Linux VSA (RHEL 8.2) - Issues with Mono Process (Causing to hang)

Hi,We are having an issue with a VSA Proxy Running on RHEL 8.2. (11.21.24)When we start a VM backup, the VSDiscovery phase seems to go well and complete, however the VSBackup phase hangs with error “The control process for the previous phase is still running. PID [343440]”That PID corresponds to the previous discovery phase, so it looks like that phase wasn’t closed properly even though in the logs we can see it completes it correctly.What we do observe in the VSDiscovery log is the Mono process starting a cleanup right after the VSDiscovery process ends, and we think that is what is causing our issues: VSDiscovery.log..343440 53d90 04/07 14:17:46 3526286 BKP CALLED COMPLETE (PHASE Status::SUCCESS), 3526286. Token [3526286:2:1:0:57156]343440 53d90 04/07 14:17:47 3526286 CVMWareInfo::ShutdownVMInfo() - VMDiskInfo::Shutdown complete343440 53da9 04/07 14:17:47 3526286 mono cleanup started… When we kill the PID manually and resume the job, it will complete succesfully. So I’m thinking ther

How to manually run missing aux copies

Because of a bug, my cloud storage hit 100% full and not all year-end backups were replicated to the cloud.  I’ve worked with CommVault support and now have 50% free space.  Even though the Aux Copy job has run several times, there are still year-end backups that haven’t replicated to cloud storage.  How do I get CommVault to copy the missing backups?Ken

Windows Installation Package with param file

Hello,according to : Installing a Windows Custom Package Configured as a Self-Extracting Executable File (commvault.com) It should be possible to use the /play parameter with the selfextracting CustomPackage.exeNote: If you want to use a custom answer file during the installation, add the argument /play install.xml to the above command, where install.xml is the name of the custom answer file in the custom packageThis doesn’t work for me. It is simply ignored and the installation is playing the install.xml included in the package.exe.Any idea, how to update the install.xml contained in the .exe or add some parameters, like the gateway to be used during client registration, from the commandline ?Can you tell me how to get an alternate / addiional install.xml into the package.exe ? (if this is required here)Simply using 7zip is not working für me here.I’m currently using V11.25.14The only other option I see is to either create selfextracting packages for every possible target environment

Restore issue

Hi Community, I’m facing an issue, and maybe some of you already experienced it. We had a client associated to a storage policy, which was working fine, we added a new MA and created a storage policy with this new MA. After that, we wanted to associate the client to the newly created storage policy in order to use the new MA. After changing the storage policy, we faced an issue with backups, indexing wasn’t working properly, which we fixed by changing the index server of the backupset of the client from the old MA to the new one, and now we are facing an issue where we cannot restore anymore (Below a screenshot).Please note that we restarted all services for all Commserve, old MA, new MA.In the DATA RECOVERY JOBS summary, we have a CommServe Management jobs with the storage policy index as a client, stating that there is no communication between the 2 MA. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Regards.

Error: MAPILogonEx failed

Hello Commvault Community,  Today I have a problem with Exchange 2010 operations, and more specifically for the Outlook 2013 application.When deleting e-mails from an archived mailbox, an error appears:---"Mailbox [<Mailbox Name>], Skip / Failure Reason [Error: MAPILogonEx failed, reason:> [MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED (0 × 80040111)] <, Please verify that the profile this product created can log on to its associated mailbox using the Exchange Client Software.

Recently migrated VM;s shutdown during/after snapshot

Just in the past 3-4 days - we have been getting notices of servers powering off after they receive a vm snap from commvault. Its a pretty broad issue and nothing is really a smoking gun now. The only common trait is ; the same vm’s that were part of a recent migration are ones that are doing this. I was thinking about forcing a storage vmotion to true up any delta or split vmdk’s that could be causing a timeout on the snap. From the commvault side the backup is completing. - but the vm is shutdown. I will look further into properties but wanted to drop this here.
