Documentation for Workflows mentions some Functions for Java to interact with or access other Resources during execution https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=49729.htm.But alone from browsing through the other Pages it gets clear there are way more options like activity.exitCode or workflow.setFailed().Dissecting built in Workflows reveals other treasures like csdb.execute(“sqlquery”).Is there a complete list of all available Functions and how/when to use them? Trial-and-Error and Reverse-Engineering by Customers seems error-prone and inefficient.

Our PaaS team is interested in running backups with kubectl and I couldn’t give them a straight answer on this. Is this something that could be built or is in the works?

Hello,I noticed a small issue in one of my schedule. My commserver is in Helsinki time zone UTC+0200I created a replication schedule to run everyday 12:00 AM but I noticed job was running at 10:00 AM local time.Below screenshots captured at 11:00 AM local time. It shows next job in 23 hours (i.e. 10 AM local time) When changing time zone explicitly to UTC+0200, it picks correct time So looks like commserver is identifying itself in a different timezone. I validated OS time on commserver and it is correct (UTC+0200). Any ideas?I am concerned that this may mess up backup times.

A client with both File and SQL backup activated: Will commvault automatically skip SQL data like mdf, ldf in the File backup?Thanks

Management has provided me with a separate partition for my Database backup jobs. I already have a storage policy dedicate to our DB backups. Is there a way to force a backup job or a storage policy to only save to a specified mount path? I am thinking I can move a mount path to the DB partition and then direct my DB storage policy or DB jobs to copy only to the mount path on the DB partition that has been provided 

Hi Good day So there was a power outage, and I lost the SAN LUNs I provisioned for both DDB, Index Cache and even the storage repository. They were mapped/zoned to the Media Agent (Server) initially. Unfortunately, the guy on ground provisioned new storage for these DDBs AND Index Cache, changed the drive letters and reassigned the partitions I have brought back the LUNs and the backup files within are still intact. However, the location specified in the media library is offline. I can’t restore anything from this location.Please I need help, because we need to restore a file server

Hi all. Open Question! I would like to know what I can expect from a Vmware restore, regards to the speed. At the moment I don’t know if my restore speeds are fast or slow. I’m not talking about reverting from a intellisnap snapshot, but fair and square network traffic. What Vmware restore speeds do you get when restoring a single Vmware server?I get:nbd: around 500Gb/hSAN: around 250Gb/hHotadd: Around 900Gb/h Thanks for helping me to determine if my restores are slow. Regards-Anders   

Hi All. I am having issues with restore speed when restoring a vmware server. When a restore is done where “vCenter Client”  is set to the vcenter, restore speeds are slow.When a restore is done where “vCenter Client” is set directly to the ESXI host and the vcenter is bypassed, we see a factor 4 in restore speeds. Anyone who can explain this behavior? I thought that the vcenter was only used for control data and not data movement. Regards-Anders

Hello CV-Community,I have started a Hana DB restore from a HyperScale X Appliance and received an average throughput of ~100GB/hr. The Job was successful and in the events, there were no errors. However, I was wondering if this throughput is normal for an HSX 4-Node System. So I have started another restore test to a different physical destination server and received the same average throughput of ~100GB/hr. All systems are redundantly connected with 10G Network. Also, the Health status of the HSX is good. I looked on the internet but I could not find a documented Benchmark of the HSX.Does anyone know if this performance is "good" or normal for this appliance?For comparison: Backup performance of the same HSX is more then 10x higher and has over 1000GB/hr for the same clients tested for the restore.Regards, Kevin

Hey All, I have a question to the following scenario: Windows MA with an NVME Flashcard Actually the flashcard is formatted with 4K blocksize and we are planning to format the disk for 32KB blocksize as written in BOL ( https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/12411_deduplication_building_block_guide.html )  On the Flashcard we are hosting 3 DDBs. DDB is for backups to an cloudian Backup Device over S3 Protocoll in local Datacenter DDB is for Backups to SAN Attached STorage DDB is for backups into S3 Storage out of the Datacenter I have the following question. Can we use one Windows Partition with 32K Blocksize or should we make 3 partitions with different windows block size ?  

