Hi, Can i Installing CommVault command center in the same windows server with the network proxy.

Hi,we installed a new dedupe appliance as a new library. we are now configure a new SP with no compression and no encryption (commvault dedupe in on).we need to replicate the data using aux copy to the DR site with a straight disk library (JBOD).my question - if we backup with no compression ‘ will aux copy also transfers uncompressed data to the DR site? because in this case , we’ll be run out of capacity in the DR library.thanks.

Hello Fellow CV Community I have an issue with our USA CommCell.  We had to build a new 2019 VM CommCell Server due to the fact we were running on 2012R2 and we could not upgrade our Service Pack to 24 until we went past that OS.  Since upgrading and doing a DR restore, any new tapes we put in our library come back with the following when verifying the media:“Media in library [HP MSL 4048 Tape Library], slot [slot42] does not have a valid media label that is not written to by this product.”We thought this was just an issue with tapes that were in the library, when we did the upgrade and saw this an oversight.  However this is happening after we took all those tapes out, rebooted the library and added brand new tapes in to the library.Our infinite backups are at risk until we get this resolved.  Any help as always would be greatly appreciated. TonyQ  

HiAny ideas how to limit a specifi iDA to a specific amount of data to store/as backup? 

Hello;I just need to know more about the integration between Commvault and VXRAIL requirements [Ports, Connectivity] also need to know how the backup works and how the traffic goes using normal backup and IntelliSnap. thanks 

Hey All, did you any inforamtions regarding vSphere Replication and commvault vsa backups ?  Is this supported from commvault end ?  The vSphere Replication is going dow after commvault backuped the vm.  We do not use HotAdd at all for backup and we use NBD transport for these backups. We also tried not to use CBT file for CommVault subclients (some of them as a test), and we got some successful backups without replication failures, but at the very end even on these subclient I was told that replication broke.We also tested "Crash Consistent" backup type (pure snapshot), but without success.We do not know if the problem connected with storage performance.VMWare support told us that the root of the problem is connected with the locks (that came because of CV snapshot operations), and VMWare can do nothing with this locks and stops/breaks replication. At the same time we know 100% that CV uses only VMWare API f

We are planning on setting up DR for commvault, What are best practices in terms of Space, RTO and RPO.

Our security team are complaining that when they reboot their Siteminder servers, their process fails to start because ClMgrS process appears to be using port 44442.  Siteminder needs that port in order to start up.  What we end up having to do is to stop the commvault process in the client to let the Siteminder start; then restart commvault.Does anyone know why Commvault need that port?   It is not in the list of standard ports that Commvault uses.  https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/7102_port_requirements_for_commvault.html#additional-ports-based-on-use-cases Anyone know how to exclude that port by the CommVault agent?

Hi, While downloading the maintenance release 11.24.43, facing the error. With regards

Hi Team, How can I remove one of the nodes on my SQL Always On Instances. There are 3 nodes configured, one of them got out of order. So, I need to remove this because backup didn’ t go running state. I didn’ t find any documentation for this.  

Hello community, for the AIX client, after adding it to the Network-Topoogy (one-way) in /var/adm/messages, the event logging frequency increased significantly: syslog: /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a this information appears seven times per minute in the system log of /var/adm/messages. I'm sure it's the backup client's fault, because the problem started exactly when I modified the connection via Network-Topology. Also when I turn off the backup client the logging stops.I'm asking for help - because so frequent logging of insignificant events fadingly darkens the view of the log and the system log is also growing fast. best regardsDorota 

Plan to create Azure VM snapshot and AWS EC2 snapshot by Commvault and keep 3 snapshot copies for each VM.1, the snapshot is full snapshot? or we have chance to create incr. snapshot for cost saving.2, how to calculate snapshot cost?

