Our customer is testing Axiom and wants to backup via Commvault...the vendor gave them a script to shut down the Axiom server so I’m sure how this is going to work?

I read the documentation on backing up VMware machines with IntelliSnap support and I've also read the considerations on this page here (streaming and intellisnap backups for vSAN datastore) and now I understand the importance of the second snapshot, this one via hardware, for the entire process, but what are the advantages of IntelliSnap backup using just the Virtual Server Agent Snap engine, not a 'hardware' snapshot of the datastore where my VM is hosted? Second question, how (or when) does the Commvault know that it needs to take two snapshots, the first one, a snapshot of the VM’s, and the second, a snapshot of the VMware Datastore? Third question, what do I need to consider when backing up multiple virtual machines from Datastores with tens, perhaps hundreds of virtual machines? Last question, what are the recomendations in cases where there are backups of multiple VM Groups (Subclients), each one with multiple virtual machines. Maybe some kind of re-engineering to put as many vi

Hi,Is there a procedure to migrate the commserve from windows to linux RhelI saw a someone ask this question before but it was quit a while backI couldn’t find any procedure in the documentation Best regards,

Hi Experts,I am new to IntelliSnap. What I got to understand after reading is that with IntelliSnap based VM backup,A snapshot of the VM at vCenter level will be taken as well as a snapshot of the whole VMDK disk at the storage level. Then VM snapshot at vCenter will be deleted. The VMDK luns need to be zoned and assigned to physical media agent. Question: How will this array-based snapshot be assigned to MA? Then the data from the snapshot goes to MA to the storage. Question: It requires separate policy, right? The backup process is LAN-free and over SAN only. Right?Then how does the restore work? Is it also LAN-free and over SAN?  Thanks ahead. Kindly help me.Quazi Ashfaq

Dear community,We are currently implementing HPE StoreOnce with two MediaAgents. At the moment, the same StoreOnce device shows up twice in Commvault (one entry per MediaAgent). Jobs are working, but for HA and load balancing, should best practice be to add StoreOnce as a single library/store and associate both MediaAgents, or keep separate StoreOnce entries per MediaAgent?Additionally, ideally we need to separate specific backup workloads (e.g., VM backups handled by MA1, database backups by MA2). What is the recommended configuration for both high availability and dedicated backup flows per MediaAgent?I found also this from from documentation, but I’m not sure if this is my case here. https://documentation.commvault.com/11.42/software/adding_additional_mediaagents_to_existing_hpe_storeonce_library.htmlWould appreciate input from anyone with similar experience. Best regards,Nikos

Hi all,is there any way or feature whith which we can nearly 100% automatically validate our backups of VMs, DBs (MSSQL and/or Oracle) and maybe File Shares?Also the jobs/validations should be documentated within an report or something else.More and more frequently our customers are asking for such a kind of process/feature.In the past we walk through PoCs to handle the request with features such as Virutal Lab or VM Validation.But this kind of "automation" is not what the customers are looking for. Furthermore this way is missing the function of "randomization" of the to be restored objects (VMs).Do you have any experience with that request?

Hello,What are other users of Commvault powershell module opinion of the module.I am disapointed. I was hoping for a well working modle, but it is a struggle. Commands  aren’t logical, not following powershell best practices. Help is minimal and examples of commands are missing.No where I can find that it is work in progress.My opinion is that Commvault need to either put an effort in developing the module to a working module or state that it is a “Work in progress -- beta” module.//Henrik  

Dear Support Team,I would like to inform you that I am still facing issues with the backup process. I have attempted to resolve it, but unfortunately, I have not been successful.Your immediate assistance is required, as the domain server is currently not backing up. Please look into this issue as soon as possible. Best regards,Perwez Ahmed

I’m in the process of testing a new deployment and looking to enable Post Quantum Cryptography, building it out in my lab to confirm how it all works and following the process in documentation here: Enabling Post-Quantum Cryptography Config is an “all in one” with the CS & webserver on the same server on 11.40.10 media. When I have the two additional settings enabled for the CommServe the Command Centre doesn’t start up. The CommandCentre.log has this entry repeating: 11396 9 08/06 15:38:53 ### 192.168.1.116 ERROR PlainHttpHelper:getResponse:494 - ******Error code 400 returned for API:[/getOemId] 11396 9 08/06 15:38:53 ### 192.168.1.116 WARN CVAppContext:getOemIdHelper:334 - oemId null or 0, this should be cached already, fetching it again. 11396 9 08/06 15:38:53 ### 192.168.1.116 INFO SettingsService:getOemId:587 - Request /getOemIdWhen I disable the settings for the CommServe Command Centre loads and the errors aren’t present in the logs (but clients won’t install with t

Hello,As the title says I’m trying to automate the installation of dozens of clients using API. For that I need to make sure I can select "Client Group", "CommServe/Gateway hostname" and "Storage Policy". Especially the “CommServe/Gateway” given we’re using proxies and that the client computer won’t directly connect to the Commserve:“Client Group” is also vital because of the way we have things set up. If the client doesn’t fall in the right client group it won’t communicate.I’ve been looking at this documentation but I don’t see mention of these fields there:https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP36/api/cv/FileServerOperations/post-install-client/Can you please help me understand if this is possible? Thank you very much for your help and have a nice day. Best regards,  

When is NVMe over FC support going to be released by Commvault?

