Hi All,I’m running 11.40.42 version and while restoring VM to OLVM 4.4.10.7 (RHV) I’ve encounter two issues:target VLAN has not been set correctly. Orginal VLAN has been preserved.  cross-hypervisor restore failed due to problems with attaching disk to VM. It looks like new VM does have Other OS type set instead of Oracle Linux which prevents attaching disk in SCSI mode. I’ve set additional attribute to not delete disk after failed restore and was able to create VM, attach disk and start VMI’m wondering if those two issues are releated and commvault has problems with restoring proper metadata? Anyone encounter similar issues?  

 Hi All. We have upgraded from 11.32 to 11.42.90 and after the upgrade the “install windows update” workflow is not working anymore, it gives the below error: Anyone knows why this is happening? Thanks-Anders  

Good day to you all,I am experiencing with our Dell EMC PowerScale NDMP IntelliSnap backups across our two CommCell environments.Context: We have two CommCell environments configured to back up Dell EMC PowerScale shares to a HyperScale target. Currently, the shares are split between the two CommCells.The Issue: While the snapshot backups for both CommCells complete successfully, the Backup Copy job for CommCell 1 is consistently failing.Upon investigation, we identified that for CommCell 1, the data movement from the PowerScale server to the MediaAgent is defaulting to a higher-end port/interface instead of the expected 10000 port. Interestingly, CommCell 2 is configured similarly and is performing its backup copies without any issues. Kindly advise on this. Robert.R

Hi, I’m chatting with Commvault chat bot and I have a question. Can someone explain what happens in the following case:I have a VM group that is assigned to Storage Policy X with deduplication, and incremental backups are running there with a synthetic full on Sundays. I then change the VM group’s Storage Policy to Y with a new deduplication database. The chat says that a new full backup is not triggered automatically—instead, incremental backups continue on the new storage.“The practical consequences for VM groups (virtualization, Index V2)—such as no automatic full, and the inability to restore from incrementals after a policy change—are documented mainly in Knowledge Base articles (KB62892, KB62688) and action_items.”However, those incrementals cannot be restored because the new database does not have a physical (true) full backup, and a synthetic full also cannot be created because there is no full.So why isn’t there any warning or information when changing the Storage Policy or Pl

Dear Team,We would like to know how to raise a support ticket for a general query that is not related to any backup failure.We attempted to create a ticket; however, the portal requires the Job ID and Error Code fields to be filled in, which are not available for general queries or configuration-related questions.Could you please advise on the correct procedure for raising a ticket in such cases?Thank you for your assistance.

We are currently using Configuration policies for Exchange online. It ignores the Retention time of the storage policy. I want to start using the retention settings of the Storage policy again.   Is there a reason that you would use Configuration Policies for Exchange? Can you not just use te retention time of a plan or storage policy? 

Hi,I'm curious about your standards and strategies for schedules/schedules policies names (I'm not using plans). I saw this topic: What is your naming convention for schedule policies? | Community but maybe someone has fresh idea.We have VMs, DBs, FS and more. We have about 80 schedules. For a long time we were using something like: DC1-VM-I_I_I_I_I_F_N-21:00 which means: Location, VMs, Mon-Fri Incremental, Saturday Full, Sunday none, 9 PM another example: MSSQL-N_SF_N_SF_N_F_N-21:00-LOGS_4H - I think it's clear (SF - Synthetic Fulls, makes no sense here but it’s just example) But in reality, including DC name doesn't make much sense. There was also no good way to include the incremental backup time if it was different from the full backup time. And it turned out to be better to keep logs in separate schedule policy because it's easier to resue.Now I'm thinking about something like: VM / Inc Daily / Full Sat 21:00 MSSQL / SFull Tue, Thu / Full Sat 21:00 MSSQL / Logs 4h I think it's

Is there a plan to get public rest api access to arlie.commvault.com ?I need to corelate my own exctraction tool to propose local admin some troubleshooting steps.thx ! 

We've been using CommVault for several years and have consistently been able to perform backups and restores without any issues. Recently, however, I received a request to restore a file located on a .vhdx drive.To retrieve the file, I attempted to use the Guest Files and Folders restore option, which I have successfully used in the past. When I select View Content, the system begins loading the data but then fails and displays the following error message:We are currently running on CommVault version 11.36.102 (We recently upgraded CommVault from 11.36.80 because of this issue and we thought a fix had been implemented in .84 - but this might be different to what we thought)Has anyone encountered this issue before or can suggest any troubleshooting steps?Thanks in advance.

