Commvault Cloud Topics

Hi all! I am trying to expand my knowledge as much as possible!Unfortunately, I do not have access to any kind of lab environment within my employer's structure...So, my idea was to create a small Commvault environment within my home lab—I do have a small home setup.The problem is the license. I would like to experiment with media agents, storage configurations, schedules, and other features—basically, most of Commvault’s functionalities. However, the very first issue I encountered is that I cannot even use the Commvault CommCell Console without applying a valid license…Is there a way to aquire any kind of lab/test license for home lab? 

Hi,when creating PLANs in CommandCenter, I’m not able to verify the parameters used for the backup frequencies entered, in the audit trail report.If modifying backup frequencies of a PLAN, the modifications done do not show up in the audit trail.Is there a special setting available/required to make configuration changes done via CommandCenter fully visible in the audit trail ?(running on 2023e / V11.32.71)rgdsKlaus

hi, we have s3 compatible cloud storage and we have multiple customers in a single commcell each with their own cloud bucket. Sometime the space on the storage is reclaimed only when space reclamation is run. According to your document that says - “Use the space reclamation feature to reclaim idle space on non-supported sparse files storage” - how can I find if our cloud supports this or not. Only our disk storage mount paths say “supports sparse” or “not support sparse” but there is no such thing for cloud mount path. Why data aging does not clear up the space and needs space reclamation to clean up. how often should I run this?

Hello guys, I have a question, for tape to tape copy for speed is very slower than disk to tape is this true?here the tape to tape copy is still in 1 library but when disk to tape it gets a throughput of 600-800 while tape to tape is only 20GB/HrThanks

Hi, A customer is using 1hrs RPO for inc file backup using a Plan. The want to set a specific start-minute to avoid collision with other activities. Is this possible in Command Center or do we need to request Commcell Consloe to create a separate Schedule Policy for this? /Patrik 

Hello Commvault,is there a plan to support “virtualize me” on OLVM and RHV ?regards Juergen

Hey legends, Hope you’re all doing great! Always appreciate the insights from this community. Got a quick one for you.We got Commvault VM replication running for a SQL VM with an RPO of 4 hours—kept it that way since it’s crash-consistent, and we already got SQL agent backups (t-logs every 15 mins + daily fulls) covering us. Need to run a bubble test, and Commvault suggested a test failover + SQL restore, but the failover VM spins up with the same IP as prod on an isolated network. cant move it to routable network as we can’t have it talking to AD/DNS since there’s no firewall or ACLs to block it, so we’re thinking of using a proxy with dual NICs: 1 on isolated network and one on MA/CS network This should let us restore SQL data to the test VM without exposing it to prod. But would the failover VM still route through CS/MA and reach AD/DNS? We only want restore traffic going through, nothing else.Can we set up a one-way tunnel in Commvault to allow restores but block all other traffic?

Greetings, We have a Commvault in our demo environment and we want to see commvault event report in our zabbix interface, i’m kinda new to both zabbix and commvault, is there a article i can follow step-by-step and is there a easy way to set it up this function because recent topics about zabbix monitoring is not up to date. Thanks.

Hi.  I looked in the community for this situation but couldn't find it exactly.  I'm using the Commcell Console on my Azure virtual desktop (Windows 10 Enterprise).  The AVD is in the central US region and my desktop shows that it is in the US central time zone (UTC - 6 hours).  Times for all jobs in the Job Controller, Restore History, Backup History, and the Schedule next run time are all showing as UTC.  On my laptop, also in US central time zone, when I view the same Job Controller, Restore History, Backup History, and schedules, the times are all properly displaying as US central time.  I tried clearing the cache on my Java (version 8, update 231) but it didn't make a difference.  I have one coworker with the same conditions and another who seems to be unaffected.  Any suggestions? Thanks! 

Hello All, I installed the CV  AD agent on a Windows server.I tried to test the backup however,  I am seeing the message below in the Adbackup.log adBackupClass::getAdParameters() - Error: Either there is no content eligible for backup or Directory services are offline. [main]() - Error connecting to servers or error getting information from AppMan I am thinking that this is something the Server Admin needs to check , i just want to make sure this isn’t a CV issue.Let me know if more information is neededThanks in advance

Hi All,What is the easiest way of seeing backup expiration dates across all backups I know you can view jobs against each storage policy and and download to excel but is there not a report that shows expiration date for all backups.Thanks in advance 

It is better to use a Commserve on a virtual or physical machine?

After Commvault software update to version 11.28.68 backup job for Big Data Apps (_AnalyticsServer) with content \%Download Center% is failing.  

Hello, 2 days ago we performed an upgrade from Commvault 11.28.131 (2022E) to 11.32.76 (2023E) on a Windows 2019 server.Everything went fine, no errors.Immediately after that, during nightly backups, we noticed an unexpected behavior, Commvault issued some errors on VMware VMs backup jobs (done with Intellisnap).Commvault is trying to backup some but not all VMware Linux template and the job completes fine for others VMs, and with the following error for the templates: " Template VM is not supported for Intellisnap. "   The whole VMware infrastructure is hosted on NetApp 9.12.1P11 clusters.Datastores are added in the subclient content.Any ideas on the origin of this issue ?Thanks in advance.

Hello all! Hope you are doing well! We do have FREL function which is running on some old version of RHEL. Our customer would like to have this media agent OS updated. Unfortunately, there are some problems with FREL function after update. This FREL support is so confusing and hard to find most recent support list.Does anyone of you know which Linux system are supported on Media Agent to have full FREL suport (and off course all others) ? Maybe there is some clear list for that? We are running 11.36 CVFor now we were using Oracle Linux to avoid licensing, so the best idea would be to stay on some free distro, but we will consider any solution.

Setup:We have a storage policy which has the primary copy is deduplication enabledSecond copy is to tape and is a synchronous copy but also contains backup data kept for 7 yearsWe are retiring the disk library including the Media agents associated with it To do this we are promoting the tape copy and totally deconfigure and purge the disk library 

Dear Community, I’m tasked to to provide how much capacity consumed by a client in a storage policy but not in detail.I tried Jobs in Storage Policy Copies but it has a lot of backup jobs.Can you recommend an easier way to get the requested info. BR 

Hi dears,I'm searching some info on how Commvault deduplication works and would like to ask: is it correct that the Commvault SQL database MMLibraryHistory table is used to maintain archive file delete records?Thanks for supportgivvi

Hi everyone,I have a question regarding the compatibility of HPE StoreOnce Catalyst with an air gap storage solution.Current Setup:HPE StoreOnce - Currently configured as the primary target backup storage and a Catalyst storage.New Addition:HPE DL380 server - Intended to be used as air gap storage.Question:Is it possible to utilize the new HPE DL380 server as an air gap storage solution while maintaining the existing HPE StoreOnce Catalyst as the primary backup storage? Thank you for your time and assistance.
