There's no information in the Commvault documentation yet – there's still some time left, but we're receiving inquiries from Administrators.

Hi All, we are actually fighting with the deployment of the Nutanix Image with 11.36 . We downloaded the image from here: Nutanix Image with 11.36 During the deployment we tried to add custom script like frel: CS_IP_OR_FQDN=commserve_host CS_SHORT_NAME=commserve_client_name CS_USERNAME=user_name CS_PASSWORD=password FREL_CLIENTNAME=client_name ROOT_PASSWORD=Password Without success. If we rolloutthe image without script we cant login. In the docu i dont find anything for accessnode only stuff for frel. Do you have an idear for nutanix ahv access node deployment ?
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?

Currently, after upgrading from SP28 to SP32, a communication problem occurred in one environment for an OLVM backup.

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.
We’ve made some adjustments to the Commvault Documentation site to align the content more closely with the product itself. Nothing is going away, and there are no changes to the SaaS documentation other than a label update in the drop-down menu. We’ve heard a lot of feedback that the terms Essential and Expert are confusing, so we’ve simplified the naming to make it clearer where to find the content you need.Here are more details on the changes you’ll see: CommCell Console (Expert) DocumentationThe Expert docs will be renamed to “CommCell Console.” The Documentation team will no longer make regular updates to the Expert documentation. Critical updates may still be applied as needed, but customers should expect new content and enhancements to be focused elsewhere. The Feedback tool will remain disabled. Documentation Site UpdatesAs of August 2025:The Expert site has been removed from the documentation site’s drop-down menu, but it remains accessible from the documentation landing page (

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
