Hi,when I want to restore a VM with vTPM module, the certificate changes when I switch on the VM and I have to enter a recovery keywhat is the correct way to restore a VM with TPM module correctly? Are there any settings missing here or is there something that needs to be taken into account on the VMware side? 

Need to delete folder from 800 clients?Same folder  location and name for all clients.

Our devops team have a test that validates the commvault client group with below powershell command../qoperation execscript -sn GetClientGroup.sql -si cg=$group | Select-string -Pattern "^$(hostname)$"They execute that command inside the E:\\Program Files\\CommVault\\Simpana\\Base.The file 'GetClientGroup.sql' no longer seems to be in the E:\\Program Files\\CommVault\\Simpana\\Base folder. So our test is failing.Do you have any idea on how we can validate commvault client group via powershell or any other way.Thank you!! 

Hi All,I have completed the Professional Foundations course and Professional self paced course and received my Professional Badge. I also completed the Advance Configuration course and received the Advanced badge.My issue is that I am unable to see any of these in my Commvault learning dashboard and if I click on Detailed view, it says there is no matching Education Advantage account. Where can I see my Certifications to provide to my employer? Many thanks,Rich

We have large RDS SQL server in our environment and currently backup is not using multifile option and backup is very slow. I check the AWS documentation, it says that for large large database it support multifile backups.Importing and exporting SQL Server databases using native backup and restore - Amazon Relational Database Service Amazon S3 has a size limit of 5 TB per file. For native backups of larger databases, you can use multifile backup. example:Example of multifile backup exec msdb.dbo.rds_backup_database @source_db_name='mydatabase', @s3_arn_to_backup_to='arn:aws:s3:::mybucket/backup*.bak', @number_of_files=4; My question is Does Commvault support (v11.32) multifile backup for RDS SQL server. Best Regards  

Is there any down time associated with performing a a ‘live recovery’ for a VM(s)?i.e.- complete a ‘live recovery’ job for VM1. During or afterwards, any negative affects or downtime on VM1? 

Hello Team,We are going to implement new Commvault backup solution.Currently the backup solution running VM's image backup and application like SQL, Oracle and Exchange is configured agent based.SQL DB -  Always-On & Failover cluster (both configuration is available). Going to new Commvault solution will use below mentioned configuration.Will take entire Image backup.  Will take image with application-aware backup also. For SQL Always-on what is the best practice will follow the VM's with application-aware (each SQL AG group will create job and include VM's in part of AG). What is the backup configuration of SQL using Windows failover VM's (is it supported application aware backup).  

I want to fetch the job details by  “job started by” and “job started from” job started by will give the admin/system who started the joband job started from will give started by schedule or manual or gui etc. Motive is to get the job details with the schedule details as well such that I can filter out only scheduled jobs excluding manually initiated jobs. Can someone please help me to get the details form csdb , I am not able to find which db and which table to search for these details.

Hello all,I have personal and shared folders on my file server. These folders contain different types of files. I want to archive files that haven't been accessed for 2 years by creating shortcuts, and I want to delete files that haven't been accessed for more than 4 years without creating shortcuts. I want to perform these actions across the entire file server, but I also want to exclude some subfolders where I may need to apply different policies based on user requests. How can i achieve this scenario? Any comment will be appreciated. 

Hello Commvault Community,  Is there any official list for "simOSid" for the SetVMOSInfo qscript?https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/setvmosinfo.html We don't know what the "simOSid" parameter is for. As I understand it will take some numerical value that isn’t described anywhere.We want to change a misrecognized OS for a virtual machine for oVirt. Thanks,Kamil

Hello,I have a VM that has a pass through PCi device configured (GPU).I need to backup this VM.As  snapshots cannot be taken and CV agent cannot be installed due to network restrictions, I thought of turning off the VM before backup.There I have a couple of questions:Which technology will the pre-script use: ssh to ESXi Host, Rest-API to Vcenter or Powercli from media agent?Where is the script hosted? On the VSA=mediaagent or on the ESX Host?Are there any examples available?. I did not find anything on the net.Thanks for the support

We have an ongoing issue spread to multiple of our media agents. The problem is manifesting randomly.Sometimes (rarely), during DDB backup we see multiple messages like this in event viewer:63224:CVODS.exe:Failed in acquiring the lock on file [C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Log Files\PerformanceMetrics.log] Module [PerformanceMetrics] Error[0x80070306:{CQiLogger::LockLockfile(1403)} + {CQiLogger::LockLockfile(1397)/W32.774.(One or more errors occurred while processing the request.

Hi All, we are running 11.28.97 now we have 2 servers with windows file agent and we are getting vss problems: RROR CODE [17:176]: Failed to create VSS snapshot required to run system state backup. System state backup is skipped. VSS error [[0x80004005 2147500037] Unbekannter Fehler]. Please refer VSS Event logs for more details. After reboot the backup runs fine maybe 1 day maybe 3 days its different.  When we check the vss writer and provider status it looks fine. Also the windows eventlog did not show any problems. i also checked the hotfix lists without any hint.

Dear All,  Our mails and attachments are archived via enterprise vault and it will leave a shortcut to open it. Somehow we lost all the shortcuts in our mailbox. Is it possible to restore enterprise vault shortcuts from Commvault exchange (DAG) backup?Please let me know. Thank you.  Best regards, Rajes

Hi All, A bandwidth issue is currently affecting production network communications. This problem takes place during the backup period.In order to optimize our backup capacity, we are considering the configuration of dedicated ESXi Hosts for non-production backups.Since commvault uses vcenter to take snapshots of VMs, will these snapshots be taken across all ESXi Hosts, despite us having dedicated ESXi Hosts specific to commvault?Our goal would be for snapshots to be taken on all ESXi Hosts, but only dedicated hosts can transfer snapshots to the media agents. Our fear is that the vcenter will migrate the vmachines in the queue to the dedicated Hosts in order to take snapshots of the VMs.. which is to be avoided. Thanks!