I have some Aux copies that have this, for example:The Aux copy is configured to use 8 streams via “Combine source data streams = 8”.  Multiplexing is not enabled.  When it runs (in properties → Streams tab)  it has 8 “Destination Streams” running (“Number of readers in use = 8 ). BUT when I look at properties → “Media not Copied” tab, it shows 9 streams in the "Stream No./Sequence" column, where it is:what's “0/1” → Stream Number 0? but if so then there’s 9 streams to copy?  I wanted to make sure something was not misconfigured somewhere and Stream No 0 wasn’t some default to handle an oddity/overflow of data or something strange.  I was under the impression the streams were to be combined to 8 (all data broken up into 8 chunks to be streamed/read/copied) … yet the UI is telling me I have 8 streams “to copy” and another one named

HiI’ve been trying to run Duplicate Oracle database using Tape Storage Policy Copy but it fails during Archivelog restore with “Error while restoring backup piece”.Since this is a Selective Copy there are only Weekly Selective Fulls present on media. I’ve been looking for some answers in RMAN log, but what I see here doesn’t make sense.First of all the last SOF (selective online full) backup present on tape copy is job 47104. Looking at RMAN run block I can see SET UNTIL clause is set to correct time which is a couple of minutes before job 47104 ended. It does restore all required datafiles, but during archivelog restore it tries to restore from backup pieces from newer jobs which, since this is a Selective Copy, are not present on the media. Then it fails over to previous job until it tries to restore from the job that is actually on the media (47104) but it still fails permanently this time. The SCN on which restore fails is lower then the Next SCN number in t

we plan to migrate Netapp OnTap from on-premises to cloud, want to get some suggestion. 1, plan to backup data to Azure data box, then restore data from data box to Azure file service. How to move backup image from Azure data box to Azure blob for next restore job? 2, on-premises Netapp OnTap is about 10TB, will move them to Azure file service and run routine backup job. How to charge license for the migration and routine backup job? 3, After we restore data from Azure data box for Azure file service, how to sync. data between on-premise Netapp ontap and Azure file service? 4, how to backup Azure file service? mount CIFS on backup agent?

CommVault has the classic problem of a product with so much wide ranging utility that it is practically impossible to keep track of every aspect of the product.  That said I am sure we have all had the experience of finding a CommVault tool or website that is a game changer for your use case.

Hello All, Yesterday with one of my colleague we tried to configure some Reports from daily backup on email. The fastest way is login to webconsole. My colleague has some access to CommCell, but from site of webconsole, when he tried to login, the popup window inform us that the user or password is not corrected. I wonder what type of security access should be granted to the user to: Have access to webconsole.  Have possibility to create proper report.Regards, Michal

Hello to all,In case of local Disk Library with Commvault DDB enabled, If create a replication/secondary job to a HPE StoreOnce as target, these jobs are going to transfer only the changed data blocks ? Like Dash copy? Or the entire physically copying data for every job?The goal is to reduce the data / traffic for replicated jobs.Please for your help 😀 Thank you in advance,Nikos

A customer would like to use  direct attached (SAS) LTO drive. Ist it possible ? I didn’t find how to configure it.Thank youJiri.

Hello Team, I have a client who is requesting to Backup Gsuite mailboxes and also restore the mailboxes to her exchange on-prem.Please, I will like to ask if it is possible with Commvault.  Thanks.

Hello - We have a bunch of DEV servers that the developers turn on and off without letting us know. We would like to setup either a prescan or prebackup process that would check to see if the server is active, either by a network check or seeing if its powered on  - and if its not, skip the backup. Anyone tried this?  thanksPaul

Hi,  Does anyone knows how the Commvault determines the number of clients and instances to be crosschecked? According to Data Aging logs, the function getCrossCheckInfo() returned a total of 10 (ten) Oracle instances to be cross checked, but we have many more.  The option Disable RMAN Crosscheck is NOT checked for any client.   

We’re a Service Provider and want to automate reoccurring tasks using Python, so we can integrate these in our business processes. (examples: creating new schedule policy, creating new storage pool, create scheduled report)As I’m new to Python it would be really handy to have some way of converting a Commvault action to a finished Python script/command, similar to how you can see certain API equivalents or save certain actions as a script from within the Java Console.Is that possible or some other way to get the Python command equivalent without having to manually put it together?I’m aware of the info on the documentation online and GitHub, but it would be great to have more examples than the ones on the documentation site so they can be used as a guideline for non-Python pros. For example for each option a quick example, as it is done with the qcommands.
