Commvault Cloud Topics

Hi,I had a request to produce a quarterly report that will list all types of exclusions that have been put in place in Commvault.    Currently on 11.32.89I have been looking at the reports on the Commvault cloud, Custom reports, rest API.  This seems like a nearly impossible task to do.What we are looking for is :Excluded VMs and VM disks Excluded files and folders for File System Agent, for each clients/subclientsDoes anyone know how we could accomplish this ?Thanks

Hi,I’d like to Retire a Media Agent hosting a global dedup database on which my primary copies are pointing ,to keep only my secondary copies hosted on another MA for archival purposes.Looking at the documentation I found that I can seal a ddb using an xml script but its mentioning the parameters -storagePolicyName 'xxxxx' and -copyName 'xxxxx'. What in my case where I have a global dedup db with multiple copies linked to it?https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/retiring_deduplication_database.htmlThx in advance for your answers. 

Hi! I had been using the release license API and it used to work, until today. I am not sure if something changed in the backend, or am I missing something in the payload? Payload1:{"isClientLevelOperation": true,"licensesInfo": [{"platformType": 1}],"clientEntity": {"clientId": 12345},"license": {"licenseName": "Server File System - Windows File System"}}Payload2:{"isClientLevelOperation": true,"licensesInfo": [{"platformType": 1}],"clientEntity": {"clientId": 12345}} Response:{"warningCode": 0,"errorMessage": "","errorCode": 0,"warningMessage": ""} Even tho I see an error code 0, the license is not released.

Seems friday our backups stopped working for file and sql. I show cvd.exe faulting in application logs on all of the serves for the agent. I strongly think this was from some update or upgrade from Commvault. All agents in portal show “Not ready”. On each box I can see the metallic communication service going off and on every few minutes. Something changed and its for everything. No support on weekends so things just aren’t backing up. Need any help if possible.  I have restarted our on prem media gateway - no changeI have restarted a few of the SQL servers - no changedont see anything changed in Firewall. no denies etcI can reach Media agents from clientsAny ideas?  Version is 11.38.15 on all agents and media agent. 

Hello I need to provide an isolated/test environment (with IP masquerading etc.) to perform set-of-VMs restores on regular basis (like Veeam SureBackup) For Command Center I can use Auto-Recovery feature with “Test Failover” option but as far as I can see we can only use Live Mount (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.38/essential/testing_failover_for_periodic_replication_group.html)How to perform such isolated & automated test with regular streaming restores instead of Live Mounts? Production/source VMs should remain online and untouched during the test. I am aware that I can achieve something like this with old-fashioned Virtual Lab managed by deprecated CommCell Console https://documentation.commvault.com/11.38/expert/creating_restore_as_lab_policy_for_vmware.html, but I want to follow brand new Command Center ;) Any thoughts or findings will be appreciated. Kind regards,eMF   

Hi Commvault-UsersI’m looking for a good way to find all client computers with subclients which have the setting “Retain jobs indefinitely” in the retention tab.As we have around 500 client computers with multiple subclients checking all the subclients manually is not a good solution.Any Ideas?The following screenshot shows the setting marked in red of the subclient: RegardsJan

Hi,We’re running 11.32.73.The Tomcat version used have at least two vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-52316 and CVE-2024-38286.When checking the windows service it says it’s version 10.1.8. When checking the catalina.jar file it shows version 10.1.19.Still we need to get past 10.1.30 to fix CVE-2024-52316 which have the status Critical.When do you plan to update the Tomcat version?

So we started migrating vms from vmware cluster 1 with nutanix storage  to pure cluster 2 with purestorage, about 1000 vms: we have intellisnap on both. The diffrnece is we have 50 datastore in nutanix vs 10 on pure, we have configured the job one subclient per lun, the proxies were in nutanix platform but I migrated few to pure, although the controller proxy still in Nutanix, however we seem to be having issues during the first phase when cv proxy requests a vmware snapshot of the vms..it was working all fine however as per the patching process we keep the snapshot on some vms overnight.  My understanding was as long as the networking among proxies does not change atleast the first phase should go smoothly without any load issue irrespective of where the proxies are located either in nutanix or pure cluster...it appears the request to create a vmware snapshot taking too long..we are using the same set of proxies...

We have a standard patching process wherein we take a snapshot and leave the server running and then the snapshots are committed the next day just as a fail safe ; from what I understand this process should not be used to patch Commvault windows proxies as could have issues during the backup copy process (we use intellisnap; like hot-add)

Im planning to upgrade our Commserver from Commvault v11.32 to v11.36.  I was reading the document and it says since v11.36 comes with SQL 2022 you need to manually uninstall the SQL ( which technically means uninstall everything including the Commvault modules etc ) and reinstall . Is there a more seamless and supported way on doing this?  Seems like Commvault has drop the ball in this process. Use to be able to keep existing version etc.

How can I restore a SQL database without using a .bak file? When I attempt to restore the database to disk or to an out-of-place location, the restore process generates a .bak file. I'm not sure how to restore the database as a regular database file with its associated transaction logs. Documentation hasn't provided any clear guidance. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi,We’re about to start upgrading the agents on the client servers and I’m curious how others are handling this activity. Of the course the goal is to have a successful upgrade and don’t cause any disruption.For the overall approached we will be using this:Updating Commvault Software on a Server Grouphttps://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/updating_commvault_software_on_server_group_01.htmlWe will be grouping our client servers into patch groups of 25 clients.Besides stopping the schedule policies and any running jobs what else should we be aware of? Also is anyone perhaps using a blackout window when performing the upgrades? It looks like you can add that to a server group but I’m not sure if it’ll work or not? It’s just to be 100% sure nothing will start while performing the upgrades.Last thing, we have some SAP HANA log backups that are being triggered from client side so they will not be stopped when the schedule policies are disabled. What is the best way to handle thi
