Hi..  When setting a Blackout Window on a schedule policy the clients time zone is honored… Any way to make it honor the time zone on the CS instead?  (v11.25.29)Thank you.. /Rubeck 

Hey, I have a question about DFS: In the area CN=System you can find the backed up DFS part which can be restored. However, this does not provide me with any further information about, for example, the DFS paths behind it at the time of the backup or the permissions that were entered. Is there at Commvault the possibility to get more detailed into the backed up AD points to DFS. So that one does not have to make a "half-blind" restore.  

Hello Everyone I’ve found that I can enable IntelliSnap backup for Google GCP VM Intances. What exactly does it mean? I am familiar with IntelliSnap for other solutions (VMware, Hyper-V and so on) and IntelliSnap makes hardware snapshot of vol/LUN when backuped data lives. I wasn’t able to find any related information how process of IntelliSnap backup within GCP VM environment works. What is the sequence, where snapshots are maintained, what is the difference between regular streaming GCP VSA VM backups and IntelliSnap ones. IBOL states “enable checkbox to run IntelliSnap”, but I am technical guy, I would like to know what does it mean ;) Any theoretical knowledge & experience? Kindest regards,M.

A customer of ours intends to move their Azure workload to Metallic in the near future.Because we don't manage the azure side of things for the customer, I assumed that the Azure blob storage was a combined tier based on what was configured in Commvault (screenshot below). The cloud libraries are configured in Commvault to use a Combined Tier of storage where we write metadata to Hot and chunk data to Archive tier. Based on that I’d suggested that a rehydration of data is needed from Archive tier to hot tier to perform an Auxcopy to Metallic or lodge a ticket with Microsoft to have the entire contents of the blob converted to Hot tier so that it can be read by the AuxCopy process.  

It’s finally been a year (our retention period) for the old file server, which was running on a windows failover cluster, i.e. they needed to have the mediaagent component installed in order for them to work. Now when I try to retire the client “WinFSCluster”, it is showing me the following error - “Failed to delete Client. Snapshots are still mounted.”Nothing comes up in a web search for this error message, so I hope you can assist me, commvault forum folks! 

ÜbersetzenHello,I want to automatically write data from reports into a Word document. For example, the number of failed jobs from the backup-job-summary report should be written to a Word document. Is there already a workflow for this or does anyone have an idea how to implement it?

I’m looking for a little more information on this error to my explain to my boss why this is happening.

I got the messsage 'Commvault Secure Boot: bc8930c65332fe89d50b4b0206ae67544df78040' err -11 every time I reboot a Media Agent Server. Is there any reason to worry about it?

Hi all,Our activate infrastructure consists of a single server with the following roles installed: Web Server Content Analyzer Index Store When I run the first discovery job (online crawl), it completes successfully.If I run the job again (full or incremental) or change the source path, the job fails with the following error:“Could not initialize class com.commvault.solr.handler.extraction.CVStellentParser”  I tried to create a new inventory and  a new project. Again the first job works and the next one ends with errors.As source I tried a network share (share CIFS storage NetApp) a folder on FS iDataAgent client and a local folder of the index server.   

Hi, I have few question about deduplication. I will be very appreciate for help:how to backup servers with enabled deduplication - some special tips how to recover files from volumes with deduplication enabled is the option of data backup on such servers with the use of an installed agent recommended / not recommended, how does it affect the backup speed, why Commvault is not able to recover data from disks after deduplication, maybe something else needs to be configured?Thanks for help!

Hello,i used gxtail and log sequencer for many years and it helped many times to identify problems. The log sequencer files are from 2013 and seem to be deprecated now.

Hello, I am wondering if there is some way to copy, through File System agent, SAN attached volumes in VMs without having to select them one by one for every client (or filtering all the rest of volumes).My idea is to create a Virtual Server subclient to copy the VM itself and another FS subclient to copy the SAN-attached volumes, but avoiding copying again the content of VMDK for that VM. In a small and static environment, filtering the drives to exclude on a per-client base in FS subclient would be feasible, but if you have a big environment or an environment where VMs are constantly created and destroyed, the manual method is not possible.Do you know if it exists a way to automatically select only the SCSI/iSCSI volumes of a File System subclient? Or, that is the same, automatically exclude the non SCSI/iSCSI volumes of a File System subclient? Thanks!

In the Java Console I am trying to custom filter the subclient field of the Storage Policy Properties associated subclients. But this issue applies to all the fields in the Associated Subclients tab.I am trying reassociate some subclients with a new Storage Policy.  I want to filter on “contains”  or “ends with” mssql.  Select all the subclients that meet the criteria and reassociate them to the new subclient. But the conditions in filter are designed for numeric ranges.  is greater than is less than  is betweenThe filter condition should be keyed to text values, the same as they are for the operations filed in the job controller.contains doesn’t contain  begins with ends withI have noticed this misalignment of filter parameters in other places too. Is there a way to modify these filter conditions

Hi all,Does anyone have this issue where disks accumulate on the Proxy server?Some proxies have 23 disks even when there are no jobs running.Automount is disabled and Defender has the correct exclusions.I even added the nRemoveSnapshotRetry keys to additional settings even though I’m not sure if it’s applicable to AHV.Thank you in anticipation.

Hi Could you please advise, If Commvault is able to backup SMB share permissions when it backs up a share that is hosted by a failover cluster? i.e: if we have to restore an entire share through Commvault, will it also restore the share permissions or will these need to be backed up separately, eg: via the registry on the server?

Hi,I have a problem with the installation of a agent Oracle on my client. I try to do a remote instalation since the console but mark a error of low space disk.And after when I try do a manual installation, the local installator marks two unfinished process that if I send to finish, the installer quits. How can I stop these bad installs or force my main install?

Hi guys! I’m completely new to REST API.I just downloaded the Postman CommVault Rest API Workspace and now I’m trying to start with the basic: authentication. But let’s get one step back to the Swagger UI. Just to exclude any wrong configuration inside Postman. I created a new test user inside the CommCell. This user is member of “master” group, so permissions should not be a problem. If I visit the Swagger UI (https://<webserver>/webconsole/sandbox/apiexplorer) and try the POST Login with this test user I get the message: errLogMessage": "Username/Password are incorrect"Well I’m pretty sure the username and the password is correct. I also tried to encode the password with Base64, but get the same error message. Other users also didn’t work. Also I can see a “Authorize” button on the top right corner. When I click on this button I can provide a Authtoken. But where I get this from? Obviously I’m doing something wrong here
