Hi everyone,I'm facing a recurring issue when restoring a virtual machine (VMware) using Commvault version 11.32.76. The restore consistently fails at the same point, regardless of different configurations and attempts.🛠️ Environment Overview Restore type: Full Virtual Machine Restore Transport modes tested: NBD and NBD SSL MediaAgent: properly installed, communicates with vCenter and ESXi Destination datastore: accessible and has sufficient free space VM progress: restore completes up to 92% (~84 GB of ~91 GB total) Permissions & services: confirmed running correctly ❌ Error Behavior Restore job starts and progresses normally .vmdk files are successfully created and opened in the target datastore Failure occurs at the final phase, with the status:   RestoreVMData failed yet no specific write/read/seek errors are logged  Relevant log snippet (vsrst.log)RestoreVMData failed.

I’m unable to backup SharePoint Online.Failed to validate any of the configured Azure Apps against the SharePoint Tenant Admin site. 1) Please verify the SharePoint Tenant Admin Url. 2) Please check the credentials and permissions for the configured apps. 3) Please ensure Custom App authentication is enabled on the SharePoint tenant (https://kb.commvault.com/article/63803). [Not available]I’ve configured this many time before, but apparently it recently became impossible to enable customAppAuthentication on new tenants.Set-SPOTenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $falseSet-SPOTenant : Updating DisableCustomAppAuthentication is not allowed anymore for new tenants. This is part of Azure ACS feature retirement plan as outlined in https://aka.ms/retirement/acs/support.The customAppAuthentication is still described as a prerequisite in the Commvault documentation, even for version 11.38:https://documentation.commvault.com/11.38/essential/complete_office_365_guided_setup_for_sharepoint_onli

Good afternoon,I completed the Cyber ​​Resiliency course on the Readiverse portal and took the exam on 04/20, but I still haven't received the certificate or badge from Credly.Can anyone help?

I need to mark VM backup jobs with a quiescing error to be completed with the error job?

Hi folks,I'm building a custom report using SQL. The final output should look more or less like the “Backup Job Summary” report in Command Center. However, I'm running into issues with the Retention column.I’ve figured out how to pull the standard retention using the following query: SELECT    J.jobId,    AR.retentionDaysFROM JMJobDataStats JINNER JOIN archGroup AG ON J.archGrpId = AG.idINNER JOIN archAgingRule AR ON J.archGrpCopyId = AR.copyId The problem is that this query doesn’t return jobs that have extended retention. I’m aware of the archAgingRuleExtended table and tried selecting from both tables and then taking the greater value — but this approach doesn’t seem to work.I also tried applying the extended retention only when JMJobDataStats.retentionFlags > 0, but that didn’t help either 🙁I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t figure out what exactly. There must be some indication that a particular job is using extended retention, but I haven’t been able to find

Hello All,We have Red Hat Openshift Kubernetes Clusters. I have two question1-we have some apps without PODs. Is there a way to skip them.2- We have some namespaces. They have no any object installed in. They are also failing during backup. Is there a way skip this error ?

Hi:Which is the best way to migrate from Commvault to Commvault Cloud? (Metallic) I have been told that there is not an utility to do it and that should be a restore and backup process just like as going from another software to Commvault, but I guess that a lot of customers may have the same requirement.Any thoughts will be appreciated.Best,Paul

 Hi team,Can I back up an OPENVMS v7.3-2 (AlphaServer ES47) system with CommVault? or is there a backup strategy?is it not supported? on the dopcumentation https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/openvms_file_system_agent_system_requirements.html mention only HP OpenVMS 8.3, and 8.4. regards, 

We often note that file indexing jobs go to pending state with message:“Set pending cause [All of the backup agents are at the stream limit.]”Other jobs like backups and auxiliary copies are running fine at the same time. I have not found any setting which would change the number of streams used for file indexing.Any hint is highly appreciated.

Hello!While playing in my home lab, with some limited functions i have decided to play a little with Network Interfaces ip configurations etc. Since i have switched networks and addresation Commvault is not longe able to work  In logs while trying to reinstal packages i do have this error: I have changed SQL configuration in this place - here is a new address.Commvault is installed Localy on same server as SQL. I have no access to WebConsole, CommandCenter or even Commcell Console. Is there any config file, or reg entry where i can check how CV wants to connect to by DB?I do not have much experience with SQL DBs. Im running on 11.36

Is there a way to Restrict Commcell Console and Command Center access only from the Jump servers IPs without affecting the existing backup operations? We have a multiple vCenter that is communicating with commvault to backup the VMs. If I create a firewall rule that will only allow access from the Jumpservers, would that affect the backup/restore operations? TIA!

I keep getting these job failures and i have gone through everything that i can think of to resolve this. does any one have any ideas or ways to fix this issue?   One or more volumes are not supported for VSS Shadow Copies. Possible causes: - Unsupported volume or file system type (eg. FAT, FAT32). - Unsupported volume size (over 64TB). - Remote or network volume not accessible. - Other, check the logs for more details.  