Hello Dear AWS Team,Did you have plan the support of TAG in AURORA POSTGRESQL  ? AWS tag is available for many worlkioad, is there unknow limitation to do not have them on AURORA ?Thx

We recently migrated our Commserve to a new physical server and now several weeks post migration we are getting errors on about 90% of our synthetic fulls when they reach the end of the job, they will continously run at 99% but looking at the synth full logs we see alot of this:30236 5280 06/05 12:34:18 13071395 SdtDecryption::ProcessBuffer:218 Cannot decrypt data for afid [28434509]. cur_afid [28725857], orig_afid [28434509]30236 574c 06/05 12:34:18 13071395 SdtDecryption::ProcessBuffer:218 Cannot decrypt data for afid [28434509]. cur_afid [28725857], orig_afid [28434509] The event viewer gives the generic Unable to communicate with Media Agent or Pipeline error. Opened a high priority ticket about a month ago and we’re being told we need to seal every DDB store in our environment and re-base. We have several thousands of VMs with some over 60TB in size. I feel like re-basing is going to take weeks, and we may not even have enough storage to do it. Any other thoughts or ideas would be

I got the following error when backup a vm:Error code: [19:2601]Description: The job is pending because all access nodes to launch the job are overloaded.Source: cms01109c1us02, Process: JobManagerI have no idea what the error mean.

Hi,How may I know if my Aix environment is supported with DataDomain DDBoost over fiber?  Commvault Version: 11.40 release 22Commvault Media Agent SO: AIX 7.1/7.2 We have a large Oracle DB with 50Tb that we would like to protect.

Our Commvault disk library has Storage Compliance Lock enabled. The retention setting is 7 days and 1 cycle. How can we delete the final backups of servers that have been decommissioned and will no longer be backed up? Will these backups occupy space in my disk library forever? IS there a way do delete the jobs ?

Hi all. Is it possible to backup PostgreSQL via a Windows cluster? The scenario is, that a team wants to install PostgreSQL on two Windows servers running a Windows cluster with shared disks, like you do with MSSQL. They want to put the log and data on a shared drive that runs on the active server and this drive can fail over to the passive node.  Is this scenario even possible to backup or is only possible with the PostgreSQL cluster client (pseudo-client) with a master and a standby server? Regards-Anders

Hi all, I’m planning on replacing our MA server, and I just needed a sanity check on the Replace Media Agent App and Move Mount Point processes. The old MA has a Disk Library with 7 mounth paths, most of which are iSCSI LUNs from a couple different arrays. The new MA will have much more direct attached storage, so I’m plannin on just 2 mount points. If I run the Replace Meda Agent App process, and let it run the Move Mount Point process, am I able to consolidate the old mount paths down to 2 during this process, and specify the destination of each of the source MP’s?  I assumed that I can because the Move Mount Path function in the Commcell console offers me the option to move it to an existing device, however the documentation says: The move mount path operation overwrites the destination mount path. Therefore, ensure that the destination mount path is an empty folder.  Can anyone offer any clafification?Thanks!

What is the best practice when it comes to the number of buckets to create when using  Cloud Library using S3 Netapp Storagegrid?Is there a performance gain/benefit of using more than 1 S3 Netapp Storagegrid bucket in one Cloud Library using S3. Appreciate any thoughts, suggestions or even any documentations available online which can explain the pros and cons

Hi, I want to enable hardware encryption in the copies  to the tape library. I have enabled hardware encryption from Control Panel - System - Encryption - Hardware Encryption - use hardware encryption - No Access. However when I try to enable hardware encryption in the storage policy level, the option is greyed out. Kindly advise how to enable it on the Storage Policy level. Im running Commvault 11.40 and the tape library is a Fujitsu Eternus LT40 S2 with HP Ultrium 6 tape drive.

NetApp is currently selling the successor to the ASA (SAN Only), the ASAr2, at an attractive price. Basically, it is a system from the ONTAP family, like the FAS or AFF systems. Unfortunately, the API has changed considerably, and Commvault does not yet support the ASAr2 API. I’ve heard that integration is being worked on. Is there a timeline for this?We have a few projects where Commvault (new customer) and NetApp would be a good combination.

Hi guys, I installed Hyperscale Edge version 11.40.12, while my CommServe is version 11.40.47 and the client is 11.40.47.Can I update Hyperscale Edge manually using the CommServe installation file which is a full media kit so that all versions are the same?

My goal is to install Commvault on a standalone server and back up the server's own data to tape.During the installation, under Server Information, when I enter IP:8403, I receive the following error:"The server is not running on the remote computer."This is the first-time installation of Commvault on this server, and it will be configured as both the CommServe and MediaAgent.

Hi,I have some questions about the workflow for upgrading: VSA V1 to V2 Migration Workflow.In VMWare we have not only the defaultbackupSet but also many other backupSets where we sort different subclients.As far as I’ve understood, the backupSets are being considered legacy, and VMGroup can only be created it in the default backupset.What will happen to all of the subclients in the other backupsets under the client if I would run this workflow?Would they all go into the defaultBackupSet or would the new client maintain the structure of the backupSets and now VMGroups, even though they are not the defaultBackupSet. Does anyone have any experience with this? Kind regards,Daniel
