Hi,During my attempt to access the Commvault Partner university site, I ran into an error while logging in.Best Regards

Would you ask the Commvault if they can increase the number of characters allowed in Commvault VSA subclient description field to 10,000 

Dear community,  I have a liveSync environment with 3 Commserve servers, After successfully upgrading from 11.32.59 to 11.32.69 , The sync among all nodes is OK but CS failover readiness report says that one node is not ready as the SQL version is not the same as the other nodes as below: Kindly advise me what to do to solve this issue BR

With the Big Data Apps Indexes that write to tape, what happens if the storage Policy is changed to write to disk ?  

hello am finding this on opening command center please advise on that 

If I add a “Premium SSD V2” disk to an existing Azure VM (or during creation of a new VM), backup fails with error message “Unable to create a virtual machine snapshot of [CL3]. [One or more errors occured]. Please check the virtual machine snapshot tree”.networkaccessAccessPolicy is “AllowAll”, publickNetworkAccess is “Enabled”. There is no problem with “Premimum SSD” disks.First I’d like to ask, if this type of disk is generally supported by Commvault backup. I can send a full log of the backup job.Commvault V2023E. Thank youJiri. 

Dear community,We need to configure the following components, in a Commvault environment that already backing up around 7,000 o365 users.Commvault Compliance (Legal Hold & Classification) Commvault Risk Analysis (Indexing)According to the documentation, in order to achieve that, we need to add the following Commvault components:INDEX for data classification plan (Case Manager) INDEX for data classification plan (Sensitive Data Governance) Content Analyser So, the question is if make sense to have only 1 X MediaAgent for all the above components (example D16ads_v5).1 INDEX for both Case Manager & Sensitive Data Governance data classification plans and same MediaAgent could be also Content Analyser.Please for your feedback.Best regards,Nikos

Hi all,I don't find in the documentation the way to enable the preview of the discovered document. However, I remember a call with the DEV in which they told me that there was the possibility to enable it. 

is there any way to retake the exam? can anyone help

Hello Experts, We are in the process of replacing the Storage of primary backups and would like to take expert opinion before proceeding further. Our storage policy have StoreOnce as a primary copy (retention 30 days) and Tape library (retention 10 years) for the secondary copy. Going forward we want to replace the StoreOnce with Hyperscale-X for primary copy. The data on StoreOnce is copied to tape and we want to leave the StoreOnce for next 30 days to allow the data to expire. Now the questions are If we modify the storage policy and replace the StoreOnce with HSX, will we be able to restore the data on StoreOnce in next 30 days if required? If we create a new storage policy, how can we move the catalog of Tape from old policy to new policy? What is the best approach for this ?Appreciate your suggestions on this 

Hi everyone,What impact will enabling WORM Storage Lock with full proof have on disk space before and after its activation?Thanks.

Dears I have many tapes kept for only one un-aged jobs and I plan to perform tape refresh on specific tapes picked manually.When I try to enable media refresh on storage policy copy level I see the parameters for auto picking tapes.How to bypass these parameters ?

Hi Team,can please someone explain the different options for the Optype parameter from the SimCallWrapper.exe?1000 - this is “register client”, as documented.1001 - is this an uninstall?1002 - remove existing configuration?1003 - ?100xThanks,Johannes

As I understand the Intellisnap backup copy process: we have virtual proxywill mount the SS (storage snapshot) to ESX host (proxy ESX host) from the backup that had run will it register a temp vm  if the proxy vm resides on the same proxy esx host; it will use hot-add wherein it will attach the vmdk on the storage snapshot in step a and read the data via the guest OS and push it to MediaAgent on the appropirate guest vm network however if the proxy VM is on a diffrent esx host; it will use nbd to copy the data and send data to MediaAgent  My question is if say that proxy is engaged in backup copying more than 1 vms which are on different datastores and someone runs the same Intellisnap backup a. will the intellisnap backup fail as there is a proxy VM which has disks across 2 different datastores.   

Hi everyone,I activated compliance lock on a storage policy, which prevents me from deleting any backup data linked to that policy. Afterward, I created a new library & Storage pool with a different storage policy, but I'm still using the same subclient as before. Given this new setup, why am I still unable to delete backup data after backing up new content?Thanks. 

Would you add the ability to check multiple folders in different drive letters of the same server to restore from using Command center ?

I was using commvault 2 years back, joined an organisation who were using a diffrent product.  Now I am at a new company using Commvault.  Just want to check How do I refresh and is there a way to refresh the certification  Is there a way to move my profile Commvault Certified Professional  with my certification  Are there any resources available to brush-up skills 

Hi Commvault Community,I am writing to inquire about releasing space on a storage unit previously used for backups. Here is the context:The library was configured on a QNAP unit as a network shared folder. A Storage Pool was created for the deduplication database, and a Storage Policy was associated with it. All three elements (library, Storage Pool, and Storage Policy) have been deleted to clean up the shared folder. However, despite considerable time passing, the storage has not been freed up. Manual deletion of the folder contents is also not permitted.Steps Taken:Deleted the jobs in the Commvault console, but the shared folder still shows "Size on disk." Performed data verification and Space Reclamation; however, no storage was released. Deleted the deduplication database, but the folder information was not cleaned up. Attempted to manually delete the folder contents, but security permissions prevented this, even with the administrator account. Deleted the library, Storage Pool, an

 Hi Team,According to the info below, I would expect Commvault to create a new DDB Store for the Database, but it did not. Are there any other criteria that are not matched for creating a new DDB Store? Any idea why this might be? Is there a way to manually create a DDB Store for the Database? Version: 11.32.65     

Hello, I already perfomed SP to PLAN migration but I want to know the difference between :creating a new server plan or converting an existing SP.Is there some limitations when converting to plan instead of creating a new one ? Thanks !  

Hello i would like to know when studying for CommVault Engineer Course is it best to study onsite or Virtual and do they differ in prices  and if it is in Kenya and is onsite where do the classes occur

Hello,In one location i have two MAs(media agents) with local storage, each MA has:1. SSD storage for DDB (two disks in RAID1 array), single logical disk2. HDD storage for library (multiple disks in RAID6 array), single logical diskSo, I have two options:A. Create two Deduplication storage pools, one per server and manage how agents are spread between those pools manually. With this approach I'm familiar on practice, it is not very convenient to mage such setup. But i clearly understand how jobs and clients are spread between MAs and what happens if one of servers will fail.B. Create one big Storage pool with both MAs in grid, library paths will be shared between MAs using DataServerIP transport in read mode, pool will have common DDB with two partitions(one per MA). I'm not familiar with such setup and don't know potential downsides.So, questions regarding option (B):1. How agents and jobs are spread between MAs? How Commvault makes decision which local storage path to use, on MA1 or

Hi Commvault gurus! I have the following question. We need to test disaster recovery situation when loosing all infrastructure and having only tape backup available. Then, which option we should choose in CommServe Recovery Assistant - staging or recovery? As said, we just want to simulate disaster recovery situation and try to restore CommServe and couple of client in order to be prepared for such situation.What is the difference between Staging and Recovery option? I know, that when using Staging, all Backup activity is disabled, but of course it could be changed manually, couldn’t be?Is there any other pitfall, we should keep in mind? Or any other best practice guidelines supporting following:https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/testing_commserve_failover_using_disaster_recovery_dr_backups.html - it is fine study material, but let’s consider we lost all infrastructure, we have just only the tapes with backups :Dhttps://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/testing_commser
