Is a Postgresql Paroni cluster backup supported under CV, howto configure, howto Backup?

My customer setup a Postgresql Patroni cluster. I found this description Patroni : Setting up a highly available PostgreSQL Cluster - CYBERTEC (cybertec-postgresql.com) If he backup one of the passiv nodes he got “Could not put the Cluster in backup mode” PostGresBackupParent.log AnalyzeResult() - eRRoR -- PQresultStatus indicates failure for SELECT pg_start_backup('name'). Error:ERROR: recovery is in progress I would say it is the nature of a “not master” node to be in recovery status. Backup of master node cause no issues. I found no document in BOL how to configure a patroni cluster or howto backup it. Is it supported?

Offline Copy Implementation in Commvault

Hello Community , Did anyone implemented or have an idea how to implement offline backup copy in Commvault ? Backup is being written to commodity servers with local storage attached . The goal is that once backup job or aux copy is completed , the target media agent should go offline and it should come online automatically during recovery request or next backup/aux copy schedule . By any workflow or cv feature can we control power ON or power DOWN of media agent ? What are the best practices or procedure to implement offline backup copy . Regards, Mohit

Running only one SQL DB backup

Hi Team, Hope all are doing good ! we have many SQL servers which has 500 DB’s each, is it some option in commvault to run on-demand backup for only one DB out of 500 DB’s. I knew we have SQL plug-in which can be used from the SQL studio but i am looking for some option from the commvault end, i found below link to run from commvault end but it is not working as expected, not sure what i am missing here. https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=18360.htm

Unknown Oracle database State

Hi all, I have COMM Vault Version 11.2 installed in OracleLinux7. From time to time, a few Oracle databases v. 11.2.0.4 are UNKOWN in COMM Vault dialog box. I have checked the permissions of the user connection -C##DBAAS_BACKUP, granted as SYSDBA-, as well as the user catalog and RMAN connection. Both are find, but for an strange reason, sometimes my connection is UNKOWN. However, if I change C##DBAAS_BACKUP to SYS, the connection comes back to OPEN. This is a weird behavior, since I have mentioned before, this specific user has all the permissions required. Any idea? Regards, Laura

Multipath issue with HPe MSL6480

We are struggling to commission an HPe MSL6480 which has 6 drives. Each drive has 2 FC ports which in turn are connected such that port 1 connects to Fabric A switch, and port 2 to Fabric B switch and the HSX hosts are connected respectively. I’ve build and installed the lin_tape control path failover driver. The OS sees a device for each path. Does multipath need to be configured if so, can someone provide the process as linux is not my strength? Has anyone else installed and configured an MSL6480 and used with Commvault?

Is there a way to control the phases in a workflow?

I find that workflows become incomprehensible due to the logging of “starts” and “loops” when in reality the changes in phase don’t capture useful information. Is there a way to manually add and update phases in the workflow? Thanks. Chris.

Incremental backups not copied to secondary storage

I have a storage policy that has 7 days, 1 cycle retention with two copies: Primary and DR. It appears that none of the incremental backups are replicated to DR. Does CommVault somehow treat incremental backups differently than full backups when it comes to replication to the DR storage? Second question: I just ran a full backup of a small production server, verified that it’s only on the primary storage, did right-click on the storage policy > All tasks > Run Aux Copy > select Copy: 2-DASH-to-DR > OK > and get “No data needs to be copied”. I don’t understand how I can have so many backups, both incremental and full, that show as only being on the primary storage. Does anyone have any idea why my Aux Copy doesn’t seem to be working? Thanks in advance for any help. Ken

Vmware independent disks

We recently had to make changes (stig) to our VMware environment and changed to independent disks. From my reading on V11.20 we now have to switch to using IntelliSnap if we want to snapshot the vm servers? Is IntelliSnap another License that we have to purchase or will the option to enable IntelliSnap show up after we have defined an Array? We were using the provided VMware client to take snap shots which was working fine until the change to independent disks was made. Now we get Independent disks are not supported error.

Is it possible to move a subclient to a different backup set from the same client?

I have about 100 subclients in a backup set that I would need to move and I rather not have recreate them with their distinct settings. As per the screenshot, I have 2 backup set under VMware and I would like to move some subclients from defaultbackupset to t320 servers. Is that possible?

SSL certificates question

Just had a question about SSL certificate Web service uses IIS and Command Center uses Tomcat; we have a yearly task to renew the SSL certificates on Tomcat however did not see any steps to update IIS certificate; what services are supported by IIS and which ones are by Tomcat web server; and how do I check the certificate assoication in IIS; I am aware of how to install new cert on Tomcat webserver. Also, the servers which host these 2 services (different from Commserve); as web-proxies to connect the Internet based clients on a custom port ; as I understand changing certificate on tomcat has no bearing on the communication from multuiple clients back to Commserve via web proxy

When doing restore error "The index cannot be accessed"

When trying to do a restore I get the error “The index cannot be accessed. Try again later. If the issue persists, contact support.” I checked the Data Recovery Job History and the errors state it’s trying to restore the index and the media (tape) isn’t available. The tapes it is looking for are bad and no longer exist. This happens for jobs going to tape or disk. I would be fine with deleting the index and starting over, but I can’t figure out how to do that either. Thanks for the help.

Questions about NetApp SnapDiff integration

Hi, I am in the process of configuring NetApp NAS backups using CIFS with SnapDiff, and I cannot find a clear documentation on how to configure that. What is unclear for me, is: SnapDiff is just used for the Scan phase, right? So once we are in the Backup phase, we are just doing a CIFS--based backup? In which steps should we configure this? Create the NAS client first? Or configure the Array first? And at which point (and where in Command Center) should we detect/configure the SVM's? What permissions within NetApp does the user account need which is used for the SnapDiff feature? After Configuring the Array and the CIFS subclient, will Commvault automatically use SnapDiff? Or should we enable that somewhere? How does Commvault map the share to the NetApp Array and volume that needs to be used for SnapDiff? For instance: - The NetApp Array is configurated in Commvault as: netapp01-mgmt.company.lan - Clients connect to \\netapp01-svm1-cifs.company.lan\share01 - We run the backup as: \\n

Commserve (passive) upgrading SQL version

Hello, After the testing with test failover from CommServe A to another Commserve B, I have started the production failover. The production failover is successful completed. But, the replication job don't work from CommServe B (new) to CommServe A (old). Because the SQL-version of CommServe A is lower than CommServe B. CommServe A have 12.00.5223 (SQL 2014) CommServe B have 13.00.5888 (SQL 2016) How can I fix this problem? I think that this article will help me, but it is not about the passive Commserve. https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=115437.htm Do you have any advice for me?
