When I try and restore a Notebook, I do not get a functional notebook that will open.  Are there other pieces that need to be restored in order to have it work properly?

Hi,I’ve searched the docs looking for Private Metrics Reporting server support on Linux OS, but I find support only for Red Hat/CentOS 7.7 which is pretty outdated so to say.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/3545_private_metrics_reporting_server_system_requirements.htmlAren’t there any never Linux releases supported for Private Metrics Server? Edit: I wanted to submit feedback to docs team but the “Submit feedback” button is not there anymore ☹️

Hi,I’m trying to restore backup of databases from our production SAP HANA database server to another physical server in our DR site but i’m getting the  error code: 19:599 Loss of control process ClSAPAgent.I have checked the param file in the DR server,CV_restCopyPrec and srcCrossclient is present. Communication between the commvault server in the DR and the DR Hana database server is ok. Any help to resolve the issue is much appreciated.

Hello! I know we can run scripts to validate applications (when using Application Validations for VMware VMs).Commvault has a few ready to use scripts (Oracle, SQL Server, MS Defender). Has anyone customized this MS Defender script to use another AV engine (like ESET, Symantec, Kaspersky, Trend Micro)? I heard that Veeam has a feature called Surebackup which kind of comes ready to use (checkbox) a few AVs instead of having to create custom scripts. Regards,Pedro

A customer approached us because he was seeing the following message.SQL Backup: Instance validation failed: Unknown error, please check CVD.log fileThe backup is running and the connectivity shows no errors.The name of the client is also unique.In the CVD log I could only find:5672 1514 10/26 16:10:29 ### ClientInterfaceNet::lookup() - Error: AppLookupClientWithHostName errorCode[1] message[Unable to lookup client with hostname.

Hello everyone, when I run the backup of the FSBasedBackupSet instance it returns the following error:Description: PostgreSQL Database: [~Exception in [PGFsBackup :: SetDBInBackupMode] Type:[POSTGRE_EXCEPTION] Msg:[Could not put the Cluster in backup mode]~] Data Backup Failed.Checking the commvault logs gives a timeout exactly 5 minutes after sending the command.This command can take up to more than 15 minutes... 1461668 164da4 11/06 11:13:23 735019 SetDBInBackupMode() - Executing query => SELECT pg_backup_start('pgida_backup_5432_735019_1699280003', false)1461668 164da4 11/06 11:13:23 735019 QueryPostgres() - Sent query [SELECT pg_backup_start('pgida_backup_5432_735019_1699280003', false)] to Server1461668 164da4 11/06 11:18:24 735019 QueryPostgres() - Failed to get query output from connection service I would like to know if there was a way to increase this timeout on the Commvault side.Do you know if this is possible?

Since upgrading to 11.32 (FR13) the Storage Utilization report is reporting incorrect / outdated information.Specifically the Library sizes and free space. It is also not updating when new Disk Libs are added.We use this report to monitor and plan for onboarding / provisioning of new storage.Could someone please share an XML that I can import? Or is anyone else having the same issue when using the Command Center?

Which is the better solution considering the Cost, Space, Dedup Parameters, Throughputs for a Primary Copy only?Primary Copy : With Daly incremental, Weekly Full, On Azure immutable with Dedup that is a mix of DDB Sealing, Data retains longer than my basic retention of 30 Days. (Aux - Full Backups later go to Azure immutable container) Primary Copy : With Daly incremental, Weekly Full On DD - with NO DEDUP, with basic retention of 30 Days. Later have the Full Backups Aux to Azure immutable Cloud.FYI : My Aux copy of Full backups will stay Azure immutable, there is no change in this concept.Just want to make sure having a DD for the primary copy daily backups would be beneficial considering the above parameters.Can you please help me decide 

I am using the CV Powershell module found on GitHub - Commvault/CVPowershellSDK: Developer SDK - Powershell.  I can successfully log into our Commvault server and run get-cvjob commands just fine so i know it is authenticating and working.  What I am having trouble with is using the command Get-CVSchedulePolicy.  When I just run it by itself, I get the output INFO: Get-CVSchedulePolicy: no policies found.  I have a ton of Schedules.  My goal is to disable an existing. Schedule Policy using the command Disable-CVSchedulePolicy.  I am using an account that has full Commvault permission, and I can do this in the Commcell Java client just fine.  What am I missing trying to see all the existing Schedule Policies and then disabling one of them via powershell?  I looked at this Get-CVSchedulePolicy (commvault.com) and tried various swithes.  Please help.

