Commvault Cloud Topics

Hi,How may I know if my Aix environment is supported with DataDomain DDBoost over fiber?  Commvault Version: 11.40 release 22Commvault Media Agent SO: AIX 7.1/7.2 We have a large Oracle DB with 50Tb that we would like to protect.

Our Commvault disk library has Storage Compliance Lock enabled. The retention setting is 7 days and 1 cycle. How can we delete the final backups of servers that have been decommissioned and will no longer be backed up? Will these backups occupy space in my disk library forever? IS there a way do delete the jobs ?

Hi all. Is it possible to backup PostgreSQL via a Windows cluster? The scenario is, that a team wants to install PostgreSQL on two Windows servers running a Windows cluster with shared disks, like you do with MSSQL. They want to put the log and data on a shared drive that runs on the active server and this drive can fail over to the passive node.  Is this scenario even possible to backup or is only possible with the PostgreSQL cluster client (pseudo-client) with a master and a standby server? Regards-Anders

Hi all, I’m planning on replacing our MA server, and I just needed a sanity check on the Replace Media Agent App and Move Mount Point processes. The old MA has a Disk Library with 7 mounth paths, most of which are iSCSI LUNs from a couple different arrays. The new MA will have much more direct attached storage, so I’m plannin on just 2 mount points. If I run the Replace Meda Agent App process, and let it run the Move Mount Point process, am I able to consolidate the old mount paths down to 2 during this process, and specify the destination of each of the source MP’s?  I assumed that I can because the Move Mount Path function in the Commcell console offers me the option to move it to an existing device, however the documentation says: The move mount path operation overwrites the destination mount path. Therefore, ensure that the destination mount path is an empty folder.  Can anyone offer any clafification?Thanks!

What is the best practice when it comes to the number of buckets to create when using  Cloud Library using S3 Netapp Storagegrid?Is there a performance gain/benefit of using more than 1 S3 Netapp Storagegrid bucket in one Cloud Library using S3. Appreciate any thoughts, suggestions or even any documentations available online which can explain the pros and cons

Hi, I want to enable hardware encryption in the copies  to the tape library. I have enabled hardware encryption from Control Panel - System - Encryption - Hardware Encryption - use hardware encryption - No Access. However when I try to enable hardware encryption in the storage policy level, the option is greyed out. Kindly advise how to enable it on the Storage Policy level. Im running Commvault 11.40 and the tape library is a Fujitsu Eternus LT40 S2 with HP Ultrium 6 tape drive.

Hi guys, I installed Hyperscale Edge version 11.40.12, while my CommServe is version 11.40.47 and the client is 11.40.47.Can I update Hyperscale Edge manually using the CommServe installation file which is a full media kit so that all versions are the same?

My goal is to install Commvault on a standalone server and back up the server's own data to tape.During the installation, under Server Information, when I enter IP:8403, I receive the following error:"The server is not running on the remote computer."This is the first-time installation of Commvault on this server, and it will be configured as both the CommServe and MediaAgent.

Hi,I have some questions about the workflow for upgrading: VSA V1 to V2 Migration Workflow.In VMWare we have not only the defaultbackupSet but also many other backupSets where we sort different subclients.As far as I’ve understood, the backupSets are being considered legacy, and VMGroup can only be created it in the default backupset.What will happen to all of the subclients in the other backupsets under the client if I would run this workflow?Would they all go into the defaultBackupSet or would the new client maintain the structure of the backupSets and now VMGroups, even though they are not the defaultBackupSet. Does anyone have any experience with this? Kind regards,Daniel

Hi Team, we found a process named CvFanDmSVC installed and running in commvault base directory, but we couldn’ t find any information about this process. This process ran even though the backup wasn't running. Why does it run, and what is its purpose? CvFanDmSvc Properties and tagsMain technologyOtherBitness64-bitCommand line args/opt/agents/commvault/Base/CvFanDmSvcEXE nameCvFanDmSvcEXE path/opt/agents/commvault/Base64/CvFanDmSvcPorts

Team,We have commvault On-Prem with version 11.40.6 and planning to enable Arlie.Please let me know if we need to buy separate license or it included in capacity-based license?and also, I want to understand the steps to enable Arlie when checked documentation its very highlevel.Enabling Arlie 

Hello.I saw in https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/changes_in_feature_release_11_24.htmlthat CBT is no longer supported.Could you please tell me if there exists a plan to re-add CBT support? Victor

Hi All, we would like to build our own montoring for Commvault over the rest api. My Question now is regarding the commserve failover. We are running 2 Comsmerve in 2 Datacenters with the build in commserve failover. Now when we use rest api we need to connect to the comsmerve but when the failover planed or unplaned occures the rest api commands run into nirvana.  Do you have an idear or an solution what we can to to run the api commands againts both ? 

