Hi All,We have a VM backup with (VMware) VSA Snap. The same job was copied to secondary which was in Azure.Our VSA was later removed as there is no dependency on it.We are trying to restore few Guest Files from the VM backup from the secondary copy with Azure Media Agent and Library, but the restore is failing saying that the Old VSA was unable to communicate.Not sure why it is asking this way, even we are browsing it from Cloud MA which is having VSA installed on it.Our VM was a Windows Server, Old VSA is Windows and new MA/VSA is Linux.Any suggestions or idea, why it is taking it even we are giving other MA/VSA? Thanks in Advance.. Warm Regards,Sravan Kondeti

Backup Data flow in VMWare using the Hotadd transport mode for data transfer; Does it transfer data directly from ESxi server or VSA to library through MA?

Hello, we use cv11.32.63I have the following question: When I start in commandcenter a synth-full backupjob an incremental backup runs before. Is there any way to run only the synth-full backup without incremental backup? I only see this behavior when I start the synth-full backup manuelly. If I define a schedule policy I have a choice run incremental backup before, after or synth-full backup alone.   regards Roland

Hello Commvault team. Is there any way to reattempt the Commvault Certified Professional Exam ?

Hello Commvault,In Exchange Online Self-Service, is there any way to remove the ability from end-user to view it’s Deleted Items?https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/previewing_exchange_online_messages_and_attachments.htmlAlthough, from Administrator side, we still need the ability to view / restore also these Deleted items from all mailboxes.Best regards,Nikos

We want to migrate VMs from Vmware to Hyper-V using Commvault. The Hyper-V will be a cluster with SAN storage to store the Cluster files. The Hyper-V cluster will be hardened with Windows Firewall rules. What are the ports to be allowed for allowing Restore of VM from VMware to Hyper-V and Backups of Hyper-V VMs on Proxy.

Hi,I want to recover a exchange DB from tape,the backup is written on two different tapes. But we only have one LTO4 drive.When I want to recover the Exchange DB, the job is always aborted because the second tape cannot be read. The first tape is in the LTO drive. I have no way of changing the tape during the recovery job. How can I solve the problem?ThanksRalph

Hello,I have a Storage Policy with the disks and retentions shown below. The idea behind this design is shorten the time required to backup to the primary, then Aux copy(slower disks) can be done later. For jobs with a Full(day1), Incremental (next 20 days), I have seen the full and incrementals being retained on the primary and not aging after 1 day. I understand why as the Full and incrementals are needed to restore, but is there any way to age them off the primary as they will be available on Aux Copys. I have been manually deleting the jobs off the Primary as space starts to run out, but the next incremental job automatically converts itself to a Full backup. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.Primary - SSDs 3TBs - Retention 1 Day 0 Cycle Aux Copy - HDDs 40TBs - Retention 21 Day 1 Cycle Aux Copy - Tape Storage

After setting up an update from version 11.32.59 to 11.32.63 that failed, the commvault web console is not accessible anymore. Not from localhost on the linux server that hosts it, or from any of the clients. It still sends emails that there are updates available for download, but I’m unable to connect to the webconsole. The Web service is running if I go to ip:5000/searchsvc/cvwebservice.svc but I get an unable to connect when trying to log into the console itself.

Does commvault make use of Multi-part upload to S3 compatible HCP/HCP-CS storage?If yes, what's the part size? Can it be modified at the CV ? Does it occur for both non-worm and worm policies? Are there any logs where the parts and upload-ids can be viewed? 

How does HyperScale deal with node failures? An issue with the M2 NVME boot drive caused the failure of one of our three nodes Cluster  (HS 2300 HSX Appliance). Version 4.7 of Hedvig; with over usable capacity of 88 TB; hosted on SuperMicro servers. We saw that all of our backup jobs had entered a waiting state (there's no indication that the backup entered a waiting state right away. Rather, after a few hours, it stopped). When we checked how much the rf3 discs were being used on the nodes, we found that nodes 2 and 3 secondary space were being used a lot.Commvault TAC informed us that after a node failure, the HedVig File system could only handle a certain amount of data, which in our case was 7TB. After that point, the File system became inaccessible to further writes, which doesn't look completely resilient because it gets hamstrung with capacity if it goes beyond 7 TB even though there is more capacity left in the remaining nodes

Hello community,Im looking for a way to restore an on-prem Exchange mailbox to an Exchange online mailbox (o365).From Exchange restore options menu, I can see only the Exchange (on-prem) as a destination. Also, from Exchange online (o365), there is only the option for Exchange online restore.No option for on-prem Exchange (cross restore). Our version is 11.32.49.Please for your feedback, if cross restore on-prem Exchange ↔ Exchange online is supported in Commvault.Best regards,Nikos

