Hello,I want to test the new v11.40 and deployed the Linux OVA. Is it possible to import the OVA to VMware workstation and do the configuration manually? In vSphere it will be done while imorting the OVA. Thank you and regards, Thomas 

Is there a new update for archiving with latest version 11.40, and does it compatible with hyperscale version (2.2312)

I have been having a strange issue and looking to see if anybody around here has faced this before.MAs WS 2022, OS Firewall disabled, UAC Disabled, no AV Tools.I have a GCP Bucket Library that randomly goes offline in Commvault and when I ran a Cloud Test I get the following error via CloudActivity.log 4012  1b28  07/01 13:46:02 ######## [cvd] CURL error, CURLcode= 35, SSL connect error4012  1b28  07/01 13:46:02 ######## [cvd] Curl Error: 35, POST https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token4012  1b28  07/01 13:46:02 ######## [cvd] CVRESTBaseRemoteFile::SetRESTErrorCode() - Error: Error = 440384012  1b28  07/01 13:46:02 ######## [cvd] CVRFGoogleCloud::SendRequest() - Error: Error = 440384012  1b28  07/01 13:46:02 ######## [cvd] GetRootFolderStatus() - Error: Error = 44038 There are no firewalls rules.

Hi all, I’d like to ask for clarification regarding the upgrade process of a Linux Media Agent in Commvault.When upgrading from an older version (e.g., 11.24) to a newer version such as 11.36.60, is it required to perform the upgrade locally from the Linux server, or is it possible to upgrade the Linux Media Agent remotely through the CommCell Console?Also, when preparing the installation media, is it necessary to download the full Unix media kit (e.g., 11.36_Unix.tar) or is it sufficient to use just the maintenance release package (e.g., 11.36.60_Unix.tar)?I’ve encountered the following message when copying to software cache:Copy hotfixes is skipped for [C:\temp\linux113660\11.36.60_Unix.tar] because the media is not available for it.Any advice or best practices for upgrading a Linux Media Agent would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good day  I am familiar with a Domain Name Change on a Commserve using the Name Management tool.I have Livesync enabled and just want to clarify how that option would work.On both Commserves I will add a DNS entry with the new domain name.When I run the Domain Name change, that change will update instance001 of the Primary Commserve. I assume that the 3rd page of the wizard will show me instance002 of the Primary and Secondary Commserves and I can push the update there.How would I update the domain name on instance001 on the Secondary Commserve? Does Livesync take care of that or is there another option I should use?I hope that makes sense.

hi guys, we have about 20 brand new LTO9 media (calibrated) inserted int Quantum scalar i3 library, which is directly connected to the media agent (hyperscale node x with os rocky) , about 10 tapes had assigned a - Media exceeded the "No. of Media Label Errors" threshold. , when i click to media verification i have a warning message - media in library does not have a valid media label which means that is was not written to by this product.any solution ?    

Hi. I’ve tried a bunch of report to get a detailed report of storage usage. I’ve used this one:Estimated Storage Utilization By Policy Copies or DDBs or Libraries. I know it’s an estimate, but if I add up all the used space for every client, there’s about 30% difference between the storage usage according to CV vs the report. CV says 490TB, reports says 330TB. I’ve tried a couple other reports and they all have the same 330TB approx.Since it’s cloud storage, the $$$ involve here is significant

Hi All, we are running SP32 envoirmoemnt and want to migrate to SP40. We installed an new windws server 2022 and downloaded the cv sofwtare but we cant install the commserve componenente.

Hi.I am planning for the migration of TSM (Spectrum Project) backup data to Commvault.I have a couple of questions around the configuration:1. For backup data from Linux TSM clients, a Linux Commvault Proxy/Staging client is required?2. Same as above for Windows TSM clients, then a Windows Commvault Proxy/Staging client is required?3. Do these staging clients need the Web Server and Index Store package installed or can this run centrally from the CommServe?Please add anything that should be considered.  Thanks.Ignes 

Dear Commvault Team,Good day. I hope this message finds you well.We kindly request your assistance in identifying the path or location where the following procedure should be executed:Recommended Action (Test First in Non-Production):To address this, you can configure an additional setting on the VSA proxy to disable snapshot verification. This may help bypass snapshot failures and allow the backup to complete.Please follow these steps in a test environment:Add the following additional setting on the VSA Proxy:The key is not added to the library "bVerifySnapshotCreationAllowed", so it won't appear in the search. However, you can add it manually.Name: bVerifySnapshotCreationAllowed Category: VirtualServer Type: Integer Value: 0Restart Commvault services on the VSA proxy after applying the setting.Monitor the next backup job to verify behavior.If the test is successful, you may proceed to apply the same in production.I will review the logs for Job ID 117296 and provide further updates or

