Introducing Kubernetes Label Selector searches across namespacesBlog

One of the benefits of application modernization, containers, and orchestrating your data-center with Kubernetes is the ability to move to 'fully programmable' infrastructure.Now, while this makes the developers day much much easier as they provision apps / storage whenever and wherever they need it - what impact does that have on backup & recovery?Well, for Metallic (and Commvault) it is simple...Commvault is cloud-native, and we use Kubernetes Label Selectors to automatically discover applications based on the 'labels' that developers apply to their apps.Let's take a look at a standard application definition:apiVersion: v1kind: ConfigMapmetadata: name: postgres-config-demo namespace: env-prod labels: app: postgresdata: POSTGRES_DB: demopostgresdb POSTGRES_USER: demopostgresadmin POSTGRES_PASSWORD: demopostgrespwd---apiVersion: v1kind: Servicemetadata: name: postgres namespace: env-prod labels: app: postgresspec: ports: - port: 5432 name: postgres clusterIP: N

Drobo Device backing up as file agent

We have a subclient that is a Drobo Share, we are backing up as a file system.This is effectively a Drobo share on a server we are backing up.So I see the  error Cannot scan [\] but I am able to browse the share, however there is a failed drive on the Drobo device. Raid 1My question is, will a failed drive on a Drobo device cause a Cannot scan [\] error ?

With Office365, can the Index Server and the Exchange Proxy be the same server?

Hello All, I’m just starting to play with Office 365 configurations in my lab. As I’m going through the documentation and watching some YouTube videos, I’ve come across a question I haven’t seen mentioned. Can I have the Index ​​Server and the Exchange Proxy server on the same Windows Server. I’m with an MSP and we haven’t started using Office365 for our tenants yet. It seems going through the documentation that we need a separate Exchange Proxy for each tenant but I’m unsure of the Indexing Server. Do I need an Index Server for each tenant and can that be on the Exchange Proxy server? Looking to cut back on the number of Windows VMs to manage basically. If they can’t be on the same server, can I use the same index server for multiple tenants then have separate Exchange proxies. Any other tips would be welcomed. Thanks.​​​​​

Job update time lacking behind

Something that is annoying me for some time now is that we often see running jobs with a job update time that is lacking behind for 15 min. and more. This has an effect on the information like average speed and also gives a "incorrect” indication to the end-user performing a backup/recovery. Especially during a restore this is seen so a user has no idea how long the recovery will take.I did some investigation already but without results. Anyone an idea if there is something to tweak?

The Netapp Array is configured in the Array Management. We understand that during the backup it trys to add the SVM to the Arrays. But we dont know which communication is really happening there. Maybe someone puzzles with it too. :)Christoph

How can I get O365 Licensed user list via PowerShell?

Does anyone have a PowerShell command that will retrieve the users that license summary report would report on?I’ve used Get-SPO -Limit All before to get a list of users but this seems to get more users than CV reports on. I want to extract what CV would report on before implementing backups (I have an account to be able to do this) to ensure the correct number of licenses are purchased.I have seen reference to getting the list in the logs (when watching/investigating issues) but haven’t seen the command used.

Splitting Workload of data backups to increase backup performance

We have two clients that we are backing up which are taking up a huge amount of time to back up. Commvault confirmed its not the backups but the data traffic that is causing extreme lengths in time to back up. My networking team cannot go any further to increase the throughput for data. Brought this issue to my management and suggested to have a normal backup happen to the client on a daily basis and with a weekly full but the difference is to only have the backups not backup anything 45 days or older. Then once a quarter do a full backup of everything (including all the 45 days and older)This runs into an issue because I don't know how to setup another default subclient on the clients in order to generate a quarterly backup. I know normally this is all resolved if we have Commvault deduplication, but my companies motto is work harder not smarter and decided its to costly to have this option. Is there a way to get this results of:daily/weekly/monthly backup with only data that is withi

Slow Isilon Read Speeds

Hi allWe have a customer that has an Isilon for disk storage.Backup speeds are ok, but DASH to DR or Copy to Tape speeds are terrible. “Last night’s” backups copy to DR at no more than 500GB/hr, if we’re lucky and copy to tape speeds do not exceed 200GB/hr.Index and DDB are on NVME and tested fine.Fallen Behind Copies are literally years behind.Both Commvault and Isilon have checked it out and cannot do anything about it.We did spec Hyperscale before implementation but we were overruled and now I sit with this issue. Very frustrating. Has anyone experienced dog-slow Isilon restores, DASH copies or Tape copies?How were you able to overcome this? It’s gotten so bad that we are going to ask Commvault to either try help us fix it or reconsider certifying it as a DL destination.

Viewing restored items is blank

Hello CC I have an issue in our CommCell where when I look at the restore job history for a database client and if i right click on the restore job and choose “View restore Items\All or Successful, Failed, Conflict or skipped.  it brings up the window “Restored Files” as if its going to show the Items then it says No results found” OK.  This is a recent thing and its a pain as it means if certain databases failed or skipped or all passed  then we cant go and see which ones were passes or fails.  the whole window is blank. Any help, guidance or if anyone else is getting this would be most helpful. ThanksTonyQ

Aux copy total data to copy

when I look at the aux copy job status it reflects total data to process as 14.49 TB however when I right click on the storage policy and select Media Not copied the total amount of data is less then 300GB...does that mean the deduplicated data to aux copy is only 300 GB?Also, as the Aux copy utilizes a DDB at the secondary location the data copied would be less than 300GB?
