Hi, Is it possible (or is it on the roadmap) to use github app credential during github authentication? As far i understand only personal access key is possible now?  I was told by our github team that using app credentials is a good practice and allow us to use higher API limits.  Thanks.  

We are trying to back up a two-node MongoDB cluster. The discovery of nodes is successful and we are using the Nimble snap engine. After triggering the backup, we are able to see the snapshot being created on the storage. However, Commvault is unable to mount the snapshot to the host, due to the error mentioned. We tried mounting the snapshot manually to the host, but it failed with the same error. The iSCSI service on the nodes is active. -- “Failed to mount the Snapshot to the host - Failed to initialize CviSCSI library for iSCSI operation” 

We are currently testing Postgres backup and restore in the context of the new Patroni cluster support in CV 11.36.While testing we encountered multiple issues which seem to relate to expected configuration settings on the Postgres server.For example when we tried a full cluster restore (3 node Patroni cluster) with the option to restore all nodes we get an “Error Code: [19:1109]” (we have case 250331-524 open for this already).Another issue we currently have is when trying to restore out-of-place to another cluster-client we get:Error Code: [94:92]Description: Configuration Files check failed on Node [DE9899SP9]. Please check pre-requisites for Full Cluster Restore. Error: [One or more errors occurred while processing the request. (ERROR_ERRORS_ENCOUNTERED.774), PostgreSQL configuration files are missing on node 'DE9899SP9'. Please check prerequisites in documentation for Restore to the entire cluster. (W32.774)] So regarding these errors and some other we got while testing I have the

Both Commvault AI and Commvault human support (human support seems to use copy-paste from their own AI) say that we need to re-add the Azure SSO configuration in order to renew the SAML certificate.This seems very inconvenient. This means I need to ask the customer to complete all the steps to create a new application with the correct details once more.Is there no way to renew the certificate and upload it to the existing Azure SSO config in Commvault?

Hello,We have several Pure arrays at our primary Data Center that regularly create and replicate snapshots to our Pure arrays at our DR site. I would like to use these snapshots as recovery points for Commvault so I would like Commvault to manage these snapshots. We would like to run snapshots every 4 hours or so and write 1 to disk every 24 hours. I would love to get input on how others have set this up. I’m considering doing this on the Storage Policy level but am not sure that’s the way to go.

During a case a question comes up. A big VSA environment with more than ten subclients. Template VMs should generally be filtered out.That is easy in Commcell Console. I set the filter on backup set level and this works for all subclients.How can I do this in Command Center?Setting all VSA filters on subclient level seems to be a step backwards in product development. I found topics in community but it does not fit for me.Thanks in AdvanceJoerg

Hello,According to this KB:https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/complete_guided_setup_for_active_directory.htmlWhen I click on configure, I get the error message, “User does not have access to the page.” And then the command center stopped responding.Configuring from the CommCell console is ok.The version is 11.36.52. The user is the admin.  

When configuring authentication for a bucket using oauth, Commvault provides straight forward steps however when looking into gcloud parameters, what should be entered in the "REDIRECT_URI" https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/workforce-manage-oauth-app#create gcloud iam oauth-clients create APP_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID \    --project=PROJECT_ID \    --location=global \    --client-type="CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT" \    --display-name="My OAuth application" \    --description="An application registration for MyApp" \    --allowed-scopes="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform" \    --allowed-redirect-uris="REDIRECT_URI" \    --allowed-grant-types="authorization_code_grant" Thanks

We’ve done a big hardware refresh and are migrating all our VMs to a new Virtual Center. Our backup environment is not changing at this time so all the storage, media agents etc are all set up and happy already.I thought I’d take the opportunity to “modernise” our backups at the same time, starting to use plans instead of storage and schedule policies and hopefully get to the point where we can largely leave the java console behind and use the Command Center. Our Commvault environment is very mature (20 years) and a lot of work has gone into keeping it in good shape over the years, through many upgrades and hardware refreshes. It works beautifully. So I am pretty old school and very familiar with the old console. Not loving plans if I’m honest, we have two on prem blocks of storage and one cloud library, and we tend to keep everything on the same retention periods. We do use a lot of different schedules so I’m finding the concept where it creates a whole new storage policy for every sc

Hi, We have a customer that is using Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery SaaS for Active Directory (Metallic MTL-AD-USR) and is interested in the recovery of the Active Directory Forest. We have read that there is a new subscription (Commvault Cloud for Active Directory Enterprise Edition) but we do not see it in the Price List.  Does the customer have to upgrade from Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery SaaS for Active Directory to Commvault Cloud for Active Directory Enterprise Edition or add this new subscription or replace Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery SaaS for Active Directory with Commvault Cloud for Active Directory Enterprise Edition?Thanks,Paul

