Hi @Tinket 

The error message and the red arrow on the client icons suggests that backup activity is disabled on the client.

Please check the client properties, Activity Control tab, it looks from your screenshot that backup activity has been disabled at the client level, similar to:

 

You will need to re-enable activity.

Thanks,

Please also be aware that if you have the exchange DAG client ( https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/95951_creating_exchange_dag_client.html ) 

the individual nodes will be turned off by default so you do not grab multiples of the same data. 

 

Thanks,

@Tinket is hombx2 client part of either of the DAGs you have configured?

 

I can’t confirm the DAG pseudo client names as they are blocked by your text input, but they have the icon/look like the above screenshot ^ 
 

Can you please confirm by following these steps: 

Right click both of these DAG clients (one at a time) > properties > advanced > database member servers tab > 

 

 

If you see Hombx2 as part of either of the DAG clients, please remove it, apply the changes then see if you are then able to modify the activity control at the Client (Node) Level.
 

Please note, if this server is part of a DAG, you should leave it configured/as is and manage backups with the DAG client and not at the exchange ‘node’ level.

Hi @Tinket, sorry for the delay here.

Referring to this article: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=17028.htm

You have added both the exchange servers to the DAG node settings? (does it look like my screenshot sent earlier in this thread?)

If so, how is the subclient configured that is performing the backups? Is it set to automatic selection?

Please refer to: ​​​​​​ https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=17051.htm 

 

 

If you’re still having difficulty it may be worthwhile raising a case with support who can guide you remotely to ensure this is setup correctly.

Let me know the Ticket # if you do create a case and I’ll assist you.

Hey @Tinket , following up to see if @Chris Hollis ‘s advice worked, or if you needed to open an incident.

Let me know if you have a fic, or what the case number is.

Thinks!