Hello again,my old pseudo was Bloopa, I have no access to my old account because it was disabled. I've changed customer and I had to create a new account. I use a selective copy to copy to tape all last fulls of the previous months.The current retention is 1 years. for the last copy of the year, I want to keep the data for 15 years. How to achieve that in a simple way.I see an option on the tape “un age Jobs” that allow to change the retention settings, but I am not sure if it is good. Thanks ! 

Hi Community,We are planning to convert our production environment’s DDBv4 to DDBv5, but in our test environment, all our media agents are in DDBv5. As the DDBv5 comes from the version 11.14, i am searching for a media kit package older than SP14 in order to test and validate.Is there Anywhere i can download a mediakit older than SP14 which is not available in commvault store ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,Some namespaces from the cluster are not visible in CommVault gui, so I can’t define an Application Group backup. ServiceAccount with cluster-admin role is created correctly, etcd is backed up, cluster is accessible from CV, except some namespaces. Any help would be appreciated.CV guikubectl get ns 

Good Day,Commvaut Intellisnap is currently using FlashCopy.This "Snap" feature is taking a clone of the volume so the scource volume is cloned at 100% of Space Usage on the array. Since some time there is a new ( i call it new ) feature implemented which is taking SNAPSHOTS. This will take only track of the changed bocks and not a full CLONE/COPY of the volume. "Spectrum Virtualize 8.5.1 added a new feature called Volume Groups Snapshots. This is a radically simpler method of taking snapshots than the current implementation of FlashCopy." Is there a impementation ongoing by commvault to utilize this much more nice feature or any ETA on this?  thanks

Hello Community, #1 Does Commvault provide support for subclient-level software encryption in Intellisnap for VSA VMware (MA/proxy RHEL 8.8)?#2 if it does, is the encryption performed on the MediaAgent, similar to streaming VSA backups.#3 Does the impact on production VM resources is minimized when employing Intellisnap for VMware with subclient encryption enabled?#4 Also, does enabling Commvault's software encryption result in approximately a 5-10% increase in CPU usage during snap backup? thanks

I have a question about the Shared Job Results folder as used by Office365 sharepoint.Here is my setup:2 access nodes, call them N1 and N2Both Access nodes have a Job results folder set to its own local local dedicated drive which is 150GB in size. In the Sharepoint client I have configured a shared job results folder on a CIFs share that is 1 TB in size and both N1 and N2 are added as access nodes successfully.  Here is the issue:When I perform a backup of sharepoint I notice the access nodes local job results drives get used and fill up causing some failures of sites and subsites in the backup. I notice the shared folder barely gets used, but it does get used. The error reported for the failed sites is “Space Control Job level timeout 60 minutes”Am I missing something, do I need to manually point the 2 access nodes Job results directories to use the shared folder manually as well? Or do I just need to grow the local drives. I am not sure I understand why the shared Job Results folder

Hello,I have backup of clustered file severer (WSFC). In Commvault it is represented by “cluster client”.I plan to convert my clustered fileserver to standalone fileserver and preserve server network name.Could you please suggest best options how to deal with Commvault client? Maybe there is way how to convert virtual client to regular client and preserve all backup history and name?Thank you!

Hello community,I try to find a way to migrate / move an Index Server from Node A to Node B (different Server).The Index Server has o365 data, so I cant wait to expire and also need them in order to run next backup jobs (from Node B). Any idea how to implement it?Thank you in advance,Nikos

I did ccm work after Commcell migration and I'm trying to recover using data from the mediaDo I need to check other Compell Reuse Media options to read them?Does enabling this option affect the data inside the tape? 

Hello,How do I get passed the 10000 object limit when doing a browse or job summary report?On the report it’s onlu allowing max 10000 lines, and in browse I can only see the firs 10000 objects, the other 3252 I have no idea on how I can see or select. Anyone have an idea? Surely I shoulden’t have to contact support about it.//Henke  

Hi Team,We have physical servers distributed across the globe, interconnected through our MPLS network. These servers are has the File System Core agent installed.The configuration on the agents is as follows: For our initial backup, we performed in the past a full copy against our mediaservers located at headquarters. However, to optimize data transfer and bandwidth, subsequent copies consist of a combination of incremental and synthetic copies.Periodically, every X years, we need to refresh the hardware on these servers due EOS. Our standard procedure involves migrating data from the existing server to the new one. Once the data migration is complete, we shutdown the current server and rename the new server to match the hostname and IP address of the old one.Before shutting down the current server, I follow these steps:Stop Commvault services on the current server. Copy the “Client Side Deduplication Database” - C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\iDataAgent\JobResults\CV_CLDB  t

i would like to know how to restore a file deleted from a fileserverThanks.
