I’m currently running 11.30.64 and tried to download 11.34.5 but after 40 minutes the job reported 0% progress.  I killed the first download job and am now trying to download 11.32.35 and it also seems to be going nowhere.  Is anyone else having problems downloading patches?Ken

HelloMy VSA proxy server has issues communication with the media agent. cvping works, and also test-netconnection. The media agent has 2 NIC, admin and backup. Admin network is not reachable for the VSA proxy. There are 2 DNS records for the media agent.mediaagent.domain.net and mediaagent.backup.domain.netNot sure if it matters but the media agent is registered in the commcell with the admin hostname, mediaagent.domain.net Anyway we have created DIP and backup networks so the VSA proxy actually tries to connect to the correct IP address. But in cvfwd.log I get the following: ######## ######## Switching fd=952 to non-blocking modeConnecting fd=952 to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403Completing connect() for fd=952Successfully connected to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403=> HTTP/1.1 POST xx.xx.xxx.12:8403ERROR: cvfwd_iot_wait(): Socket READ failed.

Hi Team,So our team have made a temporary third copy that is syncing from our primary copy, and we want to stop the syncing because the storage of the third copy is already full.My questions are:Is there any way to stop the synchronization of my primary and temporary third copy without disabling the Third Copy?  If I disable the active status of this third copy, will I still be able to restore backups from the third copy?

Hi, As I’m not really finding an answer in the documentation, I’m checking here if somebody knows.I would like to know if there exists a way to add exceptions to Selective Copies.Let’s say I wanted to copy all Monthly Backups to tape, except for example the first month of the year. I don’t see an “automated” way to do this. I could select the “Do not Automatically select jobs” and do it manually, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Is there any way to do this? Thanks

Hi Support Team, We are running backups daily, weekly and monthly to disk library.

Hi! We’re slowly planning some upgrades to our Commvault installasjon, where we’re planning to go from 11.24 to 11.32 (which i understand can be done with a direct upgrade from .24 to .32)….. but we also plan to upgrade the Commvault MSSQL installasjon, which is currently an older MSSQL versjon, The question is, should we upgrade the DB first, or Commvault ? Any recommendation ?

Hi Guys, We got a new SAN Storage, which is fully dedicated for backup. Since it's an FC Storage, we’ll present the LUNs to MediaAgents agents through SAN Switches. Our concern is about High Availability for MediaAgents regarding SAN. Is it possible to implement Gridstor through SAN ? We’ve already done that in the past with Object storage through mount path sharing. We now are wondering if this is feasible also through FC. Since SAN configuration implies Zoning configuration through SAN switches and LUNs are mounted locally into each MediaAgent. Overall, that's our need, being able to back up and restore through the SAN storage with 2 different MediaAgent and having some sort of HA in case of a failure of any MediaAgent. Any recommendations regarding this configuration would be appreciated. Kind regards.

Hi Vaulters, We have all our Storage policies Primary copies being backed up to our main backup Disk Library while the data being Deduped. We acquired a new Tape Library and wanted to use it as a storage for secondary copies, i.e., we want to create a secondary copy for each Storage Policy using the Tape Library. Our main concern is the Deduplication, how the secondary copy to Tape handles the Deduplication on the Main disk Library ? Does the Dedupe cause any issue ? Regards.

Hi there, Does anyone have experience enabling VMWare ESXi Lockdown Mode (Normal or strict) and how it interacts with CommVault VSA backups for VMWare? Customer has a mix of SAN direct, NBD, and HotAdd (via proxy) backups. Thanks!

Hi, maybe you have an idear: We have clients with 6 or more subclients. The Client is using windows file backup agent.  Al jobs are shown completed and no failed files or folders. But sometimes we getting this message: ERROR CODE [7:331]: High amount of data to be processed in FailedFilesRetry phase is observed with bulk of the data coming from big files that can be more efficiently processed by enabling optimized backups via extent level. Review documentation to proceed.Source: XYZ, Process: clBackup (Error Lookup Site: http://kb.commvault.com/#!/?q=%227:331%22) For some subclients it is daily for the subclients its random. And all subclients are very small maybe they have 20Gb inc change rate. 

 I have several subclients created in the vmware client and I need to backup several subclients on the same tape
