Hi, im still trying to get the RPO settings right for the following scenario (we are currently on V 11.32.69): Incremental Backup Mo-Fr 09:00 PMTransaction for Database every 4hFull Backup of Databases every Day 09:00 PMFull Backup (of all) Saturday 09:00 PM (for Tape export) We have some flexability with the start time, but for the first try we started with the rule set above:The outcome was mixed, the SQL Backups all had some Jobs with an “Failed to start” Error, also some of the Job there startet as Differential (the SQL option to incr. Backup) for other its started the Full Job, depending what job was “faster” to start. Isn’t there some intelligence that priorities the “higher value” Backup Job (Full > Diff > Incr.)? I could manually move the Database Fulls a few minutes eralier, that would at least make sure, the Full would be ran and the Incr. would “Fail to start” but is there a way, i can get rid of attempt to start the job at all?In the RPO you can select “all Agent” and

Good Day everyone,we’re operating a remote location with a Windows-Server as a network-Gateway between Clients that have no connectivity to CS and Commserver. (Not the OVA)We proudly got our first unix SAPHana-Client operating in that remotelocation.We installed a lot of Windows-Clients so far in that remotelocation, which is why we we’re sure that our way would work with linux as well:- We installed the Client with the silent_setup which is available in the linux-package- After that we tried the following SIMcallwrapper: /opt/commvault/Base/SIMCallWrapper -optype 1000 -cshost commserveFQDN -clienthostname clientFQDN -Connectioninfo gatewayFQDN:8403 -user 'clientregister' -password 'password' -ClientGroup 'group that is configured to use proxy' however this does not work at all and we’re unfortunately unsure why:Successfully executed given operation.…SimCallWrapper failed. Please check SimCallWrapper.log under Simpana Log Files. Error [67109051]Simcall-Log Files state:31564 7b4c 10/31

Hello All,we have Mongo Sharded Configuration backup on COmmvault. We backup it daily full. As you know COmmvault take snapshot before backup and , It deletes snapshots after backup copy. When I check the client on Commvault there is not any snphot presented. But There are many snapshot taken by COmmvault on host. İs it fine if we delete them manuelly or how can we delete them? Commvault should delete them automaticly right? Snapshots on host: [gbmnsp08]~#lvsLV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convertcvnv_1213025853 datavg swi-I-s--- 50.00g lv_data01 100.00cvnv_1615395985 datavg swi-I-s--- 50.00g lv_data01 100.00cvnv_2032137259 datavg swi-I-s--- 50.00g lv_data01 100.00cvnv_2251453908 datavg swi-I-s--- 50.00g lv_data01 100.00cvnv_2532432752 datavg swi-I-s--- 50.00g lv_data01 100.00cvnv_3191856748 datavg swi-I-s--- 50.00g lv_data01 100.00 

Hi CV Experts,  We are on 11.32.59.As per default schedule DDBVerf configured in our environment. It is selected as Quick verification.But in 11.32 documentation, it is mentioned default schedule to run with “verification of existing jobs on disk”. https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/verification_of_deduplicated_data.html Kindly note,we have 1PB of data, so running ‘verification of existing jobs on disk’ shows estimated time to complete as more than one month.Can we run default schedule with Quick verification.Does it identify the corruption or missing in chunks on storage ? https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/data_verification_of_deduplicated_data.html

how can i select a date of copy to be replicated while performing failover , considier i have retention set 14 days , i want to do a failover with 7th day data , i dont see any option to select the restore point 

we have vmware vms hosted on HPE Alletra 9000 storage. Small vms are backed up using snapshot of the vms . The storage policy uses a global dedupe storage pool, so the current backups are copied to Hyperscale 1.5 storage libraries. the local snapshots disappear when the job completes.I understand that intellisnap backups can use the snapshot ability of the allatra storage array. We currently use multiple linux based physical hyperscale nodes as mediaagents which already have the mediaagent and vsa software built in.I expect that separate commvault subclients have to be setup in vcenter > vmware for each datastore that we would like to use an intellisnap backup? We have the alletra arrays configured in array management with all the mediaagents as access nodesMy questions are:1) would  the sub clients would use the HPE 3par snap engine? instead of the vcenter2) Some datastores host several large vms, how can a subclient that points to that datastore process such a large alletra datast

Hello All,During the commvault deployment in linux darksite, in installing third-package RPMS, we are facing cvmssql.tar.gz package installation failure. Can any one helpp us here. I tried on a onlne server as well. Facing the same issue.

Hi,Is VMWare Live Recovery supported from a NetApp SnapMirror/Vault destination that has SnapLock enabled.That is, is it possible to point the Live Recovery source copy to a SnapMirror/Vault copy?I am assuming that it “should” be possible as the data is presented via the MA back to the ESX host, and am looking for confirmation of this.CheersJon 

Hey all,Why would a random end user in AD show up as an associated user on a laptop that they have never logged into?The only backup data in that users profile is an Office Document Template.  This user was also only added after the laptop was upgraded to windows 11.Does anyone have any idea why?TIA,J

We have several branch offices which mostly have only one server for different purposes.These servers are also used as media agents with standalone tape drives.Some of these servers have USB-sticks installed which are needed for licensing purposes.Unfortunately this seems to have an impact on the way Commvault detects the access path of the tape drive.For example the tape drive is usually accessible on \\.\Tape0.When a USB-stick is installed its access path gets detected for the tape drive e.g. \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2.From the SCSI Scan it seems like the USB-stick is (virtually?) assigned to the same SCSI id as the tape. I tried configuring the drive without the USB installed, but after the next SCSI Scan occurs, it causes the access path to change again. Is there a way to correct this behaviour or stop new SCSI scans after the initial configuration?

