SQL upgrade required in FR25??

We just installed a brand new CommServe for testing and noticed it came along with SQL 2019. Now the documentation states the following:Note: Beginning in Feature Release 11.25, during the installation of the CommServe software or other server packages, Commvault installs Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition by default.  See: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/142606_upgrading_microsoft_sql_server_2016_standard_edition_to_microsoft_sql_server_2019_standard_edition.htmlNow as SQL 2019 is already installed by default as part of FR25 it to me raised the question if the note in the documentation actually indicates that it requires SQL 2019 to be installed. SQL 2012 R2 extended support is ending next year, so to me it would make sense to start informing customers that they should make plans to upgrade. Most likely you are also still running on Windows 2012 R2 so it would require a full refresh of both OS and SQL.Anyway I'm curious to hear if FR25 will require SQL 2019 to

Configuring DP Network on Hyperscale X 2.1

Hello, I'm currently testing the Hyperscale X 2.1 Reference Architecture deployment and i would like to know if it's possible to configure at 1GB, my network interfaces on Data Protection Network, because when I configure, he tells me " Encouterd error Interface should have at least 10GB" , but when I tested Hyperscale 1.5 Reference Architecture deployment, I was able to configure my interfaces to 1GB for the Data Protection Network without any problem.  So, I would like to confirm if it's possible to use my 1GB interfaces instead of 10GB with Hyperscale X 2.1 for the DPN. Please note that the other interfaces for the SPN and Replication will be on a 10GB link.

Reporting on single subclient growth and archive?

Good Morning, I have been asked to produce a report for a single subclient to show growth on our file server over time and the amount of data that is going into our archive. I’m a bit clueless how to do this, but I obviously know it is possible because I can see the data I want to report on. Any tips which report I should start editing so I don’t have to create everything from scratch? John

is there only one way to do daily aux copies to tape (inc's and weekly fulls)?

I know I should remember how to do this but I’ve failed to find the BoL doc which speaks to this objective. For a long time we’ve only done selective fulls to tape. Can someone remind me or point me to the directions for moving away from the selective fulls to “if the associated clients did an incremental last night, copy the incremental changes to tape, and if the client had a synth full run, copy that to tape as a full” -- in our case weekly synth fulls, no SILO of course. Does this require 2 separate aux copies in the SP? I don’t necessarily care about keeping the weekly full jobs on separate media, I’d actually just like to keep filling them day by day and have them age off accordingly.thanks

Restore from a physical machine

I have a Physical server running server 2016 and got the question to restore that server to a earlier state. Does anyone know how that is done in Commvault ?The server has full system and data backups. I know how to do VM restores but restoring a physical machine was never done.The restore should be done on the same physical server. Is this even possible ?
