Good day allWould there be any information available on Huawei RDS support from Commvault?I’ve been told that it will work using the AWS RDS methodology (will be testing this), but for a customer we would be required to have official support matrixes in place.Perhaps someone has a roadmap on this and is allowed to share some information? Thank you.

Hi,Can someone clarify the Instant Clone or “Optimize for table level restore” features?I have multiple SQL Servers. DB admins ask me about possibility to restore single tables instead of whole databases (some of them are huge like 10+ TB).So now I’m testing this on my playground but I’m not sure I get how it works.Creating recovery point / instant clone attach new database to selected instance and on low-level this is VSS snapshot mounted directly from my Commvault disk library to the proxy server. So there is no real data on server - it’s just on my commvault library. Is that correct?Proxy server have to be the server when I have target instance.I can’t restore tables directly to the source database. I can only restore tables to some another databases. So what is the point of this feature?I saw that enabling this cause backup by only 1 stream. Is that true?

I’m asking because the document in version 11.28 has been deleted. Before upgrading Commvault from version 11.28 to 40, I would like to upgrade the Windows version of the Commserve server to 2022. - After DR backup, format the entire existing Commserve server, then install Windows 2022 - DR recovery after installing version 11.28 of Commserve - Upgrade to 11.40 We plan to proceed with the work in this order.Is it possible to use version 11.28 of Commserve in Windows 2022?

Hi community.We recently configured the Oracle agent on a Linux machine, the instance is discovered and configured. But when checking the readiness, it gets the error below: Connect string: /SBT library path: /backup/catalyst/commvault/Base/libobk.soRMAN failed to load SBT library [RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on c1 channel at 02/24/2026 16:49:34 ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-27211: Failed to load Media Management Library ]. Please run Check Readiness on the client to diagnose and resolve the issues. Checking the logs, I see the lines below: 39612 9abc 02/10 16:15:29 ### SetOracleBaseEnv(6236) - Failed to execute script [/backup/catalyst/commvault/Base/Temp/orabase_39612.sh] returnCode [126] output [] errorStr [ERROR: ld.so: object '/backup/catalyst/commvault/Base/libCvDllFilter.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.bash: /backup/catalyst/commvault/Base/Temp//ulimitquery_67447.sh: Permission denied Does anyone have fac

We are looking at trends in Commvault to provide forecasting on the onsite storage (Hyperscale X). We need to provide the client with possible dates of when the storage will run out based on the past 6 months usage.  We are busy implementing a CV metrics server but not sure if this will provide the result/report we need.  

Where can I start downloading the Security Advisories CV_2026_07_5, CV_2026_07_8, and CV_2026_07_8? Thank you Arturo. 

Hi guys,I’m currently evaluating / planning the migration from a Windows CommServe to a Linux CommServe.We are using a Fujitsu ETERNUS CS8000 virtual tape library with VJUK (generic SCSI library) emulation as Tape backend.The Workflow (Prefetch Tapes for Restore) provided by Commvault to prefetch media, that have been migrated from cache, is no longer working on Linux CommServe.The Command ManualPrefetchTapes.exe, that is called by the workflow on Windows, cannot be found in the Linux distribution.Can someone tell me where to get it ?Or is there a newer version of the prefetch workflow available, that does no longer use the external command to initiate the prefetch ?Currently running on V11.40.59BRKlaus

Hi:I would like to to know if the RPO and RTO data shown in the reports (https://cloud.commvault.com/commandcenter/#/softwareStore/10370Command Center) from Command Center are generated based in real data (I mean, based on true recovery times from the customer) or are calculated using AI or other ways.  I will appreciate more details and if someone has experience with this report, and also if the report was useful.Thanks,Paul

Hello,I have an HSX storage increased a lot from June to JulyThe storage is a destination for:primary copies secondary copies from another HSX secondary copy for cloud copyWhat is the best way to determine what caused this growth?I tried multiple report but I didn’t find any cause.the capacity license is still the same between June and JulyThanks !

Hello, guys  I want to perform a secondary copy to tape, and be able to write the data to tow tapes at once, Same data must be written to tow different tapes that belong to two different pools (main pool and copy pool). The idea is to be able to have mirroed data on tapes that will be stored on different sites (customer policy). Data must be read once from primary store (source) and write at same time to diferent tapes.Customer has a library with 3 drives. Any idea?Regards.  

I have a interesting issue.  My AUX copy streams are capping out at 180 GB/h despite having multiple 10 GB WAN links.  I see this issue on a Storage Policy that has dedupe and compression disabled.(due to large unique data being backed up).   Does anyone by chance have a storage policy with no dedupe or compression?   I am really curious to know what speeds you are seeing on your AUX copy streams.   I feel like these should be able to go faster, but having a hard time convincing support that there is something in CV that is restricting it.We have set the nNumPipelineBuffers set to 900 already.  Our Dedupe AUX copies run amazing since there are so many streams for it to work with. 

