Is there a way to schedule an out of place restore (to disk) of a specific o365 teams-folder? For DR-preperation we need a weekly copy of this folder inhouse...In commcell console we have the posibility to save restore jobs as xml-files, and start a restore in task scheduler. But for the o365 jobs i can't find a similar possibility in the webgui.

Hello, once again I have a strange problem. We have set up a PostgreSQL backup and wanted to create an initial full backup. Data was transferred and everything looked good so far. However, at 88% the job stops. Under Log for the Job I only get this information. 23258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 IDXCONNECT *****************USING NEW INDEXING LAYER**************23258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 IDXCONNECT Stream Id not set, Generating it23258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 IDXCONNECT Initializing Indexing connection to client [cvmapapp01] from [fxvsdpg2], Setting log mode as offline23258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 CVArchive::ConnectSessionToArchiveManager() - Attaching to CommServer [cvcspapp01] from Platform Type 423258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 CVArchive::ConnectSessionToArchiveManager() - Attached to CommServe23258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 IDXCONNECT starting afile (2,194,8136411)23258 5ada 01/11 16:34:15 3840492 CVOnDemandSvcClient::SubmitTask() - On Demand service CVODS_logmanage
Situation is I have a setup with three hyperscale nodes and a cloud library. The wish is to use all three the nodes to the cloud library and make two DDB partition on each node. At the moment we were able to connect two of the nodes to the library and create two DDB partitions on the two nodes, but when I try to add two more partitions for the third node the add partitions option os greyed out. As from the documentation :”Configuring Additional Partitions for a Deduplication Database” you should be able to create a six partition DDB. This is also the case for the two existing Storage Pool Libraries on the Hyperscales. So my question is, am I doing something wrong, missing a limitation or is something wrong within the configuration which is causing this?
We are building up a high-available Postgresql cluster by using HA-Proxy, etcd and Patroni.In this design the postgres-instances are controlled by the patroni-service and are located in a separate directory on a dedicated lvm each. There is also the socket-file stored.While trying to connect, Commvault is looking in the default directory ‘/var/run/postgresql/’ for the socket-file and then failes, because it is located in an instance-specific directory instead like ‘/data/patroni/instance1/’Is there a way to tell Commvault this path? Like in the MySQL iDA where there is a field specific for the “Socket File”?
Hello,Is there a script that prevents a tape from being reused? Only script i found was the mark tape full, but that doesn´t assure me that the tape won’t get used once the data in it expires.I have around 12k tapes that i need to prevent reuse and doing it via GUI doens’t seem to be very workable.Any ideas? Kind regards,Amaral

We already created Azure app for Azure VM agentless backup in one subscription, plan to create additional 10 subscription for business purpose, plan to backup about 100 Azure VM in each subscription, totally will increase 1000 servers backup demand.Shall we use current Azure app to cover all 11 Azure subscription backup demand? or better to create Azure app for each subscription?

I upgraded my CommServ to 11_20_85 and I read that this would remediate the log4j vulnerability. So I had the IA folks rescan the server and it came back hot and this is the path they sited. E:\ProgramFiles\Commvault\ContentStore\CVCIEngine\CvPreviewHome\webapps\CvContentPreviewGenApp\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.17.jar - they are advising to upgrade to a version of Apache Log4j
Hello,I’m aware that in Commvault, settings at Client level are more important than those at Client Computer Groups or CommCell level. I know that it was mentioned somewhere in docs, but after spending 2 hours on looking for it I gave up. Can someone give me a hand and point where it is? regards,Łukasz.
Hi all! In our environment, we have constant scanning of ports from Qualys and other network security tools. We are always randomly having ports seemingly blocked, or port exhaustion, or in use from scanning. We can’t quit put our finger on the whole occasional pipeline error, or other CommVault network error. We are 95% virtual something like 5,000 Vm. Would anyone have any suggestions on how we can protect our infrastructure from the scans, and port blocks? Can I use topology between the 20 hyperscale media agents and commserve to force them onto 8403? Any suggestions?
Hi,Need guidance on how do we properly reclaim some space from the successful backup jobs? Is there a way to delete manually the backup jobs? if there is, when I deleted the backup jobs do the capacity I free up from the deleted backup job will immediately reflected from the Storage Pool?
Hi all, This might be a stupid question but customer asks why cvlt requires root/admin privilege on each platform for installation and operation.Anyone who can articulate this briefly in technical perspective?Thanks.
Hi Community ,As a security ask , can we implement Commvault user authentication while installing or uninstalling cv software either locally or through console ?I observe that while installing CV software locally , user authentication is required but while uninstalling there is no authentication requirement. Let me know if this is done for a purpose?
i need explanation why commvault uses yellow ports ?
Hey all -I was under the impression that if we install a SQL agent on a VM, it does NOT use capacity. This capacity licensing is ear marked for a main frame backup. Thoughts? Do we need to open a ticket? Thanks!
I hope this is simple to answer for someone. I looked in the Azure portal but was unable to find what I was looking for. We’re new to using Azure archive for our secondary copies, and the billing seems higher than expected. Actual billing is showing about five times higher than estimates. We’re wondering if some data is in hot or cool rather than archive. Is there an easy way to identify what is in hot, cool, and archive by a chart or something in the portal?
Hello,I want to centralize the view of all my commserve located at different site.Each commserve is independant with their own libraries, media agent, clients.My infrastrucutre is composed of1 commserve on premise hosted on Head quarter1 commserve DR on AWS 5 sites with their own commvault environnement is it possible and how to achieve that ? does it need additional servers ? The most important thing is to view all the reports at te same console I have seen a post were this option is mentionned :https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/133198_viewing_service_commcell_information_at_global_level.html also I have seen :GRC and Universal Command Center Thank you very much !