Hi Commvault users, Regarding backing up VSA’s (proxy servers) that are used for VM image backups. Do you recommend backing them up ? if so Daily, weekly etc.Being just proxy servers I’m guessing there is no real need to back them up if you can build a new one quickly. Any advice is welcomed.  Kind RegardsTerry   

Dear Team, We are planning to upgrade to a new CommCell server with an updated Commvault license.The current CommServe is a physical server running on Windows Server 2012, functioning as both the CommServe (CS) and Media Agent (MA) and additionally the commvault license End of support.As part of the upgrade: We will deploy a new virtual machine with the latest Windows OS to serve as a dedicated CommServe. A new physical server running Oracle Linux OS will be provisioned as the Media Agent. Kindly advise us on the best practices for deploying and upgrading the backup infrastructure in this scenario.Thank you for your support. Regards,Mani D 

I have 2 FREL’s in my environment and we use this FREL as VSA proxies as well to share the load between other 2 VSA proxies. After upgrading this FREL’s to 11.28.107, we see VM backups fails with the error “The virtual machine [] did not pass the disk size validation. If this issue persists, please contact your vendor support hotline”.I have VCenter level configuration for VM backups and I have 7-8 Subclient and each subclient have 15-20 VM’s in it.When the backup get triggers for this subclient as per schedule, at least 6-7 VM’s fails with this disk size validation issue. Once this VM’s fails, I re trigger them one by one and backup completes without and issue.Can someone tell me, what can be done to resolve this issue completely.

Heyho,a customer is using lotus.In 2017, the backup was set up for this and we have a full backup in the transaction log subclient.Now it is not possible to trigger a full backup of the subclient and the command centre constantly reports that the subclient needs a full backup.Is there a way to deactivate the message for the subclient in the Command Centre? 

Hello all,I’m looking into support for CEPH, namely the block access (RDB) because we’re considering replacing the current SAN arrays with CEPH distributed storage and backup is of course a big segment of it.But I cannot find much information on integration with CEPH, e.g. support for IntelliSnap feature which is well supported for NetApp/Pure etc, nor which DB agents are supported with CEPH as block storage. Has anyone played around with this idea? Are there any internal reports or (POC) reviews that could shed some light on this?Thanks in advance! Regards,Igor

Anyone else experiencing the problem with Office 365 when trying to run a restore where the options were recently changed? Exchange restore I can only restore the items to the original mailbox or I need to pick another mailbox. I no longer have the option to restore to PST file. SharePoint, I can only restore to the same site or I need to pick another site. The option to restore to disk is no longer available and the same goes for OneDrive. I don’t like the limited options now for restoring Office 365 files. 

We're encountering a recurring issue related to CBT (Changed Block Tracking) in our VMware environment with Commvault (version 11.36).After incremental backups fail or complete with CBT-related warnings, any subsequent restore of the affected VMs results in machines that fail to boot — only a black screen with a blinking cursor is shown after powering them on.In addition, Guest File Restores are no longer possible for these VMs. Attempting to browse the file system results in the following error:Failed to get items for volume The original VMs continue to run and restart without any issues.The problem affects multiple servers, not just a single system.The issue is resolved after performing a full backup — restores (including guest file restores) then work as expected again.Example error message during backup:Error code: [19:857]  Description: SRV-03\SRV-03.vmdk Warning change tracking verification failed,               SRV-03\SRV-03_1.vmdk Warning change tracking verification failed  So

When backing up from Oracle RAC, Commvault selects an available server by default.Is it possible to select a specific server for backup? 

Hi Everyone,I’ve noticed a significant increase in the size of DDB over the past few days. About three days ago, each partition of the DDB was approximately 115 GB, and as of today, all four partitions under the same engine have grown to 145 GB each.Could you please help me understand the potential reasons for this growth? What areas should I check, and are there any recommended troubleshooting steps to investigate. 

Hi, I am trying to restore a vmdk and attach it to the VM. Was able to do it successfully on the web console.  I also downloaded the EQUIVALENT API.  How do I use the “EQUIVALENT API” for future restores  without using the web console ?I (preferably) want to use REST, but I couldn’t find the endpoint to run this restore. Does anybody know what the endpoint is ? Thanks in adavance!
