Hi, we have a customer where we want to implement VMware continuous replications for his large VMs (11TB+).We have tested it with a small VM and it was running fine. but we have noticed that during the first sync it creates a VMware snapshot to backup/create the VM on the destination site. After the VM is created and the baseline is there the snapshot is removed and continuous replication is running.We have calculated how much time the first initialization has taken. The conclusion is that when we do this for the large VMs they will have a snapshots for almost two weeks. Now we are afraid that when we start a replication for this large VM and it will have a snapshot for two weeks, that after the first initialization the consolidation of the snapshot will give problems to the source VM.Is there anybody having a solution for the VMware continuous replication for large VMs? Is there a workaround for this like seeding or something?Regards Dominic

Good Day.   I am trying to resolve a client backup issue (https://ma.commvault.com/Article/Details/5994).   The resolution says to change parameters on the Job Configuration tab of the client properties (see resolution below).  I am not able to find this tab when I search the client properties.  Please review and give me the path to this location.  Thank you. Resolution:Kill the current job and open the properties of the client. Under Job Configuration

Hi, I have a question regarding metrics server package installation. Comcell to which I want to attach metrics host is on 11.24.32, but metrics package I chose is v11.25.latest because we have 5 comcells in total and 2 of them are already on sp25 and if I heard correctly - metrics should be the highest version?Install is failing to check client install requirement with CommServe. When I specify commserve host name I can see in the logs @@COMMSERVE@@ instead of the hostname that I’ve specified as well.Error: 1900  8     04/12 14:39:15 ### ### ### - Error: Failed to check client install requirement with CommServe.1900  1     04/12 14:39:15 ### ### ### - Server Error:  (Error) Given package is not a valid package [67109493].

There is a requiremment from Unix team to extract a list of Unix servers (no windows or other OS) currently backing up in commvault. Usually I am using report → job summary tab to generate other reports in commvault. Is there any way to generate only Unix servers which are backing up in commvault without missing any servers. Thanks in advance

We have a Media agent MA1 (Physical Server) located at Site A with disk libarary still having jobs under retention till next one year. However, siteA is now decomissioned. We would like to rebuild MA1  and use storage at another site SiteB, but would like retain jobs which are still under retention.  Doing a backup job of CV_magnetic files to another disk library a good option What would be a best approach

Hi, I am facing error regarding connection to DeDuplication Database. It can be caused by many reason but my specific problem is that the directory with DDB is locked for write. This was confirmed by SIDBEngine.log and simply you cannot create folder in DDB folder.Status of DDB is ONLINE. I can freely read from it, I can freely travers through it, I can copy the folder to different place and here I can create files/folders inside without limit. There is no way to manage from CMV - it is not possible to backup, restore, seal, verify etc. I cannot move the partition. It seems as Windows/Hardware problem but….I checked windows logs - no events from disk, scsi etc.I checked filesystem - all looks fineI checked hardware events (it is HPE server, so iLO log, IML log, I checked smart array status)It seems that it is limited only to this DDB folder. On the same drive, same volume, different directory all working as usual. So there is no write protec

Good Day.  I have a customer server that is having an issue with a Commvault reinstallation.   The Commvault agent was corrupted.  The recommendation from the Commvault Knowledge base was to uninstall using the Microsoft uninstall tool.  The MS uninstall tool ran successfully but the Commvault reinstallation is still failing.   When we execute the Commvault ContentStore we get “No 11.0 instance is installed on the setup.”  Has anyone experienced this behavior and if so, please point me to documentation that can help resolve this issue.  Thanks.  

You can refresh data-centers from the GUI, is there an equivalent for the REST api?The api explorer has /v2/vsa/hypervisor/clientID/refresh But that seems to only refresh the actual DC list, rather than the VM list.  Basically I want to be able discover a VM that is not currently a part of a subclient. Thanks.Chris.

Hi, have anyone made a script or used cli commands to control the procedure of shutting down an entire commserve environment in windows.I suppose you can do most of the stopping services with windows powershell , but how to disable all activity in commserve. 

Hello, We have very bad performance for our backup environment.  Slow running DDB’s, high Q&I etc. We found out that we have 10 times lessor IOPS for our Media Agents .  What is the procedure to increase IOPS for the existing Media agents ?

I currently have a S3 bucket that is configured for Standard which is not our best practice. I want to change the data in the bucket to One Zone-IA to match the new uploads coming from the site. Can that be done via the S3 bucket or what is a good recommendation? I am trying to avoid a whole new upload form the site.

Is there a reason that the “Latest Fixes for Current Release:” is much lower than the actual latest maintenance release?  For example, my current “Latest Fixes for Current Release:” is 11.24.34 but 11.24.43 was released April 5th?  I’m thinking I might have to upgrade to 11.24.34 first then onto 11.24.43, is this the case?

Is there a way to search for released clients in the job summary reports ? Would someone that Commvault think about putting button that is unchecked by default to show client that are released.  

Hi,How can I check how many commvault client licenses I have and how many I have already used?ThksDario
