Hi,The link on our doc could do with a little more explanation as I've been asked this questions many times now :https://documentation.commvault.com/11.38/expert/resiliency_on_hyperscale_x.html is the below still correct? : HSX Cluster with EC 4:2 erasure coding (3 nodes or 6 nodes for example) can tolerate a total of 2 disk failures across the cluster or a single node ...One would assume a 6 node or more cluster could survive more than 2 disks in total going offline? Shut down / restarting: Erasure Code Block Size (Nodes / Block) Resilience Limit Comments / Description (4 + 2) 3 Nodes 1 node per block Shutdown/reboot only one node at a time. Ensure Commvault services are up on the rebooted node before rebooting the next node in the block. 6 or more Nodes Up to 2 nodes per block Can shutdown/reboot up to two nodes at a time. Ensure Commvault services are up on the rebooted nodes before rebooting the next
Hello, one of my customers is running CV 11.32.89 and .Net 8.0.406. Their Security Team discovered vulnerability in the current .Net version and advised to update to .NET_9.0_SDK_(v9.0.200)_x64. However, in the Commvault KB I see, that manual DotNet updates to another major version (e.g. 8->9) are generally not allowed:Manual Upgrade of .NET Core RuntimeCould you please advise how the customer can proceed to handle the vulnerability?Best regards, Aleksandra
We are preparing to implement a new Commvault environment and the tenants will be responsible for installing the client to their systems. As such, we would like an alert when a new client has been registered so we can associate it to the appropriate groups/plans/storage policy etc. So far as I can tell, such a thing does not exist. I would love input on how to best go about this. Thank you.
Hi Team,Some question on salesforce data protection through Commvault How does the CV licensing model apply to Salesforce? Which Salesforce entity serves as the basis for CV licenses? Does CV support both capacity-based and agent-based licensing models for Salesforce protection? Is it necessary to use Commvault Cloud/Metallic SaaS, or can an in-house Commvault deployment on a physical server or VM also be used for Salesforce protection?
Hi ALL,Our client want that when we run a restore of a server from Site A to Site B the restore network speed should be 200 MB/hour.

Dear Vaulters, We have implemented a new Tape Library(LTO9) to replace the old one(LTO8), our aim is to move the old tapes to the new Tape Library after decommissioning the old Tape Library to be able to restore the data from old tapes. My question is what is the action plan to make old tapes readable from the new Tape Library and what would happen during the restore from the old tapes. Appreciate your support & BR

Hello team,The task: Test a subclient backup, but not immediately but at a time specified by the customer.The basis is a PLAN to which hundreds of clients are assigned, so it should not be changed completely. In addition to the plan schedules, I have also found the option of starting a backup immediately.The possibility to schedule this backup as a one-time backup is missing Commcell console is unfortunately no longer an option for new customers. https://kb.commvault.com/article/82051Can you help or do I have to set an alarm clock in the future to test a backup?
Hi I have added the instance server with a subclient database. When snap management is enabled in the subclient, it does not detect the Array—Nimble. I have checked the passkeys.Array is not detected even after adding the array in snapshot management box
Hello everyone,our DBAs are currently in the process of consolidating our Oracle databases onto new ODAs.These have HA capabilities with two nodes each and shared storage underneath.We already have a single node ODA for a while and we are doing regular Oracle agent backups on it.For the new HA ODAs the plan is to set up databases on fixed nodes and only switch to another node in case of an issue.So under normal circumstances backups will be just fine running directly from the node associated with the database. I was wondering if there is any possibility to set up this kind of HA inside Commvault?As far as I understand from my DBAs Oracle RAC is working a bit different with active-active configurations and is therefore not a suitable solution in our case. Maybe someone has a similar setup to share their experience with ODAs? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Could any help me with some ideas how do this migration? Actual server has local disks in RAID 5 (disk library), that here are my backups. New server has local disk in RAID 5, to received that migration. Regards!

Hello Team, I hope everyone is doing well. I am trying to find what Aux Copies have fallen behind. I used the instructions found on Google (see below). I do not see the report. Please review the instructions and let me know where I can find the report. Here's a more detailed breakdown:Log on to the Web Console: Access the Commvault Web Console. Navigate to Reports: Click on the "Reports" option to access the available reports. Select the "Aux Copy - Fallen Behind Storage Policies" Report: Choose this specific report from the list to view the required information. Thank you in advance. Regards,