Does a return code “0” mean that the backup was completed successfully and no files have been skipped? Is there an official link that can confirm these codes? Asking because we want to use the status code “0” in an automated process.

we are having windows always on HA sql cluster , currently we are taking fileand app consitent vm backup and seperatly agent based sql backup . now we need to make DR for this in our azure site which is the better option !> VM replication , do i need to change the vm backup method to app aware ? in this case only primary node will be converted as app aware right ? i dont want to run the vm backup every 2 hour , instead i need to run log backup , can i just schedule log backup for same client  will this get replicated once the log backup completed ? 2 > warm sql replicaton  which one is recommended way 

We have over 100 systems in our CommCell computer group and most of the systems are backing up just fine. We have two schedules, a monthly full on the first Friday of each month and weekly incremental jobs. However, on one large file server, the incremental backups are routinely being converted to fulls. I see these messages in the job history: Backup job has been converted to a full backup because Data   Verification detected errorsThe full backups are causing quite a load on the file server. Looking at the job history, about ½ of the jobs are being converted from INCR to FULLs. How do I track down what is causing the verification errors so that it doesn’t have to convert incremental to fulls? Thanks,Q

Hi alli am using metallic and one of our plans has a retention policy of 30 days with a synthetic full each month i was wondering if cycles could pip this on retention ,although I would have to find the cycle settings hope this makes sense  Regards  Tony 

Hello, we use cv11.32.35. Maybe anyone know where I can find a webreport which shows me the same information such as "admin job history" on commcell consoleregards Roland 

I configured the Kubernetes cluster in the environment to perform the backup and added the namespace to perform the PostgreSQL backup. The job is executed and completed successfully, as is the restoration. However, when we upload the database application with the restored data, the error appears: Reported that the database restoration was unsuccessful due to problems mounting the persistent volumes, which prevented the application from uploading correctly.I checked the configuration and it seems to be configured with a Virtual Machine. Does anyone know if I need to configure it differently for the PostgreSQL database environment in Kubernetes, such as when backing up via an agent, for example?

Hi everyone,I'm seeking clarification regarding the Auto Discovery features available in Commvault's Metallic environment.Specifically: What types of resources can be automatically discovered? For instance, is it possible to configure auto discovery for specific services like Amazon RDS? Can I configure global auto discovery across all resources in specific accounts? Is it feasible to filter discovered resources using tags?

Hi,I just update the MR from 11.36.41 to 11.36.49 by this flow:prod CS - instance 1prod CS - instance 2DR CS - instance 2and while I ran the update for DR CS instance 1 I’m getting the error: “Failed to established [COMMSERVE, DM2, WFEngine, CVCloud, HistoryDB, ...] database connection I have full access to CS DB and the user sqladmin_cv configure as sysadmin any solution? Thanks 

Hi all, So I have a customer that has expessed interest in Azue AD (EntraID) backup. According to BoL (https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/azure_active_directory.html), only the following object types are protected: Users Groups Conditional access policies Enterprise applications App registrations Roles The customer is aking how to protect other objects, like devices, etc. Microsoft might create new object type at any time, why don’t we just protect all objects? 

Hi (new account due to email change, but still the same guy here)!I have a customer which wants to know if besides SAML and AD/LDAP, OpenID Connect is supported as a user authentication method for Command Center.Does anyone know if this is possible and/of if it’s being considered/developed?Thanks!

I have been using Metallic for a year but, would like to get certified.  Is this training included in the professional training?   Also, is the new portal (https://readiverse.commvault.com/learn) included if you are already a client or is there an extra cost? Thanks, in advance.

Overview In release 11.38 update pack 32,  we are introducing a new feature for both Software and SaaS database customer environments: log backup with caching for SQL, Oracle, and SAP HANA databases. This allows you to perform log backups at more frequent intervals and leverage a caching mechanism to securely and efficiently transfer transaction logs from the database server to backup storage. The Log Backup with Caching feature enhances database protection by enabling high-frequency transaction log backups—even during control plane/CommServe computer downtime. Logs are first written to a secure cache before being backed up to storage, allowing for data consistency and the potential to improve RPOs. This change will be enabled for new backup plans automatically and does not require action. Existing backup plans for SaaS customers will be updated over the coming months. Read through our FAQ below for more details. Q: What is Log Backup with Caching?Log Backup with Caching allows transac

Is the client machine with DEBIAN OS 6.0.7 compatible with the commvault version 11.32. I have tried in many ways to find the answer for this but not able to get the proper answer for this. Please help me on this. Thank You.

Hello Last week upgraded to 11.36 and today I removed old sql 2019 but apparently you also remove sql services. Now the sql database doesn't start anymore. I still have an old installation of sql 2022 with commvault license should I just start a new installation and then use the same instance ID which is set to passive? Or what is best practice in this situation??