I need clarification on how Commvault encrypts passwords during the Linux agent installation process. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a way to encrypt a password (similar to what happens during installation) so that we can integrate with CyberArk for password rotation.The goal is to rotate the password in CyberArk, then encrypt it in the same manner Commvault does, and finally update the salt(using to automate agent install) with the encrypted value.I noticed there is an encrypt binary being called and also references to an update_pkginfo file, but I couldn’t find any documentation on how to use them for this purpose. Ideally, I would like to avoid having to manually reinstall the Commvault Linux agent every 6 months or so just to get the updated encrypted password to align with CyberArk and AD.Could you please provide guidance or documentation if this can be achieved?

Has anyone seen this error?SQL database backups happen every 15 minutes, and this error occurs about every 20 jobs. Error summary Error code: [30:325]Description: Error encountered during backup.

Hi,I'm facing an issue after deploying the CommServe OVA on a Linux-based system (Rocky Linux) under VMware.After deployment, when I check the services, I get the following error:systemd-coredump[55307]: Process 54709 (dotnet) of user 0 dumped core. The CVWebserverBridge service is shown as N/A in the Commvault services list, and I’m unable to get it to start.I’ve tried replacing the embedded .NET runtime with various versions (e.g., 8.0.14, 8.0.16), but the error persists. This leads me to believe the issue may be with the OVA itself, or the image might be corrupted or misconfigured.I'm currently using Commvault version 11.40.Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or is there an updated OVA or workaround available?Thanks in advance.

Hello, I got email about  Vulnerability in the JDBC Driver for SQL Server (Microsoft) does its effect commvault sql agent?  https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2025-59250 

Hi all,I'm currently reviewing our Commcell’s Infrastructure Load Report and I have noticed the following:For the Linux MediaAgents, physical memory usage is around 15%, while virtual memory usage is approximately 70%. For the Windows MediaAgents and the Commserve (also Windows), both physical and virtual memory usage is similar.I'm wondering if this difference with the Linux MediaAgents indicates an underlying configuration issue or if it is simply the standard way Commvault operates in this environment.Also, at what point should I consider the memory usage to be a critical performance issue?Thanks!

Hi together, currently CV 11.40 does not support the Backup on VMs that are running on kubevirt/Kubernetes. https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/protecting_kubernetes_with_commvault.html Are there any plans to support kubevirt? Regards.Michael

Hi,is the new Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE) supported by Commvault with the Exchange Database Agent?Kind RegardsFlorian

Details of the Error  Error Message: "Failed to connect to virtual machine host  as user Failed to connect to virtual machine host as user  from access node . Please ensure that the access node is able to communicate with the host and that the user account and password are correct. Both the Physical server of Hyper -v and backup server are in the domain and the VM inside the hyper -v is in workgroup. 

It could be nice, when I choose a Restore point to view a summarize of the Exchange On Line mailbox content (size, item count, and so on). It helps to understand, for example, if a user deleted a lot of email from one restore point to another.It could also help a browsing feature (day by day should help) into Backup Stats for having a quick sight between days. Thank you

Hello, I am testing some restore of DevOps but when i am trying to restore something i am seeing only restore of Repository and not Board or pipeline. Hoe is its working? 

HiI am trying to setup a Commvault LiveSync with ver. 11.40.23 where the CommServ are running on Rocky Linux 9.5 (with the newest patches etc.). When I am looking at both Commvault SQL server databases they are in “ready” state. And I have been able to run file system backup without any issues using the Commvault media agent, that will be used with the server plan, that I have made for this LiveSync setup.I am able without any issues to create a DR backup, but when I am trying to enable the Commvault LiveSync then the first replication ends with this error:Error code: [30:325]Description: Error encountered during backup.

Hi,Quick question.Currently running version 11.32.xWhen using Java client we can select how many number of streams the restore should use, or to preserve or remove source path.When using web command center for the restore, those options are not available. the only thing we can chose is the destination server, path, ACLs and unconditional overwrite.Is there a way to have the option to preserver or remove source path when using web command center?
