Cloud Library (S3) - Best Practice

Evening folks,I am after some advise/best practice info if possible (happy to be linked to any documentation!)What is best practice when using multiple cloud libraries (AWS S3) - is it better to an individual cloud library per S3 bucket (which also means multiple DDBs!!) or is it best to have a single cloud library with multiple mount paths to each S3 bucket within said library (which I believe will leave you with a single DDB?)Many thanks in advance!

Excluding RDM disks in OLVM

Hi all!I’ve been trying to solve some issue, but I’m out of ideas already. I’m preparing new Commvault solution for OLVM (Oracle Linux Virtualization, based on oVirt). One of the VMs (let’s name it VM_RDM) has physical RDM disks attached, which are being backed up externally, outside of CV. I need to exclude them from CV backup, but sadly I didn’t find any solution for OLVM.My VM_RDM is backing up properly, but I’m getting status “Backed up with 1/more errors” with description “physical RDM disks are not supported”. I know it doesn’t impact my backups, but is there any way to get rid of this communicate? I can’t use filesystem backup due to requirements. I tried disk filters in “content” page, setting up different plans, subclients etc, but it just doesn’t work. I tried additional setting “IgnoreUnsupportedDisks” (https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/details?name=%22IgnoreUnsupportedDisks%22&id=1318), but it didn’t change anything as well.  I found this topic which

Hi,Just a quick question on the Bonded Topology for HyperScale X Reference Architecture.I can see from the BOL that the Storage Pool IP Address should be resolvable to the CommServe server !! Is this a new setting ? I have seen HSX config’s where the storage pool ip address is on a 192.168 range and the CommServe on a 10.10 range with no second nic for a 192.168 range. Thanks

Enable FileSystem Agent

Hello,I have a client that is backed up as a virtual instance plus a native SQL agent. Now I’d Like to change that and remove from virtual and add a File&Systems agent. Though it seems it is already installed, as seen below, but I don’t see the agent under the client.Is there a way to add the license for it? I can’t reinstall it it seems since it’s already there? Anyone know how I should proceed?BRHenke

Passkey Recovery

We are currently looking into enabling the PassKey feature for one of our ‘Companies’ associated to our Multi-Tenant CommCell.The feature meets all the requirements to allow us, as the MSP, to support the customer from a BAU perspective without being able to view the sensitive data we will be backing up.However, I need to explicitly know that if the customer who will hold the Passkey loses this, can it be recovered from the CSDB?The customer will enter the passkey via remote session so as the MSP we will not have any record of it but need to be able to provide a solution in the event they misplace the Passkey.Thanks in advanced

Hi Team,On our Linux server, there are folders named /builds/ in different paths and there are many non-critical files in these folders. We want to exclude all folders that are /builds/ on the server and remove them from the backup.If we define exclude as "***/builds/" in this request, will I achieve my goal? Thanks in advance.