Hello, I am still tryin to get used to server plans. Consider the following requirements:weekly full backups on Fridaysincrementals on the other days of the week If I create a server plan, with a 1 week retention, I understand it will run a synth full every 7 days. but when? will it be on Friday? Can I control this via backup window? If I do not have a full backup windows defined in the plan, synth fulls are controlled by the backup window as the incrementals? Regards,Pedro

Hello Team,I would like to know all the cyber security features of Commvault backup solution for a tender I’m working on. Please do not just share the online links but I need an expert who has designed / implemented all the security features to give me a short summary on how to achieve following: In-line Malware Scan → How to achieve this while taking the backup from source?    In our case we are using two tier of storage Short-term for daily & weekly backup (Commvault HSX Nodes) & Long-Term for monthy and yearly (Object based storage or Tape) → What are the different and most effective way to achieve air-gap for both the storage tier.    Immutability is required for both short-term and long-term (planning to go with Commvault software immutability, since the hardware immutability increases the storage size too much) → What is the best practices to achieve immutability for two tier of storage.   HSX nodes - How to completely protect the HSX nodes? Cause if anyone gain access to

I am looking for stencils that can be imported into draw.io to build backup diagrams and environments for documentation purpose.Is this something Commvault has available to customer? If so, can you send a link for download please?Thank you

HelloDoes anyone know how to disable the automatic startup of the Hedvig services after a single node reboot? Disabling the CV services seems straightforward:But will this also prevent the Hedvig services from starting up automatically, or do I need to disable each of them individually?hedvigclogchk.service  hedvigdthrottle.service  hedvigfsc.service   hedvighblock.service hedvighealthcheck.service    hedvighpod.service  hedvigmntcheck.service   hedvigpages.service  hedvigswatch.service     Is there perhaps a cleaner or more efficient way to achieve this? ThanksMichael

Hi All, we have some vms with shared volumes. This is not support we know. But we have one question. We added scsi filter for all shared discs in the subclient filters so that only the local attched discs are backuped. But we still getting this event: scsi-1 Warning volume groups are not supported The job is shown as completed. Do you have an idear why the exclude is not working and the event vomes up ?

Hello,Following our upgrade to version 11.36.46 (from 11.32), we have observed an unusual behavior during the browse and restore operations. The file systems are being randomly mounted either on the configured FRE or on one of the HSX nodes designated for server backup.Since the HSX nodes are still running on RHEL 7.9, the browse operation fails for clients that are on RHEL 8.*.We likely wouldn't have noticed this issue if the browse operation hadn't failed. Is this the expecetd way the system operates ?   Thanks

I see that  update_subclient_filters_template.xml allows for specific VMs to be added to filters but can it also be used to remove them?  I tried changing  -vmFilterOperationType ADD to DEL or REM but no luck.

i have the commvault  v11.28.83. i want delete old backup from disk manually because of i have not empy space on my storage disk. the agging option is finishing works, but the disk space is not emptied.how to do it?

I have created a new subclient policy but instead of using this default subclient i created a new sublclient to take backup of only selected extensions and assigned to all 100 laptops.now when i created a schedule policy and assigned schedule policy to a laptop client group .the backup us being run for the default subclient as well as the new one which i created.i have disbabled default subclient from policy by “activity control” but still the schedule policy executes job for both and its causing lot of failures in my job and confusion during restore.raised case with support ( 250331-339) but they are not able to do anything from last 10 days. 

Hi, I’m having problems with a Commvault Oracle Data Guard configuration. I have a Data Guard pseudo-client which handles the backups for the environment which has 2 databases on 2 different hosts: dbhost01 and dbhost02. It is configured to run backups on the primary node. A few days ago a database failover happened (from dbhost01 to dbhost02), it was successful, so no issues with that, currently the primary database is on dbhost02.My problem is that since the failover the commvault backups cannot run, because it is still trying to reach the database on dbhost01 (which is shutdown). It sees that the database on dbhost02 is open, but does not even try to start the backup there.What is the correct way to configure this? The whole point of having this Data Guard configuration in Commvault is that we don’t have to modify anything in commvault when a failover/switchover happen, so I’m looking for a solution that provides this. Thank you for any tips, solutions, etc. Daniel

Hello,Lately we’ve been seeing the “Error Code: [17:179]Description: Following errors occurred while scanning: [Failed to scan the content]” popping up on some of our Windows file system backups, causing them to fail. The subclients of said servers have no content specified, they backup everything. I’ve also tested with only backing up drive C:\ but the same error appears. When I check for the VSS state they all appear “Stable” and show “No error”. I’ve also tried running backup without the “System State” option just in case. Looking at the logs, I can’t really see a real reason as to why this would happen. Has anyone faced this issue before? What else can be attempted to fix this? Thank you for your help and have a nice day. Best regards,

Hi Team,I have a question.We have one file server and the server size around 25 TB. We have created 2 backup set for daily and monthly. Because the adhoc monthly full backup takes around 25 days to complete so we want incre data on the time so created another backup set called Adhoc_daily  and run daily on different storage policy. Both are running to Tape library directly. But the incre backup cycle considering old full for reference. So it there any other way to reconfigure this backup.
