Commvault topics

Following the rather vague process at Enabling Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) on an Existing CommServe LiveSync Setup (commvault.com) for enabling TDE on a LiveSync configuration.Using the process here How to configure Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in SQL Server (sqlshack.com) on the Primary CommServe it’s a relatively simple task to generate a Master Password, Cert, Encryption key and apply it on all Commvault databases AFTER turning off LiveSync.Copy the Cert to the secondary CommServe, and using same process after recreating the cert in SQL and Encryption keys apply encryption to “some” of the CommVault databases. However 4 Databases including the CommServ database are in the “Restoring” state and encryption cannot be applied to them. I believe they are in the "Restoring" state due to the log shipping configuration?Only way to do so was run the RESTORE DATABASE [CommServ] WITH RECOVERY to change the state of the Database and then apply the encryption settings. Problem is that

Hi there,I just have a question about the Unusual file activity. When I go there I can see the graph and the graph also shows the Deleted Files including how many filers were deleted and the date they got deleted. So, Is it possible to see the details for that? Or generate a report for that? Thank you.

Is the any reason for the NDMP Properties button to be greyed out on a netapp that was added to array managment?  I am able to take a snap backup, when the back copy runs I get the following messageError Code: [39:28]Description: Please enter NDMP credentials for client:[myNetapp].Source: cvcs2, Process: NasBackup However, the NDMP Properties button is greyed out so I cannot add the credentials there.

I have a customer with a deprecated Commvault environment that’s on V11 SP10. They no longer use the environment and want to recover Mailbox Classic Data.I’m seeing a strange issue, where I cannot recover multiple mail messages (and by default entire mailboxes) if there are attachments in the mail. If I recover messages with no attachment, then I can recover them into a PST file.The error I see is:Looking at the logs, the restore job is trying to reference a DDB ID that isn’t available under Storage Resources. I suspect it may have been deleted at some point (the system has been inactive for a few years).The active DDB’s are all online and accessible.My understanding is that a DDB isn’t required for a recovery operation, but it seems to be causing issues with mails that contain attachments.  I configured the MA (which also hosts the DDB’s) to be the target for the PST recovery to avoid any impact on their Production environment and new backup solution, so recoveries are ‘local’. Is the

Hello to all,Because is not clear for me in documentation, I would like to find if Commvault (not Metallic) support:In-flight encryption At rest encryptionThank you in advance,Nikos

Hello,Is there a way to exclude DDB + Index server backups from a Synchronous secondary copy ?Some Additional setting that will do the job ? Thanks

HiDoes anyone know if there are any restrictions in the workflow engine regarding the use of temporary tables in the CommservDBQuery activity? In the SSMS the query works fine.  When I run the above SQL query in the debug mode, I don’t get any output: I also tried to use a table as variable, which did not work either.The workflow engine runs on a dedicated server. Could this cause the issue? Thanks for your inputsMichael

when the backup initiated what’s happen scan phase, backup phase, Archive phase and index phase, what will happen if once failed. 

Hi,We are currently running Commvault in a VM 11.20.168 on Windows Server 2019, and also using a FREL.As the title states, I would like to upgrade the Commvault release from 11.20.168 to the latest version 11.32, and also the Windows Server version. We have 4 instances that I maintain, and it is a closed network (I have to download the update files and transfer them over).This VM was previously running Windows Server 2012R2 but I upgraded our instances to Windows 2019. I could just do an in place upgrade again to 2022, but maybe it is best to make a new VMs. Please share your thoughts and recommendations.

I would like to know if there is a report on backed up VMs and Filesystem divided into quantity by operating system.Similar to VM Backup Health and Fileserver Backup Health but with both reports together.I don't know if I explained it correctly

Hello all.If like me you’re in the unenviable position of having to still protect some 2003 clients even though they are long deprecated, and after a reboot despite CV services running they just won’t communicate, try adding the nAllowOlderClients setting from here:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/3605_installing_clients_with_deprecated_operating_systems_or_applications_on_windows_computers.htmlThis has worked for me.  I didn’t need to change anything on the client itself.

Hello, TeamI am having the issue below while installing fresh commserve.Failed to install PythonModules(PythonModules) with error code 0x80070001.We have ensure patches are up to date and all?Can you suggest what the issue could be? 

I have backup data with a retention of one month; what will happen to my backup data or what is the next procedure to bear in mind or take into consideration, if my retention is ending or about to end?

We have a media agent with low disk space alerts going off (on the OS disk), all the usual suspects only returned a few GB of free space.After analyzing the media agent’s OS disk, the JobResults folder is 192GB (55.2GB on disk), one of the largest offenders.Can this folder safely be relocated to give it some more breathing room?This seems to mention clients however at the same time does not mention media agents.If I move the JobResults location, will it potentially nuke the media agent and all jobs/indexes too?https://documentation.commvault.com/11.21/expert/6588_changing_path_of_job_results_directory.htmlThanks everyone!

Hi Folks, I have a customer with Ex Server and ExArchiving in place who started migrating EXMB to ExangeOnline. Stubrecall works after MailBox migration to ExOnline. Question is, is there an elegant way to recall all the messages from the Archiv into the ExOnline Mailboxes?Any hint is very appreciatedThanksThomas

So these deployments have been a real hassle won’t get into previous details but the current one hsxsetup wizard will not finish forming a storage pool. Main difference with this one is we used a known service account and password to authenticate with the Commserve instead of the code method in Command Center(account has Master permissions and more on the Commserve) Logs say the account is not an issue and according to Commvault the cluster is formed(3 nodes) and the nodes are registered in the Commserve as MA’s(they have duplicate dedup engines but Commvault tells me this is normal. You can see this from the Commserve you can also see an offline storage pool in the library with no delineated volume information and an error message on the properties saying the setup has not completed. The Commvault Engineer has been loathe to recommend running a cleanup as he feels it would leave things behind they would have to walk me though manually. This case has been with Development for more than

Dumb Question, but  I don't want to have to have my systems team argle bargle. Media Agents have to be physical servers, correct? I am assuming there shouldn't be a reason why it cannot be a virtual machine, but before I put my foot in my mouth (tasty btw) I want to see what the community best practice is.
