Recently migrated VM;s shutdown during/after snapshot

Just in the past 3-4 days - we have been getting notices of servers powering off after they receive a vm snap from commvault. Its a pretty broad issue and nothing is really a smoking gun now. The only common trait is ; the same vm’s that were part of a recent migration are ones that are doing this. I was thinking about forcing a storage vmotion to true up any delta or split vmdk’s that could be causing a timeout on the snap. From the commvault side the backup is completing. - but the vm is shutdown. I will look further into properties but wanted to drop this here.

VM's Backup Issue

Hello Commvaunt Community, I need your opinion and support regarding the backup problem for two virtual machines.The client claims that after updating the environment to version 11.25.6, he began to observe a performance problem for one VM and the other cannot be backed up.I went down to the logs and for the task, it contains several VMs (but the problem is with one, the task takes 3 days) I found entries that are looped but I do not know what they can mean. @MediaAgent6 - VixDiskLib.log 34680 6878 11/22 10:57:41 3185939 VDDK_PhoneHome: VddkVacWriteLastMember : Empty field to serialize for key fail_function at line 271.34680 6878 11/22 10:57:42 3185939 VDDK_PhoneHome: Curl perform failed in VddkVacCurlHttpsPost with error code 7 at 1780.34680 6878 11/22 10:57:45 3185939 VDDK_PhoneHome: VddkVacPushData : Failed to post data to VC/PH at line 1719.---@MediaAgent6 - vsbkp.log34680 67b0 11/23 21:03:28 3185939 CVmdkVcb4ExtentReader::ReadBlockFromReadAheadCache() - Delay while looking for b

Changing the Active Directory domain to a new one - migration

Hello Commvault Community, I need to change the Active Directory domains to a new one (new name, new user accounts, change of Hostnames for Clients) - I already have a plan on how to do it. I would like to make sure that the plan I have prepared for myself doesn’t have any missing elements. I have the biggest concerns when changing the domain for CommServe (whether everything will flow without any problems on the SQL database side). The environment runs on the SP24 version, all configured Clients have DNS Hostnames. For example, there is currently the domain "ABC" and it’s to be changed to the domain "AB". On the DNS side of the server, we plan to add a second record with the target domain - "AB" for each Client, then the Clients will run on two DNS Hostname, but the recognizable one on the Commvault side will be one - old domain. Plan:1. Create an account with "Master" permissions.2. DR Backup.3. Adding the "Domain Controller" in the "Security" tab and assigning the newly created user

Oracle table level restore

Hi experts, I got two questions from a customer about Oracle table restore.Could you help me on this? 1. Assuming customer performs Oracle Dash Full(synthetic/merge) based on NetApp intellisnap, can CVLT do table level restore from merged full backup image?(Is this a feature provided from complete full backup image?) 2. Customer runs disk library which is configured with object storage, can we do table level restore using object storage repository? Please kindly let me know if any further limitation for table recovery.Thanks.

Install Windows Updates workflow -Media Agents (?)

Can the “Install Windows Updates” workflow be used to “properly” install updates on CV Media Agents? I know it *can* -- because ‘Media Agents’ are a client group that I can select in the workflow. My question is more along the lines of “does the workflow handle Media Agents properly” -- as in stopping all the services and making sure SIDB/SIDB2 processes are stopped, putting the MA into Maintenance mode (so as to avoid alerts), etc, etc. We’re using WSUS to push updates and are basically gonna have to write batch/powershell scripts to stop services and make sure SIDB(2) is not running…. but if the workflow can do that for us, then that would be freaking awesome :)

nFilterApplicationFiles additional setting

Hello,I’ve found the setting called “nFilterApplicationFiles” Create this additional setting and set its value as 1 to exclude the database application files from the file system backup. This applies to DB2, Oracle, SAP for Oracle and SAP HANA.Additional Settings Description (commvault.com) As for the DB2 it’s being covered under this link: Excluding Application Files from a UNIX File System Backup (commvault.com) Excluded DB2 FilesThe following files are excluded when you set the additional setting on a DB2 client:The DB2 datafiles that the software displays in the CommCell Console DB2 browse pane. The files that reside in the DB2 archive log path (Db2Agent\sDB2_ARCHIVE_PATH) The files that reside in the DB2 audit error path (Db2Agent\sDB2_AUDIT_ERROR_PATH) The files that reside in the DB2 retrieve error path (Db2Agent\sDB2_RETRIEVE_PATH) But what does exactly that part means - “The DB2 datafiles that the software displays in the CommCell Console DB2 browse pane” ?

Commvault Component outside an Active Directory Domain

Hi,I wanted to check what people’s thoughts were about keeping the Commvault components outside of the Active Directory Domain to reduce the risks of being compromised in case of a security breach, e.g. compromised AD Domain Admin credentials. I’ve had some customers ask me about this and wanted to check with the community.Regards,Jeremy

Me, I knew right where to look. My index server and content analyizer were up and active, so- naturally i rebooted them. Just incase an update snuck in there.After reboot the issue still exists. Anyone else have this issue? I have opened a ticket with Maintenance advantage on the lowest priority. I would like to see if we “ The Community” can resolve this issue together.

Workflow or report to list scratch tapes on library/outside library

Hi all, I am looking for a way to automate tape changes, and I’m trying to find a report/workflow that can list all scratch/full tapes in a library, alongside with scratch media that are exported. I am already testing some workflows, but the main problem is that I cannot find the correct operation to list the tapes in a specific Media group or in a specific library. I searched on the documentation as well but couldn’t find it, does someone alredy know the correct operation that I need to perform? Hope you can understand my writing. Thank you all in advance.
