Hi, we currently have a customer running HyperScale 1.5 Reference Architecture on SuperMicro hardware. They report that the OS disks are currently configured in RAID0. (details are already requested) They found out the hard way, and would like to change it to RAID1. Can anyone tell me what the (default) config options for the OS disks are? Hardware RAID, Software RAID, RAID1, RAID0? And also, what options would we have if we would like to reconfigure that to RAID1? Would it require a reinstall (I believe we can keep the Storage Pool data)? Or can we manually reconfigure to (software) RAID1, and is that supported? Thanks in advance!
Hi Team, We are about to upgrade our older version of Mongo, which has been causing a few problems with log-files ballooning out. Technically, we are all good with the upgrade process, but I actually don’t know what Mongo does in regards to the Commserve (thats where Mongo is installed). Does anyone know?It would be useful to understand, that in the unlikely event that the upgrade goes pear-shaped, then what functionality or impact to Commserve functionality might we encounter? That would also help in presenting the upgrade change to the customer, who will most likely ask “what is the impact if the upgrade goes wrong”, as they normally do. So if anyone knows, please shout-up! Thanks.
Hi, Yesterday I have updated to 11.24.12. But after installation, I found that it’s now showing my SLA is 28%. Missing SLA includes only the VMs and they are only 4-5 days old and backed up on weekly basis. If I am not wrong SLA period is calculated if there is no backup within 30 days. So is this a bug of this release 11.24.12? Thanks for your answer in advance. Sumit

Hi All, we are trying to backup and very large cifs netaopp filer. We have implemented an NAS proxy for acessing the shares. When we start the job the scan phase broke every 3hours. We tested with an smaller folder / share the scan phase runs in 5 Minuts and the job starts to backup. Is there any additional setting to increase the timeout for the scan pahse ?
HiWill the Virtual Server Snapshot Agent support Hyper-V Storage spaces at some point in the future(Or is there some support at the moment? BOL indicates the Snapshot Engine for VSAs is only VMware VSAN/VxRail) Many thanks in advance
Hi Is there any document for best practice for backup policies for different databases, VMs and file system Regards
Hello ! A couple of days ago I updated the version V12.SP20 to V11.SP24 and installed a hotfix 12. Today I discovered that this hotfix 12 has disappeared from those available for download on the site https://ma.commvault.com/HotfixPacks?fv=11.0&sp=24. There is a problem ?
This is just a question about how we could have better way to rebuild MA. We have a windows based local ma and the data is aux copied to another media agent at a secondary site (different city);The RAID on the local MA was returning errors; so we replaced one of the faulty disk which caused the whole raid configuration to fail. We had to rebuild the whole virtual disk again. Unfortunately since there were only 3-6TB disks; everything OS/DDB/IndexCache/Libraries were in the same Virtual disk and we lost everything. Since we had a copy of the backup data at the secondary location; the quickest way was to rebubuild the MA. The RAID controller was not showing any error; and it was not feasible to send another MA to the site due to lockdown So we rebilt the virutal disk again; installed/upgraded OS to Windows 2019; kept the same hostname/ip configuration; installed Commvault agent and it made the MA online on Commserve. created index cache and DDB added the new mount path in the
Some facts:Version 11.24.7Sharepoint 2016 (on-prem)SP DB backup speeds: 15-25 GB/hr (So not superfast, but atleast it finishes in a reasonable time)SP Documents backup speeds: 1-1.5 GB/hr (So basicly superslow) Some background information:I am a storage guy, who’s recently been put in charge of the backup solution, due to people leaving. While i’ve worked some with other backup solutions before, thats 10+ years ago, so my backup skills are a bit rusty compared to my storage skills, so bear with me if i need things spoon fed :-)Also, the Documents parts of sharepoint have been split up in about 10 different subclients, and this performance issue is affecting all of them.Also, for other backups being run by Commvault, i see very different backup speeds. For instance full backups of some MSSQL servers can provide speeds of 500-3000 GB/hr, so i know the backend of the backup solution can handle a lot higher speeds than what Sharepoint is giving us. Now, if i try to drill down a bit on one
Please help me to understand commvault media agent with deduplication
