Hello, What is the best way to backup NFS export presented by EMC VNX Storage ?

CVLT 11.26.3Our Commvault Health Report display one critical security issue. File Activity Anomaly alert. But this alert is not deleted. It’s enabled. How can I fix this? Is anything wrong with Alert Criteria? Does it should contain only the regular expression “7:211|7:212|7:293|7:269”? 

I have been playing around with a feature that allows you to deploy VMware-based FREL and/or access nodes directory from Command Center. This feature works out nicely, it requires some aftercare for hwich I opened a CMR but it also raised some questions.I'm running FR26 with the the latest maintenance release applied, but the version of the FREL/access node that is deployed is FR25. The cloud portal shows a FR26 version, so why is it downloading and deploying an outdated version? Why is it not automatically being updated to the same FR/MR that runs on the CommServe? In addition to Commvault updates what about OS updates? How often is the OVA which is based on Oracle Linux being updated by Commvault? Will Command Center notify me a of a new build, and will it download and auto-replace the existing nodes with the newer version automatically reusing the configuration settings that were entered during the initial setup?Update → official documentation link: https://documentation.commvault.c

I’m Looking to create an aux copy to an AWS S3 bucket from ON Prem hyperscalers.  What are best practices in terms of enabling WORM on the bucket?  Is there anything that needs to be done with the ddb on the hyperscalers in terms of operations/maintenance?  Thanks.

Hello,we have following Scenario:We Backup with Intellisnap on NetApp a SAP HANA with Multitenant Database Container.Generally everything is working but we have some timing issue or maybe wrong understanding how Backup should be done for MDC Hana.Pseudo Client: msp-sap-h01dInstance: H01Three Tenant DBs: mounted in HANA System as /hana/data/ASP H01 JSPandSystem DBLooks like that: System DB must be streamed by design → works everything fineThe three Tenant DBs are backuped via a Plan which runs every evening at 8pm and triggers 3 Jobs for each DB - and then one job works fine Snapshot created everything Ok but the two others failed“A storage snapshot cannot be prepared because another storage snapshot has been already prepared or a data backup is running” and after some time it resumed again and the it fails with “ SAP HANA Error []. “So all for one DB Backup is successful and two fails, because another Snapshot in Progress.Questions:Is there something we missed in Design how to Backup M

I’m interested in getting this workflow from the webstore, but both on the commserve’s browser (MS Edge) or on my workstation (firefox), when I click the install button while signed in with my commvault account - so this link here: https://commserve.mycompany.edu/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/136/671/14567 from my commserve, i see the messages in the lower right corner:Installing "Enable Subclient Index"followed seconds later bySomething went wrong installing Enable Subclient IndexWhat logs can I examine to figure out why this is happening? following the prereqs here, I definitely know I’m logged in as part of the master group, and obviously the commserve has the web console installed.I also did use this successfully once, a couple years ago, to install a workflow, so I know it has worked in the past.

Can we use Load balancer for commvault livesync setup with Floating DNS name to automatically failover to other node. 

Hello Community, We are using the Commvault Verison SP11.20.90 and now had to install the Commvault Agents for the backup of Exchange on two clients. After the installation was completed successfully, they were also listed in Commvault. However, when I look into the clients, I only see the File Agent. The Exchange Agent is not shown here. Is this a bug or is there something else I need to be aware of here ?Kind RegardsThomas

Hello Community We are doing a pilot by pushing around 50t of data over to MCSS. We have noticed that when the jobs are progressing, there are multiple streams of different sizes at the beginning of the job and as the job progresses the number of streams go down. Is there a way to ensure that the data that is being pushed to MCSS is distributed among multiple stream equally so that we get consistent performance out of the job till the end?  

Hi,I need to backup virtual machines in specific order (this is VMware streaming backup with application-aware Active Directory). Is any possibility to do that, except creating subclient and schedule for every single VM?For now I have multiple VMs in one subclient. I think I can set 1 data reader in that subclient and Commvault will backup in some sequence, but how to set this sequence? Because I don’t know if Commvault choose VM to backup randomly or in alphabetical order maybe?Commvault 11.24Regards

Hello everyone,We’re stuck in network issue based on NAT.Could you judge if this is a supported NAT environment?  For all clients in Classic Network, no issue in performing the backup job.For VPN Network,Communication works well between CS/MA and client using NAT IP.A client is installed by push install from CS.8400~8403 ports are opened mutually between CS/MA and a client in VPN Network. (cvping)We can browse the content on a client in VPN so can create a new subclient. CS/MA use the IP address 100.67.1.93  as a client IP instead of 10.67.1.93 for connection.A client in VPN uses IP address 169.254.84.181/180 as CS/MA IP instead of 10.x.x.x.This is an extraordinary network configuration. But backup job is not working well. It showed this error message once we performed backup job in person. I’m not sure if this config is supported or not.Could you give me any advice?Thanks.

