Hi,We’re trying to delete jobs thats having no data left in it. Since we have deleted all data within the subclient. In under the right storage policy viewing jobs we don’t get delete as an option in the rightclick menu.We’re running version 11.32.92 on prem.The subclient is a subclient of a Windows File System that’s been backingup data that should have been purge for several years ago.We’ve managed to delete the files backedup. But the jobs still exist in under the subclient.When trying to delete the subclient we get “The last cycle pertaining to [xxxx] subclient will be kept until those jobs are manually pruned. To confirm this action type …..How do we delete the jobs or prune them directly??
During V2C (VMware to AWS EC2 Cloud) recovery, the recovery operation was completed, but the operation was terminated due to Complete one/error.Then, when you access AWS, the guest is created normally, but the validation fails and the guest is not runningThe target client is Windows 2019std, and the Commserve version is V11 SP36.The proxy server is V11 SP32.
Hi Community ,I’m planning to transition from using storage policies to plans, which are currently configured in our environment.While plans are modern and aligned with future cv direction, I’ve noticed some limitations in flexibility that could influence the decision to continue with storage policies instead.For instance, in storage policies, I can configure multiple copies — say, a Primary and an Offsite copy — and assign different sets of clients to each. For example, 10 clients to the Primary copy and only 5 to the Offsite copy, based on requirements. I haven’t been able to find this level of granular control with Plans. When a plan is assigned to a client, it seems all associated copies are applied uniformly. Am I missing something here?Another concern is around scheduling. If I associate 100 clients to a single plan with one schedule, does that mean all 100 clients will initiate backups simultaneously? In many cases, specific clients require tailored schedules based on business n

Hi Team, When I call the API below, I get the following output and according to this output, I think that the "enableDataSecurity":true information below actually shows the "Prevent Administrators from viewing or downloading your data" option in the CommCell Console interface. I checked it comparatively.However, there is a situation like this. In order to get this information, I need to get the clientId information for each notebook and get it one by one for each client.Since I backed up a lot of notebooks, it is not possible for me to do this one by one. How can I query all the notebooks in my system and get the "enableDataSecurity":true information? API BOL: https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/expert/rest_api_get_client_properties.htmlAPI Call: GET <webservice>/Client/{clientId} HTTP/1.1 Sample of Output:"clientSecurity":{"enableDataSecurity":true,"clientOwners":["0ber0n"]
Hi We have multiple archive and cleanup policies, and we want to assign them based on Active Directory (AD) group membership. However, we’re encountering an issue where the default policy takes precedence, even when a user is a member of both the general group and a specific group.Our goal is to ensure that the policy assigned to the specific group overrides the general/default policy. How can we adjust the priority or enforcement logic so that users always receive the more specific policy when they belong to multiple AD groups
Hi everyone, I have an Commvault account – last month I was still able to access the video training Commvault Support Foundations 2024 - Video Training with my account on https://commvault.csod.com/. the previous platform has been decommissioned and a new portal has been launched instead. I am unable to log in to the new portal https://readiverse.commvault.com/ with my account. Can someone help me with this? I would like to get certified for Commvault. Thanks and best regards Pietro
Before posting I reviewed the previous thread but it appears that this is from over a year ago.Need to report some documentation pages that are incorrect but I cant submit a feedback for that particular link because it is under “Expert” and support told me to raise a CMR which seemed not to be the right approach for a documentation review.What is the proper direction for customers to request for a documentation review/fix? Thanks
Hi folks,I need to amend storage policy copy details (using API), particularly this block:I need to change the value of streams number..The GET request I use to obtain storage policy copy details:<webservice>/V2/StoragePolicy/{storagePolicyId}/Copy/{copyId}However, looks like this parameter is missing in the response 😒
HI together,we are currently using a storage-policy that has an incremental storage-policy attached (for the incremental backups).When we created a plan this kind of setup is no longer possible via Command Center … but it was possible to attach a different (base) plan for the incremental backups via the Commcell Console. (11.32 and 11.36).Is this only working because we are on the lucky side … or is this intended? Is there any ”plan” to attach incremental “plans” via Command Center?Best regards.Michael
Commvault 11.321PiB of back-end data (compressed/deduped/stored size)Aux copying data from secondary copy of backup data.Four physical media agents on-premFour virtual media agents in Azure5Gbps ExpressRoute circuit from on-prem to AzureThere is about 20ms of latency between the physical on-prem MAs and the Azure virtual MAsWe have deduplication/DASH copy enabled. We saw atrocious performance, from the start. Seeing that 20ms of latency would certainly impact DDB look-ups on the virtual MAs, we turned on “Source Side Disk Cache” in the storage policy copy (we kept the default 8192MB cache size). It’s running a little bit faster, but still pretty sluggish.Would we expect to see a further boost in performance by expanding the “Source Side Disk Cache” from 8192MB to ~128000MB? That should further reduce the incidence of remote DDB look-ups on the Azure virtual MAs, right? Are there any other best practices for speeding up the transmissing of Commvault aux copies from an on-prem site
Hello Community, We have that configuration: File server with DFS namespaces on Windows machine. Archive solution with Windows File System Archiving on the same machine. and time to time, DFS service is blocked by Commvault which stopped shared files to users. According to Microsoft investigation there is a file which working in the same time and can provided that issue: E:\System Volume Information\Commvault\Data Classification\dc_001.db-journalDoes someone have that type of problem? Is possible to move somewhere that DB from Commvault site, to not stop DFS service?Regards, Michal
Hello all, currently we are facing some performance issues with our disk library, which is a CIFS share provided by our central storage system/appliance.To run some analysis or to troubleshoot the problem further, we thought about to run some tools like IOmeter against the storage system an see how it performs.The question which we are now facing is how we have to configure the tool regarding the workload/storage caracteristica which commvault is creating for a storage system and a deduped library type?for example:80% read20% write4KB IO block size70% random30% sequentialand so on if there are any other values which should be considered. Many thanks and regardsSkoomer

