Hello,I have a question regarding this procedure (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/105913_installing_feature_releases_on_standby_commserve_host_and_sql_clients.html).Should be the point 2 ( From the Command Center, install the feature release or the maintenance release in the Standby Commserve Host and the SQL clients in both the production and standby CommServe hosts as follows ) run completely from the standby host?

Hi, one of my customers just noticed that after and upgrade most of the Data Protection Schedule Policy have double ! Original one : O365, duplicate O365 - Clone ? And in the Description is written Automatically cloned by system and the association count is higher in the clone one ! And ideas, should he just open a support call ? 

Hi!I am looking for any advice, tips, pitfalls to avoid, things we should consider and such, with regards to plans for getting from the current commvault installation, to a planned new commvault installation. Current Installation:5+ year old (but updated) installation, with 1 virtual commcell, and 4 physical media-agents, 2 in each datacenter. Physical HW for both the media-agents and the storage are reaching their EOL in 2022 and needs replacing.The Commvault environment is currently in the production domain. New Installation (planned):New installation, with 1 virtual commcell (or possibly clustered?) and 4 virtual media-agents, 2 in each datacenter. The Commvault environment and the underlying virtualization servers for the Commvault CS/MA VMs should be in a completely separate domain from the production domain they are taking backups of.New storage will be 25Gbps iSCSI (or NVMeoF or

When restoring DR backup to another commvault server the restore fails with error: Execution of process [CommServeDR.exe] exited with code [20] Any help is appreciated.

How to configure oracle backup in Commvault using RMAN script

Hi James,Sorry to ask another question. I’m having other issue that I put on hold the configuration of O365. So now I’m trying to get back to it :). I can configure backup to On-prem storage for O365 rite? any issue or caveat that i need to consider? regards,Fauzi

Question: Is the 11.23-LinuxCS-PackagesEanble, the new Linux Commcell Commserve ?If so I am super excited to test it out on my home lab.https://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/130/725/19255    

Is it possible to have more than one commserve in my backup environment?

Hello,I have installed Simpana 11.20 on commvault backup server srvbck (on this machine is also installed media agent which serves backup on Tape library)Also I have four virtual machines, vsa-agent (which is installed on Citrix virtualization platform) and another media agent htmmediaagent1 which serves backup virtual machines.The backup is located at the htmmediaagent1 server location.I should add more virtual machines(which are located on different virtualization platforms) for backupon the Tape library. Then another media agent would be used for backup srvbck… My question is:Do I need to have another vsa agent installed (on other virtualization) to back up virtual machines to the Tape library?Do I need to have a separate all agents installed on for each virtualization?Thank you!Best regards,Elizabeta     

Hello everyone,Environment : SP11.23 behind a web proxyI deployed 365 apps through the CVO365CustomConfigHelper app.In the admin console I add the apps created but the status remains in 'Not available',Therefore impossible to add mailboxes to saveThe service account is correct (the account is Global administrator)If you have any idea about the problemRegards

Can someone confirm from Commvault that in the case where DASH fulls are ran along with incrementals and the tape copy is synchronous, does the aux copy job (from disk to tape) essentially make it possible to restore any VM to the point it was last backed up, regardless of whether a full or inc happened last? Meaning it does not have to stitch together all sorts of incs. but rather takes the guesswork out of it so similar to restoring from disk, whenever you tell it to restore “to” those incremental jobs seen in the tape copy are essentially “fulls”? This is what I see when browsing media and comparing full jobs to inc’s - same exact file sizes and content for each VM. I didn’t think the intelligence was in there but at the rate the tapes are being consumed, it does indeed seem like every inc is basically converted to a full before writing to tape.Is that observation correct? If so, that is perfect.thanks

When viewing a list of Client Computers, one available column value is Update Status which will show Needs Update when necessary. And when viewing the client computer properties, the Version tab shows some more info.Previously when I was running 11.13 in Version tab, there was a section that shows Update status and shows a table of various packages and hotfixe updates that need update. But since upgrading to 11.21, that section appears to have been removed. I’ve attached a screenshot showing that section in the older and newer builds of the Version tab.Just wondering, in 11.21 and newer builds, is there an area where we can see the Update status table showing the packages and required hotfixes?

Hi All,SAP for oracle archive log backup goes in pending state getting below error.ORA-19599: block number 9 is corrupt in archived logCan anyone help on this

What type of account and privileges required to deploy the commserve in Azure public cloud?

Hi.. Setup:- Two Client groups.- One client group contains clients- One client group contains Media AgentsA Backup Network using CIDR is configured according to: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=107131.htm The Media Agents have multiple IP addresses in different networks ofc... They have an IP address for the frontend (to which the CS connects to) and one for the Backup Network. Both of these IP addresses are statically assigned.. Clients ofc have multiple IP addresses too... One for the frontend (to which the CS connects to) and one for the Backup Network. The frontend IP is static, but the one for the backup network is a DHCP one. Dumping such a client into the client group sets up the DIPs as expected according to the Network Summary seen on the MAs.

My company has adopted a new standard for service account passwords:  Min 20 characters, must contain uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.  My current password for the root account on the three nodes of the HyperScale on HP reference hardware does not meet the new standard so I have to change it.Does anyone know how to change to root password on these three servers?  Is it just done via the Linux command prompt or is it done through the CommVault GUI somehow?Thanks in advance for any information.Ken 

Hello Guys,I need a help if is necessary create a Proxy to communicate to CommServ or not? 

Hello, I have a question about calculation and usage TB license. We purchase 71 TB and 2000 Vm license. But now we are above our TB limit license. I understanded that all physical should use TB license and VM's should count under Protected Virtual Machines. In our case we using Windows File agent to back-up some of VM's but they counted under TB license. Under the client properties i do see Virtual Machine Properties TAB, that mean that client discovered by VM, but still using TB license. here are some exapler:   

Hello All, I want to identify whether all database backups are included in monthly backup with long term retention. Is there any way to generate a report which contains database nodes with monthly backup status.  Thanks Amit

Hi, I am performing a Commcell Migration and in the source Commcell there is a TapeLibrary that we need to migrate to the target Commcell. My question is if the historical data will be available for restores (i.e tapes will be migrated/re-labled as well).  And if using the option “Allow imported media to be reused on this Commcell” means that append will work once the TapeLibrary is migrated or if it is read only and tapes will be reused (moved to scratch) only once all data on them has expired. Regards, /Patrik

Hello Guys,i need to remove client in the commcell., but get an error, have an another choice to do this?i use “Retire Client”Force this. How can i make this?** This is a Lab and the server is removed of the Vmware.  

I have servers with 10’s of Millions of general user files (.DOC, .XLS) files that are ‘manageable’ using the Standard File Agent method of backup I’ve often considered the Block Level method, but its the idea of ‘another Filter’ Driver in the Windows stack that concerns me:Not due to the quality of the code coming out of CommVault (which is very high) But due to the nature of Anti-Virus drivers, and their updates that often disrupt other filter drivers - with the small potential for a blue screen I’d be interested in any thoughts, comments, experience(The Windows Servers hosting the File Servers are 2016 and 2019 NTFS) Many Thanks

Hello, Is there a way i can assign 1 scratch pool to 2 tape libraries? Kind regards,Joao Amaral