Hello,Our client ask me how restores from Azure cloud storage works when data is located on cool tier and on archive tier on Azure.We have tested the archive tier first. We copied the data to the cloud archive storage, and performed an restore for a database. We selected only one (of many) database which should have size lower then 10GB, but the full job backup size is 8,5TB (Size of application) - Recall archive workflow is working for 3days and completed only 30% - is it recalling all 8,5TB of data from archive storage?And how it would work if we use a cool tier cloud storage - when data is phisically available (online). If we copy a job which have 8TB and we will perform an restore only for one database (~10GB) from this huge backup - will it download all 8TB of data or will only choose this chunks which actually contains the data of this small 10GB database?Thanks in advance for help :)Have a nice day !Regards,Mateusz

Hi Vaulters,Is it possible to upgrade content indexing from index V1 to V2. From my understanding upgrading the index is done at the client level and in this case the Exchange Compliance Archiver agent is the one that would need to be updated and all compliance jobs will become Index V2 going forward. However, the Agents that Support V2 page lists that you can’t migrate from V1 to V2 but can create a new client with V2 indexing. I just want to ask so that I can inform my client with certainty that this isn’t possible.

An edge condition was found when performing a file-level restore of a virtual machine using the Virtual Server Agent, the Access or Proxy Node may reboot due to the CVVD.sys driver that loads the backup data for browsing.The following versions are affected:FeatureRelease 22.42 to 22.49 FeatureRelease 23.29 to 23.34 FeatureRelease 24.15 to 24.20 FeatureRelease 25.0 to 25.2Some common symptoms are the CVD log will flood with NULL values and the following error will be reported for the browse on the media agent.Failed to receive browse response from MediaAgent. Please check Browse.log on MediaAgent.The Browse log on the media agent and\or access node (VSA Proxy) may indicate the following:CCvNetwork::CheckIfDataAvailable() - Thread is waiting for data on a socket. Waited for 600 sec(s). Requested wait time = no time out. Connection details : The CVVD challenge is addressed with the latest maintenance releases when applied to the Virtual Server Proxy or Access Node. These can be downloaded

I need to remove some 1000 users from the Gmail and Google Drive backups. do we have any automated or easy method to complete it.

Hi All, I have some question about Commvault on Alicloud.Currently, all my CommServe, media agent and clients are On Prem. As i plan to do restoration for my On Prem backup to Alicloud ECSI have done create Proxy VM at Alicloud ECS.Next, i wish to know what port should be open in order my On Prem data able to restore to Alicloud ECS. And which server need to open those port.    

Hi, on “old” installation on comsmerve the mediaagent package is installed.  So under storage resources mediaagents the funktion ransomware protection can enabeld. Is there any advantage when we do that ? or any disadvantage ?  

Hi,We’ve been having this Error (Error Code: [19:861] Could not connect to the DeDuplication Database process for Store Id [xxx], Process:clBackupChild, JobManager or clBackup) on multiple clients recently (agents seem random : Linux FS, Windows FS, Oracle RAC… v. 11.24.34). Our network team did not change any FW rules.The only temporary solution we found for backups to complete is disabling Client Side Dedup on all clients having the error, but we would prefer not having our MAs do the dedup.If anyone had a similar problem, any suggestion and ideas would be appreciated!Regards

Team,Iam troubleshooting a low throughput read issue while recovery . Need some clarification :When recovery job is initiated in Commvault for a VMs(VSA backup) or databases( streaming backups) does it perform sequential read or random read .For disk library , what type of disk policies is suitable for better read and write throughput :  Disk Caching Read Policy Write Policy Enabled Read Ahead Write Back  

Is there any options to get asbuilt guide for metallic?I am in middle of KT from ex backup admin and i am not sure if he has all things documented .so , is there any way to generate as built guide like we do in CommCell console?or any report which would show , what is configured, how its configured 

I noticed the "v11 Download Manager with Feature Release 24" indicates it comes with a few items:Microsoft SQL 2019 software for the CommServe® Database EngineDatabase Upgrade ToolI have two questions:My MSSL DB on the Commserve is MSSQL 2014 (as it is v11 SP16).  I know I need to upgrade this to MSSQL 2019, but am going to do it after updating to v11SP24 (possibly doing a hardware refresh as part of the DB update). just curious: Can I use the “Database Upgrade Tool” to perform the upgrade or is it more of “tool for support” ?  I believe I read on the forums that upgrading the MSSQL DB isn’t the best way, and its easier to just install a new SP24 CommServe to get MSSQL 2019. I can do this, just wondering about the tool. When I install the software in the “v11 Download Manager with Feature Release 24” (after upgrading my Commserve to SP24. I need this to build an SP24 package for a second console), is it going to cleanly “update” the previous old SP16 “Download Manager” install/files, o

I found this thread because our largest Linux File Server Agent is taking 60+ hours to make a synth full rollup each weekend of past week’s 15 (3 daily incrementals, M-F) incremental backups.I just checked, and our scheduled synth full does NOT have the ‘use multiple-streams’ option checked.However, you mention that we need to be running V2 indexing on all the clients (file servers and VM hosts alike?) in order to use multi-stream synth fulls?I can see that my VMware client is only using V1 right now, so I see I’ll need to find the workflow to upgrade that. This entire commvault system was set up originally in April 2018, so I am not surprised I have some v1 stuff here.But I’m not sure where/how to check the indexing version on my file server clients, which is really where my synth full performance is suffering. Looking under the properties for the client, the agent, and the subclient, is not showing me a “V1” or “V2” option. Thanks for any help you can provide.(and if you want to move
