Hi All,i want to configure 3rd party storage replication between 2 Commvault sites (every site has a Media Agent) , instead of using a dash/aux copy.is this supported? What is the way for restoring from DR site when doing a failover after a crisis? Can we just scan the CIFS share on the DR media agent and restore all data?thanks.

Hi,we want to backup some vmware vms sitting at a hosters site.For security reasons, the vcenter is in a different network segment and only available via an exclusive vpn connection.So i wanted to setup a Pre-Scan script to up and a Post-Backup script to down the VPN.But for whatever reason, the vmware VSA agent isn’t supporting a Pre-Scan script.Am I the only one, looking for this feature/function?Is there a workaround?I would really like to not have to use another program to schedule the VPN. Best RegardsJoerg

Hello,I have found ntfs disk errors ot commvault disk library.The library was offline. I have performed check disk on the volume and errors have been fixed.How to check health and data integrity  of the backup files and directoriesThank you!

When creating workflows or reports you need to refer CSDB directly.If you can find out appropriate views or examples (in this community for instance), this would be helpful.But most of the cases there's no clue to identify the whereabouts of the data which you need to retrieve, this is a technique how to find out the data from CSDB.Suppose you want to identify the table location of subclient entry like: First prepare for "Full-text search" on CSDB using this kind of technique:Search all tables, all columns for a specific value SQL Server [duplicate], this query can search all tables for specific text, I'm creating this query as s

Similar to this article, I'd like to show simple queries to retrieve DDB information from CSDB.Important note: do not modify CSDB data and modules, just use READ operations only.Also pleaseTo keep your activities safe you need to keep uncommitted read from any table as one of the following techniques:use CommServ -- just for convenience-- place the following at the top of any queryset transaction isolation level read uncommitted;-- place with(nolock) statement in each table referenceselect * from APP_Application with(nolock)Most of the DDB information is stored in tables started with Idx, for configuration of DDB is stored mainly the following 3 tables, first one is fo

Hello,is it possible/supported to restore sharepoint online list column? thank you

Hi guys,  Recently, we upgraded our CommCell environment, from one of the clients, the upgrade passed successfully, on the CommCell console, the new version is showed up, but on the client side, when checking the commvault services status, we found out that it’s the old version that is still showed up comparing to the other clients. We tried restarting services, but, the issue remained.Any suggestion to clear this issue ? Is there some sort of cache on the clients to be cleared, or anything else ? Regards.

All my media agents have the same settings in Media Agent → Properties → “General” Tab except one, which has ”Validation on Network” not checked (the others do). I found the docs for this setting here:  MediaAgent - Online Help (commvault.com) and its one of those where the definition is basically rewording the setting (not a lot of detail)Is there any reason anyone would *not* want to check “Validation on Network”?  I’m not sure if it was an oversight or done for some reason for this one media agent. I’m mostly sure it was oversight or forgotten about, but wanted to see if “Validation on Network” was something set by default (I’m on SP16), or if people turn it off as its CPU intensive or mostly unnecessary unless you need xyz protection from bad/choppy network connections.  I would guess that if “Validation on Network” is unch

Hey folks,Hope everyone is having an amazing day!I was hoping you could help us out by letting us know what your preferred backup window is, as well as your patch window / schedule. We’re working on something internally and some quick validation from the community would be really helpful.I created a quick 6 question survey, and all responses are completely anonymous.https://forms.office.com/r/NkFPDf1M0k 

Hi, I have issue after upgrade Commserve and MediaAgent. On the customer environment has Commserve and 2 MediaAgent, I have upgrade Commserve to SP24 and 2 MediaAgent to SP24. The result Commserve is complete upgrade fine and 1 MedaiAgent is complete upgrade fine. The second MediaAgent is display that can’t communicate with commserve need to change commserve name.I have check on Commcell the second MediaAgent go offline and check readiness, it shows about communicate. So I try to check network ping , telnet , and check on hostfile. CS can ping <ip> and <hostname> to second MediaAgent, MediaAgent can ping <ip> and <hostname> to CS. CS = OKMA1 = OKMA2 = need commserve to change name Is anyone has meet about this issue? Please advise me. Thank you.

