Report for total data written

Hi, Can we generate the report for a storage policy to see how much data written daily?For example, I have a storage policy that is scheduled for incremental from Monday to Thursday, and a full on Friday. Can I generate a report to see how much data is written on the full backups on Friday? Thank you.

Tags for VMware Live Sync (SP28) - problematic mechanism

Hello Commvault Community,  After upgrading the enviroment version from SP24 to SP28, there was a problem with the mechanism for VMware LiveSync. For the SP28 version, information about tags is collected, through which they are replicated/recovered with tags, which we must avoid because we don’t want such a situation. Is it possible to disable this ? Cause its automatically adding to next backup and I'm doubling the resources Thanks,Kamil

Alert via Access nodes?

Hi,We are trying to configure Alerts for failed backups. Tested a few scenarios out and it seems there is no way to get notified about failed backup via the access nodes.The access nodes(proxies) are carrying out backup jobs for multiple instances and hoped we would be able to set up only 1 alert definitions for those instances instead of creating individual alerts for all our instances. (plus we hope to be future proof with this, so if any new instances are being onboarded, then we don’t need to amend/create any alerts).Could you confirm that failed backup alerts cannot be configured via access nodes in such way?Is there any alternative that allows us to automatically add newly onboarded instances to alerts to check for failed backups?

Commvault Hyperscale X reference architecture for Tagged VLAN With Bonding and Management Network

Hi Team,based on below Hyperscale reference architecture deployment link, i have following questions.https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/deploying_hyperscale_x_reference_architecture_with_tagged_vlan_with_bonding_and_management_network.html questions:in below screenshots, we are adding a VLAN routable data protection network on Bond1 and document says this is also used for commserv registration. The IP address we mention for this vlan tagged interface of hyperscaleX node should be an available IP from the VLAN range/Subnet range correct?   as per below screenshot, since this will be a routable data protection network, should i be giving the Gateway IP address of this routable VLAN network as the “Default Gateway” ? as shown below, since i also has a dedicated management interface for hyperscaleX node, and if this can also be used for accessing commserv server via its own gateway IP adress, in that should i be giving gateway IP of management network as “Default Gateway” ? so

SQL scheduling Help

Hello friends,I need your kind help, I must make backups of some SQL Server databases and the strategy is to make them daily, weekly and monthly, but this does not allow me to create BackupSets for this purpose; and the databases that I register in a subclient removes them from the other subclients, is there any way I can continue with my daily, weekly and monthly strategy?It is to clarify that each daily, weekly and monthly backups are going to different tapes and also have a different retention. Thanks for any help you can give me. 😁

AWS - Commvault Restricting Instances by IP Range

Hi, We are new with AWS - Commvault installation.  The designed VPC architecture and our CV configuration is as such:CV = 11.28.36We have 1 COMSERVE serving 6 different VPCs.  Each VPC has it’s on Media Agent and S3 bucket.  However, in 1 VPC there are 2 accounts, each account has it’s on MA and S3 bucket.  We are finding that VM discoveries from each MA is discovering VMs associate with the other account.  These accounts are divided by subnet ranges.We tried to limit the discovery of the VM’s in the Client Group by choosing the following CIDR filter parameter:  “Client IPV4 CIDR is 192.168.32.0,19”.This only yielded the EC2’s that have CV integration, ie Media agent, cassandra, etc. Is there a way to limited the VM’s discovered by IP address ranges?ThanksChuck