Can someone confirm whether when staging the DB the Command Center isn’t usable by design? The Console works but I can’t seem to get the web UI to load (Please wait while our servers start up. This may take a few minutes.). curl returns the fact it’s running. I replaced the signed certs and all that but it seems it just doesn’t function so I’m wondering if that is expected behavior.thanks

Hello,Does anyone know if you can search the chat history on the Arlie website for specific terms?Thanks and regards,Thomas

We currently have a self-hosted Commvault environment running version 11.36.The CommServe and MediaAgent are installed on the same physical Windows server. The same server also hosts the existing MediaAgent components, including the DDB, Index Cache, Disk Libraries, Mount Paths, Data Paths.The customer’s main requirements are:Minimum operational risk Minimum downtime No unnecessary CommServe name or IP updates on the clients The existing physical server must remain in service as the MediaAgent after the separationOur planned approach is to first upgrade the existing combined CommServe/MediaAgent server from 11.36 to the latest approved 11.40 Maintenance Release.The upgrade and the separation will be performed as two separate changes, with a stabilization and validation period between them.Planned Final ArchitectureNew virtual server:CommServe only Receives the original CommServe hostname Receives the original CommServe IP addressExisting physical server:Remains as the MediaAgent Receiv

Hi together,In Veeam, there is a feature called "Secure Backup" which is a service for DRP audits (backups recoverability is tested). Does anyone know this feature and can tell me if there is a similar function in CommVault?I have not found one yet (Version 11.24.94).thanks in advance for your answers and best regards Pascal

I am looking for stencils that can be imported into draw.io to build backup diagrams and environments for documentation purpose.Is this something Commvault has available to customer? If so, can you send a link for download please?Thank you

Just wanted to validate this...I’ve been chatting with Arlie and trying to get a proper “list of steps” to add a new mount point (in an existing library) to media agent “A” and then to share that with Media agent “B”. All Media Agents are Windows. It seems the steps (not all from Arlie) are:Media Agent A: Add storage and mount drive (say L:\). Format Disk as GPT, and 64KB allocation. Media Agent A: “Share” L:\… using a service account as “browse/read/write”. The share is now like “\\A\sharename” Media agent B: Map that Share as UNC (“\\A\sharename”) as drive L:\, using the same service account. I presume also set it to “auto connect at sign-in” so the mount point does not go away on reboot. In Java console, choose storage library → Add Mount Path. Choose media agent A and drive L:\, Pick mount path and choose “Share” with Media Agent B and make it read/write. Looks like I need to input the service account/credentials here too. Additionally, I may need to select “Transport type: Regular

Is there a Commvault requirement for Active Directory Delegation allowed?

Hi Community,I am encountering an error when attempting to download the new Maintenance Release (LTS) directly into the CommServe Software Cache using the Download Software feature.Here are the details of the failure:Error Code: 68:585Process: Download SoftwareSource: commserver

11.40 code - I have ran into an issue where the local break glass account is unable to be used when SAML is enabled. This apparently is due to the fact that the email associated with the local account is in fact in the IdP and once it detects that, there’s no way to “cancel” the redirect. Is there no way to disable SAML for specific accounts regardless of whether the email account exists in the external IdP?Since the email is a required field for all accounts and having a valid email for such an account makes sense BUT you have to have it syncing in order to actually authenticate and manage that mailbox, seems like a catch-22. Security prefers SSO. Plus if the external provider is unavailable for whatever reason, nobody, even the break glass account can login.I do have a case open with this but so far we haven’t found a solution.

Hello Community !  I have environment 11.32 that I want to upgrade to 11.40 ,can I backup servers 2012R2 or 2012 or 2008R2 that have agent of 11.32 on 11.40 environment? Thanks.

Hello everyone,For the past few days, I’ve been working with a Commvault engineer to disable the compliance lock on the Storage Policy. There was some obsolete data that wasn't expiring—possibly because we didn't have secondary copies, or because some items were linked to other data that hadn't yet completed its lifecycle. Anyway, the data was deleted, but the change wasn't reflected in the storage yet. To be certain, is it best to validate this via the library or the Storage Pool? Could you please advise?

Hi Commvault Community,We are backing up Proxmox Virtual Machines using Commvault.During the backup process, we observe that a snapshot is created on the Proxmox VM storage. The snapshot appears to consume storage space approximately equal to the VM disk size.For example:VM Disk Size: [300 GB] Proxmox Storage Type: [LVM-thin / ZFS / Ceph / NFS / iSCSI / Other] Commvault Access Node: Physical Server  Backup Type: Full / Incremental Storage Backend: [SAN/NAS/Local Storage]During the Commvault backup, the Proxmox snapshot is created on the same storage where the VM disk resides. We would like to understand:Is it expected behavior for the Proxmox snapshot created during a Commvault backup to consume storage close to the provisioned VM disk size? Does Commvault use a standard Proxmox snapshot or another snapshot mechanism? Is there a way to configure the snapshot to use a different storage location? Does Commvault support storage-level snapshots for Proxmox? What is the recommended configur

NetApp is currently selling the successor to the ASA (SAN Only), the ASAr2, at an attractive price. Basically, it is a system from the ONTAP family, like the FAS or AFF systems. Unfortunately, the API has changed considerably, and Commvault does not yet support the ASAr2 API. I’ve heard that integration is being worked on. Is there a timeline for this?We have a few projects where Commvault (new customer) and NetApp would be a good combination.