Good morning to all.On a monthly basis I release auxiliary copies to tape ending with a total of 11 tapes.I wanted to do a restore of about 675MB and it asked me for 9 tapes to do it, is this so why the data has been distributed on 9 tapes?Shouldn't it be on one tape only? Since the size of the L7 tape is large.  Could it be due to the "Use Scalable Resource Allocation" option? Thank you very much for your help.Best regards,Johana 😀

Good morning allI wanted to confirm that initiating a restore using Command Centre won’t give you the option to change the Data Path (Media Agent and Library)?We’re allowing business units to manage their own operations and this is one requirement that’s come up, and it looks like we will have to get them to use the Java console instead? Thanks.Mauro

Hi Everyone,Greetings, we are planning to migrate the commserve from 2012 OS server to 2019. The commserve service pack is 11 SP 9+, we are planning to upgrade 11.24 with latest maintenance. Here the question is, the commserve running on low OS 2012, can we upgrade the commserve to latest version on same OS to migrate or after migration of database to new hardware need to upgrade the service pack? Thanks and regards. 

The rest api has the ability to list credentials, and to get details for the credentials but cannot retrieve the actual credentials?This seems incomplete / pointless.am I missing something?I am trying to use powershell to make some changes outside of Commvault but the credential manager api doesn’t seem to be able to return actual credentials.https://api.commvault.com/#7dc77320-bdce-4591-95c4-ccd3325e2094    

Hello! Is it securely possible to have a CV environment for servers, which is not in Active Directory and using one set of Media Agents, to share those Media Agents with another Commserve which IS in AD in order to facilitate backing up of workstations?  How hard would this be?Things I’m wondering about: We could just create a new Library on the Media Agent dedicated to workstations.  There are actually two MAs, one at each of our locations, but let’s keep this simpler for now. How susceptible do we think the server Libraries are to hacking attempts via CV?  The only communication between Commserves, workstations and media agents is TCP 8000-8006? Commserves for server backups are segrated from “everybody else” short of a few physical servers and ESX/VMs.  If we are hacked on the workstation side (let’s assume someone gets into an admin account and runs ramped), can they harm the server backups in another library on the same media a

Hello,Can I know what is the process or algorithm of VSA coordinator proxy node on how it load balances between the VSA proxy server in the list .. Any link or explanation would be helpful.. I have seen cases where 20-25 VSA proxy nodes are used in very large environment… Hence would like to know how the proxy nodes are spanned across each VM during the backup process..   Thanks

My Metallic Auxiliary Copy looks to be moving between 20 and 40 Mbps.My fiber internet is 200/200Mbps.Where do I start looking to troubleshoot/adjust the Auxiliary Copy speed?Note: I am in a demo, so if the VM or File demo has a cloud copy speed maximum that would be good to know.

Hello Team,We have restored File system backup job, it’s got restored but is showing No. of Skipped files as per the restore job. We checked skip files, but the files are restored in target location. We want to know the reason for skipped files. As per the restore log, it’s showing “The failed byte count does not include files that failed due to seek error”. Please advise.

Hello, TeamI have this client with these issues. 1. They backup currently on an Oracle DR server (the production database replicates to to the DR(They don't use production because of performance issue))and they are having this resync issue.. below is the error: Error Code: [18:183] Description: Failed with Oracle DB/RMAN error [RMAN-03002: failure of allocate command at 04/27/2022 07:16:05 RMAN-03014: implicit resync of recovery catalog failed RMAN-03009: failure of partial resync command on default channel at 04/27/2022 07:16:05 ORA-20110: set stamp set count conflict ]2. When they do a restore of an oracle database, on the Database end, it requests for an archive logs of 5 years ago.  What could be the cause of these problems? I am writing a report to them and these are the only 2 issues I have not been able to fathom.
