Commvault Cloud Topics

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.

Hello everyone, how are you guys doing?Well, currently we have a client that is using Commvault software and he is kinda lost in the alerts that he receives via e-mail (even having the configurations of the Tokens in the Alert when he receives, the pieces of information is not properly shown as he expects like the correct name of the VMs, why some of them are getting errors and which VMs, etc).With this, he requests to see if there’s an option to receive the Alerts integrating with Zabbix or with something similar. I took a look in the Alerts Configurations and I see the option to use SNMP and Webhooks. Here we already have a Zabbix server that we use to receive some specific Alerts such as if the server is down, or rebooted. With this, I took a look in the documentation and noticed that Commvault can use SNMPv3: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/97609_setting_up_snmpv3_alert_notifications.html but I didn’t found anything in how to properly configure th

Hi  All,After installing a new library (NAS with CIFS share) with new storage policy (no compression , no encryption) –Backup jobs are running fine, but aux copy jobs (replication to the DR site) are much slower than before , about x10 times slower.We checked the network performance between MA and repository and between MA production and MA DR site – all working well.What can be the problem? Is there any fine tuning for the aux copy wo work faster?Thanks.

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

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.