I am planning an infrastructure refresh where I need to retire an existing MediaAgent and migrate its FC-attached tape library to a newly deployed Commvault HyperScale Edge node.My main focus is ensuring data path consistency, avoiding any library deconfiguration, and maintaining restore capabilities. The planned high-level workflow is: Re-zone the FC tape library to the new HyperScale Edge node. Validate OS-level hardware detection on the Edge node. Use Expert Storage Configuration to perform Exhaustive Detection, adding the new Edge MA to the library while keeping the existing configuration intact. Execute "Change Data Path" on the relevant Storage Policy Copies to point to the new Edge MA. Perform standard MediaAgent Retirement on the old node. I am looking for technical validation of this workflow. Specifically: Are there any HyperScale Edge-specific prerequisites or limitations regarding direct-attached or FC-switched tape libraries? What are the known issues regarding e

Error Code: [14:286]Description: Index reconstruction failed. Reason [Restore of Index logs failed from media [lenovo_disklib2 ]. Please check whether media is in library and retry.].Source: baas-media04, Process: BrowseDear! This is a file system restore (dump_log) that is failing at 5% completion. Previously, we had conflicts with backup jobs running on the same server, so I created a Blackout Window schedule to prioritize the restore. However, I have a DDB_Reconstruction job running, which I believe might be causing the conflict. This is why it's generating this failure. Could you please validate this?Best Regards,Sirlene

Hello Team,Do we have any roadmap or update regarding VMware supportability on HPE VME?I reviewed the compatibility for version 11.32, and I do not see VMware listed as supported. However, could you please share any updates on the internal development roadmap for VMware support on HPE VME?Regards,Srini

Can Commvault store full backups and incremental backups in separate buckets, with immutability enabled only for the full backup bucket, to optimize costs? If feasible, what are the pros, cons, and key considerations of this design?

Hi, I have a hpe vme essentials cluster with 3 nodes, I trying to configure this in commvault so I can do a test backup of a vm that is running on that cluster.we are running 11.40 I’am using following document https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/configuring_backups_for_hpe_morpheus_vm_essentials_vms.htmlBut I don’t understand how to create and use the access node?I don’t have the access node tile under Manage-infrastructure to add a new one? 

Hi,We are decomissioning our VMware media agents and only using Azure hosted Median Agents. The new Azure Media Agents arent showing as access nodes for vcenter backups. I’ve read about installing VSA but cannot find the install files or an accurate guide to do this. All groups and software between old (vmware) and new (azure) media agents match. Thanks

We have a commserve in AWS, which host name is its ip address. We can access the web portal with the ip as a url on Windows laptops, however other members who use a mac machine cant. From what I gather from minor research if I create a proxy server with a fqdn this should resolve the issue for the MAC users and the ip cache issue.Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Or have an alternate solution, that does not involve changing the hostname of the commserve itself?

Hi,According to the documentation, version 11.40 of the agent can be installed on the CentOS 6 operating system. However, the documentation only mentions the PowerPC architecture.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/end_of_life_deprecated_and_extended_support_for_platforms.htmlIs this also supported for Intel processors? I noticed that x64 support is available for newer versions of CentOS.

We have newly provisioned HSX platform and we are doing VSA backups on Vmware 8We are utilizing Intellisnap At the moment we have one job using PRD tag and another job doing non-prd and UAT tagsThese are HSX nodes (11) and over 1000 VMs Although the backups are running the backup copies seem to be taking a long time (NBD; we will migrate to SAN mode)Also, we have tag based exclusions; so if a VM is both in excluded tag(RDBMS should not be snapshotted) and included tag (Some RDBMS should be which dont have agent based backup) the VMs does not get backed up; we are currently manually adding those vms to backup and that seem to work. Is there a better way to use tags say we will have to add specific VMs to configuration In our old Commvault  environment we have VM data-store based jobs (IntelliSnap again) but these had virtual proxies and because each ds backup triggered at a different time and separate virtual proxies(hot-add); it seemed more efficient in terms of backup copies.  Now the

The topic generally covers a few points.We have an “older” backup system, running Windows Server with “suitable” hardware specs, containing >50 TB of storage. No cloud stuff etc. but an LTO-9 library attached.Why is the fragmentation so high at all. I’ve configured allocation of writeblocks to 1024 MB. But it seems to clearly not do - or keep - that. I hoped to find help in:  But the recommendation to use “space reclamaition” instead of defragmenting sounds like someone has no clue about the topic. If my library is “full”, I can’t reclaim anything and by that it does not help the fragmentation-status the tiniest bit. For DR-use, we not only save the dr-backups (config etc.) but also have a scheduled job running, that backs up (copies) all library-files from storage to our tape library (also enabling us to airgap data frequently - good for ransomware attacks). But due to the fragmentation, our backup process is limited by the RAID containing the library. It’s still “spinning rust”

Hi.I am in the process of using the batch file created by the “Save as Script” option to start backup jobs.Manually executing the batch file results in an error to saving the token file. When elevating the Command Prompt to Administrator the job successfully starts, save the token and executes.The user is added as a Local Administrator.Is there a way to bypass UAC during the execution of the command?Thanks. 

Hi, is it possible to use intellisnap on vme essentials like it’s possible on vmware