Hello Commvault,To restrict restore operations to Commvault users, I see that there is the “Browse and Restore” Role with following Permissions:There is a requirement to have separated permissions groups / users for restore:- VMware VM restore- o365 Exchange online restore- OneDrive for business restoreIs this possible? Please for your feedback,Nikos

One of our customers is still on 11.24. They want to upgrade to 11.38. Is this possible in one step? Or is it better to do this in more steps? Thanks!
Hi guys. A simple question¿How can I enable the file system agent of CommServer on the CommcandCenter?Since version 11.34.X the Commcell Console is not “available” so I not able to do it from there.File system agent is obviously installed as it is the CommServer but not available under the Protect > File Server list. Regards.

Hello Team, When I get the json payload from the “Equivalent Api” option in Command Center, I see a GUID parameter. What exactly is a GUID, what does it do? In the example below, I can add a VM named vm1 to a VM subclient without a GUID and the backup works.In this case, is there any harm in using it without a GUID?{"content": {"overwrite": true,"ruleGroups": [{"matchRule": "ALL","rules": [{"type": "VM_NAME","condition": "CONTAINS","name": "vm1*"}]}]},"filters": {"overwrite": false},"diskFilters": {"overwrite": false}}
Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good day. I’ve been trying to build an API call that would suspend and then autoresume a job but I’m not being able to figure out how. These have been my attempts so far:1.curl -s -L -k -X POST "${URL}/Job/30409890/action/pause?autoResumeInSec=60" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H "Authtoken: $key" \ -H "Content-Length: 0" \ --data '{}' > /dev/null2.curl -s -L -k -X POST "${URL}/Job/$jobid/action/pause" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H "Authtoken: $key" \ --data '{ "options": { "autoResumeInSec": 600 } }' > /dev/null Request 1. will suspend but never end up resuming. I’m basically stuck first suspending and putting it in a loop finding when the job is finally suspended to then make a call to resume. If I was able to use the autoresume parameter it would really simplify things. Has anyone
15 Apr Update: Systems have stabilized and we are back in action. Let me know if you find any anomalies. Hey folks,As you may have noticed, we have some challenges with our upstream infrastructure provider today which has affected the availability of some sites, such as the Community, Support Portal, Readiverse and others. Many of these sites rely on core services in Azure, for which we have been impacted by an ongoing network anomaly. Microsoft has confirmed the issue and is working with us to restore availability, but there may still be some cascading issues for the remainder of the day.Our apologies - we’re working to restore these sites to a reliable state as soon as we can.In the meantime, I want to post our support numbers where you can reach us for assistance: USToll Free +1 877-780-3077 Direct +1 732-571-2160 Latin AmericaBrazil 0-800-892-2288 Colombia 01-800-5224321 Mexico 01-800-681-1581 Europe, Middle East & AfricaBelgium 0800-79392 Denmark 8088-926
