Hello guys, I’m running a MS SQL backup via VM in Nutanix and even I disabling the Intellisnap in the client everytime a backup start a backup of snap start to run. I checked in the Command Center and in the configurations the Intellisnap is disabled. My concern in this is because the license of snap is being applied and I don’t want to.Is there something that I can do to disable permanently to not use Intellisnap in this case?
Media Agent - installation directory drive is getting full due to Temp folder C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Base\TempThere are several files start with CVRF* . why this folder is filled up? Can we delete all these files?
Maybe How are mutliple acces nodes used in NAS CIFS share backups? Load-balancing or failover or both? Is it possble to configure this? I did not find this in CV documentation. Thanks at all.
What’s the proper way to inform Dev of a REST API call I’d like them to implement? Are CMRs the way to go, or is there a different channel? The reason I hope for a different channel is that my former TAM assured me Dev wants to know what REST API calls we want/need since they’re trying to wean us from calling SQL database tables directly, so I hope they’re showing their support for with with a specific way of asking. (If you’re wondering: I want ways to list subclients that, for example, are of a specific agent type. For that matter, I want a REST API call to show me the agent types in use in a CommCell. Both of these are in support of being to allow users to ask about backups of agent types they support.)
We have a file server cluster with four nodes. Each node has a certain number of resources (drives) which can also move from one node to another. The second node had to be taken out of the cluster a few weeks ago and is now operational again. If resources move to this node, they can no longer be backed up, because the Commvault plugin does not recognize this. It only works again when I select the resource in Commvault and then perform a manual synchronization. Has anyone ever had this problem ? I also have a few screenshots attached to visualize the problem a bit.RegardsThomas
Hello There is a task of backing up application servers and system databases for SAS (https://www.sas.com/en_us/home.html). Does the Commvault have recommendations or special backup clients for SAS (https://www.sas.com/en_us/home.html).? Regards Aleksandr
Hello.Is it possible to have aux copies configured between different CommCell entities?Same company but different business units in different buildings requiring offsite backup copies but is trying to make use of the infrastructure of the other already existing in their environment.This is probably possible when installing a second instance on the existing MA but will require separate disk libraries entities at that site.Thanks.IggyÂ
Hello,during regular DR-Tests we see problems with the jobresults directory usage for larger DBs (1 TB+):Error Code: [30:375]Description: Encountered error while writing to the file. Error code [28]. Please make sure there is enough disk space on [C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\iDataAgent\JobResults\CV_JobResults\2\0\4455051\RstStage].Source: Clientname, Process: SQLiDACV stages the whole database there, so we must add an additional 3-5 TB disk for that in the DR-Site on each larger machine. We have also bigger SQL machines which does not consume that much of space in the Job Results Directoy, even when the Jobresultsdirectory size is smaller than the size of DB we are restoring.Does anybody know why this is different between SQL-Systems?Â
Is this possible or any better ideas?Problem: Remote office with a small VMware setup where CV agents on clients not permitted. If agents could be installed it would be a simple case of client-side deduplication so they could be backed up remotely. To get deduplication happening would it possible to use a VM-proxy at the remote site send backup data to the data center?   The idea would be:Remote ESX → Remote Proxy …..can’t be deduped because no agent to do itRemote Proxy → data center media agent ….deduped on the proxyRestore will be obviously fully hydrated...they are prepared to live with.
Hey,This is not the first time this happens to me and every time it is an issue since it fills up the disk and it wont release the space until (at least) I either reboot the media agent or add a advsetting key (CLEANUP_TEMP_DB_DAYS = 0). In this case, particular case, i have done both and still wont release the space.Long story short, any time I request a browse from a job that is available on disk but is fairly old, the media agent kicks off a Index Restore, since those indexes are not on media agent anymore. The index kicks in, and thats when the operation starts to fill up the disk. (always with NDMP (V2) that are massive).So, I then, I cancel my browse request, but it is too late now, the background tasks will continue to a point where it fill up the disk.When I look at the three size, I can see the client GUID which just gives us a little bit more info as to which client / confirm the client that cause the problem. So I currently have a media agent that its all of space for a Brow
