Hi,Just a quick question on the Bonded Topology for HyperScale X Reference Architecture.I can see from the BOL that the Storage Pool IP Address should be resolvable to the CommServe server !! Is this a new setting ? I have seen HSX config’s where the storage pool ip address is on a 192.168 range and the CommServe on a 10.10 range with no second nic for a 192.168 range. Thanks  

Hello,Could you say please, if I have Cloud storage in Azure, it is accessed by local MA with local DDB.Are there any optimization's during direct restore from cloud? I mean, if you have 10 TB application , that consumes 3 TB of cloud storage due to deduplication optimization's, how big amount of data will be read during restore?Thanks!

Hello,I have a client that is backed up as a virtual instance plus a native SQL agent. Now I’d Like to change that and remove from virtual and add a File&Systems agent. Though it seems it is already installed, as seen below, but I don’t see the agent under the client.Is there a way to add the license for it? I can’t reinstall it it seems since it’s already there? Anyone know how I should proceed?BRHenke      

We are currently looking into enabling the PassKey feature for one of our ‘Companies’ associated to our Multi-Tenant CommCell.The feature meets all the requirements to allow us, as the MSP, to support the customer from a BAU perspective without being able to view the sensitive data we will be backing up.However, I need to explicitly know that if the customer who will hold the Passkey loses this, can it be recovered from the CSDB?The customer will enter the passkey via remote session so as the MSP we will not have any record of it but need to be able to provide a solution in the event they misplace the Passkey.Thanks in advanced

Hi, We have a situation with filled up DDB drives in a 3-MA grid setup. XL-sized MAs but with 1.3TB DDB NVMe (should be 2TB according to sizing recommendations). The reson for the large DDBs seems to be due to a customer backing up a lot of small files that deduplicate quite well, we see between 25-30 billion secondary records and 2.7 billion unique records on the File DDB partitions. 94-95% dedup and performance is exceptional good with this amount of data in the Storage Pool, 60-70µs and ca 660TB. We also see pruning working as lowering retention also reduces the secondary records and give us GB back on the DDB volumes. We have two options in this hardware…We can expand the DDB volumes by concatenating (in Windows) another 1.3TB NVMe to the existing one, giving us 2.6TB on the DDB drives. Add one, two or three additional DDB-partitions (one per server) to the DDB, placing them on the extra, available 1.3TB NVMe (MAs in extended mode with 6 DDB partitions, each on a dedicated drive) A

Hello,We are using a shared commcell, but we need to send tape backup to a customer.We was thinking about restore a commserv DR backup on an other server, and then keep it on customer side in case of restore.But we don't know if we need a licence on the restored commserv and if we can run on both in same time.Or maybe you could know an other solution to ensure that tape backup can be used by customer without issue.
