DB2 backup size is 25TB, separate on 16 disks. I saw below article.Q1, any suggestion on maximum number of concurrent parallelism queries for my 25TB DB2 restore?You can improve restore operation performance by using parallelism.If the database contains a large number of table spaces and indexes, you can perform a restore operation more quickly when you set a maximum number of concurrent parallelism queries. This takes advantage of the available input/output bandwidth and processor power of the DB2 server.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/using_parallelism_for_enhancing_db2_restore_performance_01.htmlQ2, any suggestion on the number of buffers and buffer size for 25TB DB2 restore?ou can improve the performance of restore operations of backup images by increasing the number of buffers.https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/setting_db2_buffers_for_restore_01.html

Hello,in a workflow for automated mail restore from a Exchange DB, I need the parameter folderTag and mailboxTag. How I can request/get this values for a specific user from a recovery point? As part of the recovery point creation and mining, I can see the edb file info and  folderTag/mailboxTag of user within the Exchange database, in the Commvault logs…  but the logs roll over, so no source to grab the parameter for the specific user. Thx, Kay

I am reaching out regarding an issue I have encountered while attempting to use Commvault 11.32.35, specifically with the Command Center.I have followed the installation process diligently, including the implementation of .NET version 3.1.32 as instructed. Unfortunately, the Command Center is not responding as expected.To address this issue, I also attempted the installation using .NET version 8, but the results were equally unsatisfactory.I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. If there is any additional information I can provide or any specific recommendations you may suggest, I would be more than happy to follow your guidance.Thank you in advance for your time and support on this matter.Best regards,Ferox
