not associate it to the pool/plan.It appears that the option to change the scratch pool is greyed out in this case.Is it expected that you cannot edit the scratch pool when the library/storage policy/plan is created from the Command Center?  Or are we missing something here?Furthermore I was expecting a much more user-friendly approach to adding tape to the

So this is deployment 3 of 3 this week. And the first two have gone flawless. Pointed out some notes and documentation errors to the Commvault staff as well. However, this 3rd one is giving me grief. I am receiving a Failed to validate cluster please check the cvmanager.log for details.Ok, So - Note that all three nodes are green with Checks for status. So those are fineThe logs - this is where it gets weird. I have checked all three nodes /opt/commvault/logs/cvmanager.log - is blank. Theres nothing is there. I even tried to tailf the log file during the install and it just sits . So there is nothign being written to the logs.Now what? Well i burned like 4 hours trying to solve this so i just blew them away- reimaged all 3 nodes and started over. Here I am- Same things with fresh installs. I checked NTP and date/time is all gtg as well. What else should I be checking? Network is all working- I can hit all IP’s and ssh , iscsi etc is GTG.
