Hello! I am running VMware VM backups via SAN transport mode. Several of the VMs have virtual RDMs. I would like to exclude them from the VSA backup and run them via FS iDA inside the VM.  How to achieve that? Regards,Pedro

Why would only one Destination Media Agent be used?

Hi Team, Quick question hopefully. So if I have a partitioned GDSP. Two MA’s, one partition each.Reading from storage which is mapped locally (preferred) to one Media Agent, and then accessed by the alternate MA by Mount Oath sharing (set to read-only if it is not local). The target storage is up in the cloud. Two two ma’s have read-write access. I have my SP’s running of it, with the Data Paths set as Round-robin. For reasons unknown, when my Aux Copy runs, it is only using one of the Media Agents as a Destination Media Agent. Subsequently, one of the ma’s runs pretty hot, the other one does not. But so far, I can’t see any reason why this would be the case.To make it even more confusing, some of the Cloud mount paths have the preferred setting applied to them, but the Aux is not using it (not actually sure if its’ supposed to?). So at the moment, I literally have 50 streams running, two MA’s in the DDB config, but only one MA being used for the Destination MA. Has anyone seen this be

Configuring Privacy on Group or Plan level

Hi, Following documentationhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/97847_privacy.htmlit’s possible to configure Privacy on Commcell or Company level, but recently customer made a case that this won’t be ideal in their environment and they would rather apply it on user group or plan level. Since documentation doesn’t mention it, I assume it’s not supported, but wanted to ask here anyway in case there is some hidden magic setting that allows it. So I guess the question is: is it possible?

Assignig devices to plans

Hi, There is an option to assign users or users group to a plan, but recently customer made a case that they are more device-centric then user-centric when it comes to assigning new devices to employees. They asked if it’s possible to assign devices to plans based on hostnames rather then users/owners. I would really want to help here, but I’m not aware of such option. Please let me know if it’s possible or not.

SQL Server Windows authentication mode

Hi Community,I have a question about the CommServ SQL server DB connections . When the SQL server authentication mode is modified from mixed-mode to Windows authentication mode, i can read the following in the below article :“Note: When you upgrade the Commvault software to a new version or a new service pack, you must change all Commvault services to use a domain system administrative account.”Windows Authentication for Commvault SQL Server Connectionsit means that if SQL are configured in Windows authentication mode, after an upgrade Commvault will automatically reset the SQL server authentication to mixed-mode ?regards,Christophe

Migration of existing media agents to existing -- different-- commserve

Fun times ahead- I am over having multiple commcells per enviroment. It served its purpose but now with consolidations complete- I am ready to bring everything into a single commcell. So - I have read and used migrating media agent to new hardware documentation many times. Same with commcells-- but now… I am wanting to move the media agent- with all the jobs and clients-- to a new commcell. Would a seperation be the best approach? Is this possible? I am sure the instance has something to do with it -but looking for good examples. Anyone else done this? Thoughts on what you would do different? Lets talk!

Seeking Best Practices and Validated Designs for Cloud Workload Backup with Commvault in Azure VMware Solution (AVS)

I am currently gathering information for a backup solution for a significant cloud workload involving 400 virtual machines in an Azure VMware Solution (AVS) environment using Commvault. The workload is expected to grow up to a thousand instances over time. The VM instanes are spread across two clusters in two AZ’s probably set up in Stretch Cluster mode.While I understand that the specific storage tiers and scale may vary based on workload characteristics, change rates, and disk space usage, I am seeking a reference or general guidance that can assist in designing the environment effectively.Here are the specific aspects I'm interested in: Storage Libraries: What are the best practices for storage libraries when using Commvault with AVS for a cloud workload of this scale? Are there any general recommendations regarding the use of performance tiers for primary copies and lower-cost storage tiers for secondary/tertiary copies in AVS?

Azure Data box disk for copy data.

Hello, Today we would like to order some external device from Azure to copy the data between Azure and local site. Azure provide two options: -Azure Data Box Disk-Azure Data Box. According to documentation Commvault support the second option, link to documentation: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/97276_migrating_data_to_microsoft_azure_using_azure_data_box.htmlbut how does it look for the first option. We have network connection built on 1 Gb/s which should be so slow to send 30 TB of data. So maybe better option is Azure Data Box disk which can be connected by USB slot. Regards, Michal