we hv one oracle DB that was restore but asking of archive log we cannot find

We are using a Workflow to monitor Mailboxbackups but it stopped working after Securing the Webserver and using different Ports (HTTPS for example 445, not 443 is used). The issue seems like that a wrong Port is used by a Activity.AbstractHttpClientActivity: [client jobs (HttpClient_ClientJobs)] failed to read response from url [http://COMMSERVENAME.domain.xyz:81/SearchSvc/CVWebService.svc/Job?clientId=1202&completedJobLookupTime=86400]org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to COMMSERVENAME.domain.xyz:81 [COMMSERVENAME.domain.xyz/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, COMMSERVENAME.domain.xyz/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1] failed: Connection refused: connectCaused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect As documentated this HttpClient Activtiy is part of the Workflow HttpClient Sends

HiHad anyone created a report, that can show retention(date) based on each client level? 

I’m very curious if other companies have adopted Continuous Replication within their VMware environments. We are a rather large RP4VM shop and there are many… challenges. I’ve watched CR mature over time and we’re at the point where we’re ready to start testing at scale. We have roughly 7,000 VM’s which need to be replicated (no point in time recovery, just latest recovery point) and I’m curious how others have configured their environment to support 24x7 replication (absolutely no downtime).

Hi Guys,I have some questions about Cloudian S3 storage.Does Commvault fully support Cloudian S3 storage? If so, is ‘object lock’ functionality also supported?I cannot find any information about it in the BOL.Rgds,Kamil

Hi Community.Our Riskassessment Team found some Issues with jQuery on our ContentMailSever/Exchange Online Access Systems. It seems they are using the jQuery Version 1.9.1 and it gets flagged for being EOL.All our installed Clients are on V11.24.25 and also have the Hotfix for the log4j Issue.Is there any timeline for replace the old jQuery Version in V11.24.x or do we need to update to V11.25 or even V11.26?Or is there a supported way, to replace the libs manually?

We have 2 data centers, each having a HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Appliance and configured to a media agent in the data center.DC1- dc1mediaagent <> DC1 HPE StoreDC2-dc2mediaagent ↔ DC2 HPE StoreNow we want to get an AuxCopy going between DC1-HPE Store to DC2-HPE Store and another DC2-HPE store to DC1-HPE Store. We have tried configuring the libraries and sharing them to the other media agent.  but the AuxCopy fails with Chunk errors   Failures constantlyWe had no issues using Synology arrays between DC1 and DC2.Any ideas on best practice with HPE StoreOnce appliances? ThanksLarry

Hello everyone, Before I open a ticket, I decided to ask here first, :).I’m with a alert configured to send via e-mail to a client when the Job Restore Succeed (Replication), but this client ask me to add more info so he don’t need to open the Command Center to see exactly what exactly was successful.With this, I went in the Command Center > Monitoring > Alerts > Alerts Definitions > the Alert itself. I edited the template and add more informations in it and then I saved the template, but when the client received the alert, he received the e-mail totally deconfigured, with the criterias I inserted, but with no informations:So what I did after this was to restore everything back to the original, and reconfigure the Alert using the Console Java Gui. I saved the template, and inserted more options in t

Hi all, we are still facing the issue with failing VSA HotAdd mode backup, that ends with the error "Virtual disks needs consolidation".We know, that during the back up, the virtual disks are binded to VM proxy, a snapshot is done, but the virtual disks stay attached to the backup proxy.My question is, where to find logs from the back up process from the VM proxy. I think, in these logs it could be documented, why the virtual disks are still attached to the backup proxy VM. I have checked the log of the job, but there was no such information. Is there any log, that describes what is being done during the backup job on the VM proxy? Cheers!

Hi Does any one have experience doing snapshot of SAP HANA instances, where the SAP HANA instances are running as an VM using vmware?

Hello,I am on commvault v11 SP20 trying to restore exchange mailbox items by changing copy precedence or using a disk library from aux copy (not primary) Restore runs fine but always picks up media agent associated with primary copy.Tried from commcell console and command center (no option to change copy precedence in command center for exchange mailbox) Is it expected behavior or I am doing something wrong here?

Thanks Bill for detailed documentation. This helped me during setting up NFS for teradata backup purposes.I see performance for the jobs written on NFS is not same as other jobs using same disk library.NFS jobs are running with average throughput of 100GB/hr while other agent jobs to same disk library is in TB/hr.Ran CVperformance check on disk cache and that is also much better (throughput in TB/hr) Anything to check further. I have logged support case but any advice is appreciated.
