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 0, though it actually only runs 8 streams/readers. For reference, here's the active streams of the same job showing 8 readers/streams 

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 the job properties so it

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.

Hello Folks,I have to perform these three steps via WF but I can't find any guide that I can help myself.Anyone have experience?Backup of Server AMI (AWS)ThenBackup FS via Media AgentThenSQL Backup FULL / Differential OnlineBest regards,xor

hi, we have on AUX copy with WORM definition, now we want to delete those jobscan someone help?

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 this so we can use

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
