I am attempting to create a workflow to disable snmp monitoring on a particular alert.I have successfully used the http-client custom activity to toggle the alert enable/disable.My issue is that I am attempting to email the http response from the activity, but I cannot figure out how to pass the response from the activity to the next downstream activity.the docs say… “7. Click the Outputs to retrieve the output from the XML operation activity...” Anybody have any insight or example that utilize the http-client activity in a multistep workflow? Thanks, Ken

Hi to all,I can't set a storage policy with more than 50 streams. I currently have a version 11 SP20 installed.I have tried with various types of libraries (tape, disk library). The commserve has been updated several times over the years (I think the oldest was a SP8).

Hello,I am trying to make an install in decoupled mode on a linux machine, I have created the custom package and installed the RPM.then I ve used this command to register the client on commserve: sudo /opt/commvault/Base/SIMCallWrapper -OpType 1000 -CSHost commserve.customer.com -clientname <vmclientname> -ClientHostName <vmClientHostName.customer.com> -authcode 123DGFJEJ -output /tmp/insatlcv.xml -restartServicesWhen I compare a manuel vs decoupled installation,  here is what I have : Manual Install[ General ] Version = 11.22.13 Media Revision = 871 CommServe Host Name = cs01.customer.com CommServe Client Name = commserve Home Directory = /opt/commvault/Base from a machine installed in decouple mode [ General ] Version = 11.22.13 Media Revision = 871 CommServe Host Name = commserve.customer.com CommServe Client Name = commserveThe client is registered correctly in the commserve but some things are different do you know why I don’t have the same informations from the manual

In a standard Backup Set/Subclient (File System agent), when you check Extend storage policy retention (Subclient Properties of… > Retention tab), it is possible to select one of two available modes: Job Based Retention and Object Based Retention. With Job Based Retention mode, there are some recommendations about archiving. With Object Based Retention, there is no recommendations about archiving, but the documentation cites stubs (Stubs are files that point to backed up and archived data). On Commvault world data functions as both a backup and archive copy, but It seems to me that both modes are related to File Archiving function, not traditional backup. Why are they here? I'm talking about a standard Backup Set, not an Archive Set.

I have configured an app-aware  (SQL) VM backup and the initial job ran successfully and pushed out the required agent to the VM and subsequently backed up the SQL instance however the schedules initially assigned to VM look to have been applied to SQL subclient which causes the job to fail on next run and every run thereafter as the application is trying to be backed up both as an app-aware VM but also a standalone SQL backup.Has anyone else had this issue with SQL app-aware backups?

Hi,I’ve needed to delete - create again the DDB and I need to use same partition paths as they were used before (disk was formatted). Currently I cannot create a DDB as I have message: “The specified mount path os already in use”Well I know that it’s described here:http://kb.commvault.com/DD0051 But do you know somebody if there is way to force cleanup and do not wait 24h ? The data aging is not doing the trick. Thanks

I have a customer who upgraded 4 of their Hyper-V hosts to new hardware (2 sockets per host).I installed the VSA on the 4 new hosts and released the licenses on the old hosts.2 of the hosts have not reported back to the Commserve indicating they’ve been released. I retired the clients, with no change.I restarted Commserve Services and ran a Data Aging Job.The license summary report is still reporting over use.

Hi! I have a subclient that I use for ad hoc testing of backup/restore etc. Today I wanted to test the outcome for various job alert settings since the upgrade from 11.20 to 11.22 brought about some unwelcome changes to the emailed alerts. Rather than make a change to the job alerts for the many already defined jobs/schedules and then having to wait for the normal job run to see the result I figured it would be better/faster/less disturbing to test the alerts on an ad hoc subclient - one without any schedule.To perform the test the steps I followed were :Right click the subclient and select “Backup” In the “Backup Options” dialog box click the “Advanced” button In the “Advanced Backup Options” dialog box click the “Alert” tab There is no alert defined so click the “Add Alert” button Define the alert as you wish. I gave the alert a “Display Name” of “Ad Hoc Test” Complete the backup and observe the results.So the first part of the process is quite straightforward. The problem arises whe

Hi Just like a ‘Plan’ can be created as a base plan and additional plans ‘derived’ from the base plan….Does/ will  such a concept exist for VM Groups The idea ofHaving a ‘base’ VM Group creating multiple derivative VM groups, with partial optional overrides   then having the derivative VM groups ‘update’ when the base group is updatedThis would be incredibly usefulPS: There are mechanisms to come up with a ‘coded’ solution to this (and there is a subclient cloning process), but having a solution within the Admin Center would be ideal       

Hello,I have a doubt in setting up DDB Creation in awindows cluster environment.2 physical servers with installed media agent and a virtual storage (starwind)1) can the DDB be on the storage shared by the nodes of the cluster?2) Can I use only 1 DDB for all nodes (MA) or should I have a DDB for each MA?

Hi,I would like to know if it’s possible to isolate VMs from indexing (option File Indexing for Advanced reporting an search in Command Center ) in VM group or it’s necessary to create a specific group of VMs with no inexing option.Regards.

Hi, We have 2 Windows Commvault Servers.Previously, none of them could do a LiveBrowse for Windows VMs during a Guest Files and Folders restore task. After we put Commvault exclusion on our anti-virus (SentinelOne), and turned off Firewalls on them, the LiveBrowse is now working on Windows Commvault Server No.1, but still not working on the Windows Commvault Server No.2 which always fails with LiveBrowse error code -6, failed to initialize VM disks. The 2 Servers are very similar except thatThe No. 1 uses local disks as disk library, whereas No. 1 uses a NAS as disk library. The No. 1 Commvault is 11.20, whereas No. 2 Commvault version is 11.14Just to see if the NAS is the issue for No. 2, I’ve setup a local drive as disk library for a test backup, followed by a LiveBrowse restore, but failed again with the same error message. I’ve logged a case with Commvault support, but the engineer couldn’t figure out why either so he has decided to escalate the case, however, I was told to upgrade

Firstly, does Commvault (11.22) support Virtualise Me (physical to VMware. Conversion)What tasks are being performed in the post virtualise phase - job is stuck at 53% with no errors?

Hi All,We are completely installing Commvault setup from scratch for 100+ sites. I am looking your assistance to generate the report as per mgmt report.I need to populate the data in CommServe Dashboard only for migrated clients/media agents. For example I have one remote site and the report related the sites such as Disk Library growth Media Agent load, SLA , Job Summary and etc.. should be included in the commvault reports after migration. As per my understanding, I can exclude particular client  or group from SLA report. But can I include only particular group in the report? Thanks,Mani