Does these physical HP UX servers FS level backups are still supported in Commvault?RX7620 , HP-UX Ver11v2RX1620 , HP-UX Ver11v2As we know HPUX 11.2 is EOSL. As i checked in documentation.commvault.com it has its supported but with conditions, not able get full clarity. We have  requirement for data migration from HP DP to Commvault, so in that case, can we use 11.32 or 11.34 to get FS level backups on these machines? 

Hello All,I have migrated media agent to new media agent by using Replace MediaAgent App. Jobs completed succesfully and The new media agent is in Ready status and online. My question is how to move all DataInterfacePair (backup network) to new media agent. 

There is a test VM we created to test the script but it not being fetched while all the other VMs are being fetched the only difference is test VMs are not added in the domain   

Is there a way, additional setting or something like that, that could limit the number of jobs a backup copy workflow submits at one time? Running IntelliSnap on NetApp and when all of the copies kick off at once things get overloaded. Just wondering if there is a way to limit it. I know you can when you submit it manually, but the automated ones run max number of jobs.

Hello Team, We have on-Prem Exch 2019 and we decided to move o365.Do we have any best approach to use commvault to perform migration of Exch MBX to o365.Note: We use Exch DB agent to backup on-prem and no mbx agent configured.

Hi Experts,I was going through the document and came across data pipe and steams. wanted to understand whether data pipe and streams are same? or they are actually different. If anyone can highlight what exactly it makes difference. 

Hey all,Got some questions around tightening up security in our Commvault setup, especially by reducing reliance on AD. A customer of ours wants to limit exposure, so looking for some practical advice if anyone’s tackled this before. Here’s what we’re thinking: Separating from AD-Connected vCenter: If we pull Commvault away from an AD-connected vCenter, any gotchas or issues we should watch out for? Trying to keep everything functional while reducing risk. Dropping AD for Authentication: They want Commvault running on local creds instead of AD. If anyone’s switched from AD to local auth, were there any surprises or smooth enough? Taking Media Agents Off AD: If we decide to remove the Media Agents from AD, what kind of trouble (if any) are we walking into? Making Backups Immutable: They’re keen on having backups that can’t be deleted or messed with until a set expiry. Any tips for setting up immutability in Commvault that actually works? Locking Down Admin Access: Finally, only

Hi guys, one quick question.NetApp offers the feature to lock Snapshots to prevent deletion of it without the need of an SnapLock Aggregate. The feature is called “Tamperprrof Snapshot”.https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/snaplock/snapshot-lock-concept.html?q=TamperproofIs this feature supportet by Commvault?Could Commvault handle/manage the retention/lock of the snapshots on the ONTAP-level?For primay snap and snapvault copies.If not, what would be the best solution to keep the snapshots safe from deletion → SnapLock? RegardsJulian

I have a PureStorage NAS array. At the moment it’s carrying about 200Tb of video files. By the way if you ever heard that video files do not deduplicate vary well then I can confirm that. Our video is extremely repetitive. It’s camera footage of the same scene over and over. It’s not like a movie or anything like that, it’s more like endless footage of a conveyor belt for hours and hours. So even incredibly boring video images of the same thing does not deduplicate. Our deduplication rate on this PureStore device is basically zero.But that aside, i need to back it up. It’s all NFS exports that our Linux systems access. What is Commvault’s prescribed method for this? Do we dedicate a Linux host to the task and then backup the mount point on the Linux host? Or is there a better way?

Hello,In may license report there is number of Virtual Operating Instances and Protected Virtual Machines? What is the difference between them?Best regards,Elizabeta

Hi,I’ve runned the ComvertDDBTov5 workflow on prim and ext ddb:s on one of our two sites.The workflow has completed both times and all phases in the workflow is completed.Now I get:Error Code: [62:2479]Description: Library [ZZZZ], MediaAgent [xxxx], Drive Pool [DrivePool(xxxx)12], Media[]: Deduplication Database is currently under maintenance. Advice: Please complete the maintenance operation (DDB Resynchronization, Conversion to Transactional DDB, etc.) to bring the Deduplication Database back online.Source: yyyy, Process: JobManager Do the workflow complete but there’re jobs still running in the background?If yes, Where can I see if there’re jobs still running in the background? ( I don’s see any related jobs in the commcell console.)

when i try login to my commcell console i get this massage » Use of CommCell Console requires authorization for new deployments starting from Platform release 2024.

Hello everyone,We still have some questions regarding IntelliSnap. I’d like to confirm if auxiliary copies made with IntelliSnap always use SAN and what requirements are needed to enable this functionality.We appreciate your assistance. 🥺🙏🏽Thanks in advance!

Hello,I like to backup MSSQL server transaction logs within a server backup plan.  I assume that I need to install an agent for that on the VM hosting the MSSQL server. Thus running this transaction logs backup manually give s me the error: “Failed to start backups as no eligible subclients were found.”.Where can I download this agen?Thanks,Chris

Hello everyone,I have a question about changing the Media Agent where I have configured DiskLib using to this the disk from my array.Now I want to refresh the MA to a new one. Could I for example move DDB, Index to the new MA and then reassign the disk from the old MA to the new MA and it should work fine or is there another way to do it more securely