Hi folks,we are planning to upgrade from 11.28 to 11.32, but we have some questions that maybe you can helps us clarify.Our setup is:Commserve installed in a cluster configuration with 2 serversWindows Server 2016SQL Server 2016At this moment we are not planning to upgrade to a new Windows version or doing a hardware refresh.Some scenarios we are considering.1) Upgrading only the Commvault packages, by using the Download Software within the Commcell. Is there some downside with staying in SQL Server 2016?2) Upgrading SQL Server + Commvault packages, at the same time, by using the Full Media Kit download (including SQL Server packages). I have tried this in a lab, but it didn't upgrade SQL Server, only Commvault packages.3) Can we upgrade in steps like this?3.1) upgrade just the SQL Server using the 2019 install package included in the Full Media Kit. Upgrade on the passive node, then failover the instance to it

Hello Community,Since we have the first customers who can no longer use the Commcell Console or only with great effort due to a new installation 11.34, I am currently trying to find support standard functions in the Command Center again.A classic example: how do I set the debug level of a process and the number of versions of the log files on a Linux client. It was easy until 11.32:https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/expert/configuring_log_file_consettings_in_commcell_console.htmlIn versions 10.x we used to use keys. I found the item “settings” and an “add” button at “manage Servers ...”.Are we going back to that level or have I overlooked a menu item in CommandCenter?Thanks in advanceJoerg 

Hello everyone,I am a Solution Architect and Integrator, and I have recently been tasked with migrating our CommVault infrastructure to IaaS virtual machines on Azure. Currently, our environment consists of a CommServe installed on a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine, with a Media Agent and a proxy server each on separate Windows Server 2016 machines. My goal is to migrate the entire solution to Windows Server 2022 virtual machines on Azure, followed by upgrading the CommVault software from 11.28.117 to the last version.It’s important to note that I was not involved in the initial installation or configuration of this CommVault solution. My mandate includes the migration, optimization for the cloud, and maximizing cost efficiency.We are hesitant about exporting the CommVault database from our On-Premise environment and importing it into the new IaaS CommServe, mainly due to the cloud-specific security requirements that are not currently implemented on the On-P

When I use WORM-enabled storage policy to backup a file. I can see from the Object store logs that the PUT requests include partNumber and uploadID. See the example below.PUT /2.6wormtest/Z5YO4V_09.06.2024_10.43/CV_MAGNETIC/V_342/CHUNK_1294/SFILE_CONTAINER_020?partNumber=1&uploadId=7ffffe6e38ff88e4 HTTP/1.1When using a NONWORM policy to backup the same file, the received PUT request does not include the partNumber or uploadID. See the example below.PUT /windowsnonworm/1DWYIV_09.11.2024_10.49/CV_MAGNETIC/V_8220/CHUNK_84999/SFILE_CONTAINER_001.FOLDER/0 HTTP/1.1" 200My question is, does Commvault not employ multipart upload during a backup with the standard (WORM disabled) policy?

I have a bunch of data in a very end of support tape library. I need to get it out of teh tape library and into somewhere else. If I configure an HPE Storeonce library and use that as an auxcopy target will the storeonce be able to deduplicate the data coming off tape? I’m unfamilair with Catalyst - and I vaguely recall that in an aux copy scenario chunks are moved from place to place without any actual processing that might be required for catalyst/dedupe processing.

Planning to move the existing Commvault appliance to a new hardware with bigger disks and SSD’s.Some  questions: Current version is CV Version: 11 SP16 HPK17, shall I move to 2022E or 2023E? In the Hardware Refresh Procedure,it is mentioned that the local mount path should be copied to a location accessible to the new server. The size of the local mount path is 10TB. I plan to copy the contents to the new server’s disk library. Copying will be done over the network and I believe it will take some time to complete, so my question is, should I copy over the mount path before i do the CV installation in the new server? What is recommended approach?

Hi All, Request you to please update if Commvault provides Self Services Restores for Microsoft O365 applications (Exchange Online, OneDrive SharePoint and Teams).If yes then please share the pre-req, implementation and post implementation steps. Reagrds,Rahul Raina

Hello Vaulters. Do we support self-service restore with our Office 365 data protection? Thanks!

We want to configure backups for Office 365 & AzureAD.According to the documentation the most secure method currently available is by registering (multiple) apps which can be configured manually or automatically when using a global admin with temporary MFA disabled.The only possible authentication method seems to be clients secrets which is better than service accounts for sure, but I wouldn’t call it the most secure method either.Not sure if (Azure) conditional access can be applied to the app registrations.Is there any other way possible, such as certificates or even managed identities ?It seems Commvault has possibilities in that direction but only for Azure VM’s.Kind regards,Tom

Hi. In the Commcell console, the table layouts that I saved are back to default the next day. If I saved and logoff and back in, table layout is the saved one. Buy the next day, it’s back to default.Windows server is not part of any domain, so no GPO are involved here. It used to stay saved few months ago, but not anymore. Not sure after which update this behavior started.Is there some sort of conf file being created for my CV user, or is this just send in CV DB?
