Hello All,I am from TSM background and when VTL was introduced in TSM, the scratch tapes were not automatically deleted in VTL. Later, RELABELSCRATCH parameter was introduced and it allows to automatically relabel volumes when they are returned to scratch. I remember that specific settings we have do in Backup Exec and HP data Protector  backup software too.→ I want to know whether any similar setting is there in Commvault?More details as per TSM perspective → Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs) maintain volume space allocation after Tivoli Storage Manager has deleted a volume and returned it to a scratch state. The VTL has no knowledge that the volume was deleted and it keeps the full size of the volume allocate. This can be extremely large depending on the devices being emulated. As a result of multiple volumes that return to scratch, the VTL can maintain their allocation size and run out of storage space. Relabel processing on the Tivoli Storag

We're running Commserver 11.22.9.I have a couple of quick question regarding the Restore-CVSQLDatabase PowerShell module.The command I'm testing is as follows (with parameters provided by caller)...$RestoreObject = Get-CVSQLDatabase –ClientName $SourceClient -InstanceName $SourceInstance -Name $SourceDBName  |             Restore-CVSQLDatabase -OutofPlace –OverwriteExisting -DestClientName $DestClient -DestInstanceName $DestInstance -DestDatabaseName $DestDBName -DataFilePath $DestDatafilePath -LogFilePath $DestLogFilePath -ForceIs documentation available that covers all available parameters? The doc site does not cover most of the parameters above. Is there a parameter providing for changing the physical datafile name and the physical logfile name? This functionality is available through the CV Command C

Looking for a NORECOVER option when restoring SQL DB with powershell.Not possible with this cmdlet.Is there another way?

Hi, In case of a ransomware attack (which I hope will never happen), what is the best way to determine what is the last good backup on disk that I have and that is suitable for restore (not encrypted by hackers or contaminated by malware)? Do I need to do a restore in an isolated environment and then run antivirus until I have found the last “good one” ? Or is there a better way? I have heard that malware can already be on servers weeks before the actual attack or whatever. Thanks

Hello, I still have this issue Best regards,Amaral

Hey Commvault Community. We are an MSP provider running a VMWare Cluster to host our Clients.The environment has an NSX so each client has their own network that is managed. Basically from the documentation and my calls with support we don’t have a a solid solution to doing App-Aware backups. I was wondering if anyone else has gotten a similar setup where they have App-Aware backups working?

Still the joy of seeing a commvault restore progress:  while in reality the first one has been completed for 40% and the second one for 10% (getting this from CV logfile on the client!!!)

We have a physical server running CV 9 that we, unfortunately, need to keep running. In an effort to protect ourselves as much as possible, we have P2V’d that server into vmware. When the VM came online, I was able to recover backed-up data from its media agent… but when I tried to backup NEW data to that same media agent, I got an error: “Failed to mount media [name] with mount path [location] on media agent [MA name]. Folder1 already exists. Choose a new mount path.” Or something very like that. The mount paths on the media agent are its drives E, F, and G.That media agent had been working fine on the physical server.I don’t really understand why this problem should exist simply because we’re using a VM now.I’m happy to answer any questions about this machine. I’m hoping someone may have a clue as to why recoveries work, but backups don’t.

Hi, I am doing a CC Migration and need to migrate a few clients at the time. I have done this a few times before but I cannot remember the CS Client turning up in the list of Clients during the import in the target Commcell. I cannot find this described or explained in the documentation. Is this expected behaviour?  I need to be sure there is no impact on the source Commcell that must remain operational as this is a large production Commcell.  Both Commcells are 11.20.67/Patrik

Hello I have a doubt:I have to add a MA server (RX2540 M5) to Commvault, the best way to add is by Commvault(CommCell) or do I do it through the Commvault software on the machine(rx2540)?So, do I have to create the MA database on the server or not?@Mike Struening

Hi,I have a strange behavior with Commvault and Intellisnap. We trigger Netapp Snapshots with Commvault Jobs. These Snaps are not copied to Commvault Library. Reason: We have a 2-Node Netapp Metrocluster in Place and a third Netapp with async Snapmirror syncronisation to keep the History of Snapshots there (so this is kind of a Backup Storage for the Metrocluster).We use Commvault only for triggering Snaps and for restores from these snaps. But Data is kept on Netapp with Snapshots. So this way our Service Desk personell needs only one GUI to restore Backups from Netapp and from all other kind of Backups we store in Commvault Library.Since about 3 Months I observe the following problem: When you browse a Netapp Snapshot Job with Commvault, you don’t see all Folders. When you browse the same Snapshot with Windows Explorer using ~snapshot after the UNC path, everything is there and you can restore it with no problem.Any idea why the Folders are not visible

Hi, EveryoneI have this issue on different servers i tried to uninstall commvault agent on. The issue, the commserve hostname on the Process Manager is “DISABLED”. i had gone to the registry to remove the DISABLED and changed the FLAG to 0. The server could not still be seen by COMMSERVE. I resorted to uninstalling the agent completely from the server, during the process of uninstallation, it writes ‘FAILED TO UNINSTALL FAILED MSI’. How do i solve these problems, please? 

Hi all. Tried to find information about support of Windows server 2022 in Commvault. Anywhere to find the list of supported agents, MediaAgents etc. Or can you confirm that Windows server 2022 is supported by Commvault. Thanks-Anders

Hello, Is office 365 also convered in capacity license or it only covered under Mailbox archiveusage based license?Thanks 

Hi all, We have a following issue. The LTO8 tapes were badly marked with LTO6 barcodes. Then, the tapes have been remarked with right barcode. However, Commvault can not recognise the newly remarked tapes - Commvault says that the barcodes had been already used and tapes were moved to retired group. We tried to perform Discover,  Full Scan (inventory) and Update barcode for the given tape without success. Is there any workaround for the issue? Is there only one way to somehow fix the tapes within the tape library?

Hey everyoneI’ve just moved to a new environment which already had Commvault configured in it.Im trying to make sure all the backups and policies are correct and mainly to understand the product better.I have both Commvault and VCenter in my environment. My VCenter was already configured to interact with the Commvault console.My question is about the both ways i’ve seend a VM being backed up.First way is when I go to Commvault» client computers» <machine> » Virtual Server Firstand second way is when I got to the configured VCenter in Commvault » <vcenter> » Virtual Machine » VMware » defaultBackupSet » content 

Good afternoon allI have DB2 backing up successfully and successfully executed the rollforward recovery within Commvault.the DBA would like to be able to run this from the command line and we used: db2 recover db <database_name> to 2001-12-31-04.00.00 The issue we have is that due to the way we have been routed, we need to specify a media agent for the recovery operation (easy in the GUI), but I can’t see a way to do this in the command line.I’ve saved the XML script that would allow this, but the DBA would prefer to just run a command.Is there anyway I can specify which Media Agent must always be used in this operation?I hope that makes sense?Thanks,Mauro

Hi, I need some advice here… My previous backup administrator disabled the below 2 System Created DDB Space Reclamation and Verification schedule policies, (I presume) due to lack of space on our disk.   Now, with the disk space being OK again, I’m wondering if it’s necessary/beneficial for us to re-activate those 2 policies ? BTW, we are about to move all the backup jobs to a new Commvault Server in the coming months, so is it still worth the effort of re-enabling those 2 policies on this old Commvault Server ? Kelvin
