We want to share an upcoming change applicable to Metallic customers who are using VM V1 indexes. If you see an in product notification about this upgrade then this FAQ is applicable to your environment.This is a backend upgrade process with no direct impact to customer operations. This upgrade greatly improves the overall backup and restore efficiency. Below is an FAQ regarding the upcoming V1 to V2 migration plus links to additional documentation. What is the purpose of this update?Customers were asking for better control of operations with individual VMs, configuration of security settings for individual VMs, and other related VM improvements. VM V2 indexed client will enable those improvements for the customers.Please see the documentation for additional details on the V2 indexing feature. What is changing with this update?The Metallic team is migrating the indexes of V1 hypervisor clients on all Metallic rings to V2.

Is there a matrix or something that commvault supports for nic drivers for certain hardware for their intellensnap workflo? seeing PDL’s on the hosts during snap volume unmount and its causing issues with my virtual host. Anyone else see this? There is some firmware updates available- but not sure if they are reccomended etc. Thoughts?

Hi,We are going to refresh our Commserve server to a new hardware, but we are looking if its possible to deploy its DB on different SQL server. We searched Commvault documents but all deployment procedures found are to deploy DB on the same server. 

We currently have a 10TB SAP Oracle DB on-prem, BR-Tools backup to a local disk is taking 4 hours.How to achieve the same backup completion time for the same DB in a Azure resource group to another resource group?

Hi I was wondering how we disable Authentication for Agent InstallationIt shows as greyed out in commcell, I am aware this feature offers extra protection I would just like to disable it whilst we install multiple servers. 

I’m going through a design process for HyperScale X Reference Architecture, and have found the page in documentation for the HyperScale Input Validator:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/137367_hyperscale_input_validator.htmlThis mentions to download the tool from the Commvault Store on the following link: https://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/150/720However, I can’t find the tool in the store even by searching.  Is it possible that this tool can be re-published?

Hello We are planning an Commvault upgrade from FR11.24.xx to FR11.28.5X. We still have a lot of 2012 servers and SQL2012 servers. Wat would be better? Let the agent on win 2012 on FR11.24.9x,  or upgrade the clients to 11.26.xx.Commvault 11.26.xx is the last Commvault version that supports Windwos 2012 and SQL2012.  If we use additional setting we could upgrade the client to FR11.26.xx  Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone, Hope doing good !! I would like to download a trail version of an commvault which is 30 days, for one of my site i went through the link below and unable to see the option of download free trail.https://www.commvault.com/trials/ can some help me to download a trail version please.

I have a customer that is looking for clarity on a port requirement question(s) Scenario:2 sites primary and secondary site A Primary site B DR Data backups from site A to B (Aux\Dash copy synchronous)  Commserve LiveSync  enabled Requirement if site A goes down that site B will need to recover all the VSA VM backups from site B copies of site A bkups. The question is what ports need to be opened to accomplish this since there will be a firewall between the two sites. Will all traffic need to be bidirectional or can some of the port connections be established solely with one way connection? I did point them to the commvault documentation:https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/7102_port_requirements_for_commvault.htmlbut there was some confusion on their part and want to validate required ports for:LivesyncAUX copy data traffic from site A to BMedia Agent data from site A to site BCommunication ports from Commserve to secondary site.  

Is there any uninstaller or cleanup tool available for commvault windows clients.Many times, it is impossible to clean the traces which creates a lot of problems.

We have a customer that is asking about backing up NetIQ eDirectory, and if it is supported by Commvault. It seems as though it is, leveraging the OES File System Agent: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/19892_backup_oes_file_system_idataagent.html Can you confirm this is the case? Also, the customer is asking if there is any documentation that explicitly describes support for NetIQ eDirectory, and on how to specifically configure backups and restores for it. We cannot seem to find any documentation on this. Would you be able to provide any info? Thanks!

Can we spin up Commvault components on bare metal instances in hyperscalers.Any documentation link or references would helpLeena   

HiWe use disk caching feature for our SQL and SAP Hana log backups. As destination we have a Hyperscale X cluster. Now I’m not sure what happens when I want to perform maintenance for a node or if one goes offline. Does anyone have experience with this?Thank you

We need to upgrade the SQL version on the webserver not sure on the steps to do so. 

Decided last minute that I wanted my last cluster of hyperscales on another comcell. Quickest way without formatting , re-deploy etc?

We had a media agent that was recently decommissioned. The location in which the media agent was located was shut down. The server was shipped to our site where we have it ready to be cabled up and redeployed. The initial thought from my colleagues is that we had to get this media agent back online in order for index cash on that server to be used again. But my management is asking whether or not we can just transfer the media agents index cash from that server to another media agent?So instead of having to rehook up this media agent in order for the tapes that came from this location to be read, that we can move the index cache that was on this server to another media agent, and then any tapes that came from this site would then just read from a current active media agent for its index cash?

HI Community, i am very interested in your thinking of customization of the following topics and if you do this and on which way you do this at the moment to achieve this goal. Webconsole Command Center  Alerts  Commcell Console GUI  I am very excited about your answers and your experience with this topic.  Cheers Philipp

This post covers over using SMTP Journaling vs Mailbox backup support to get copies of messages into Commvault. Mailbox BackupsThe Exchange Mailbox backups agent provides item level backup and recovery on all items (visible and hidden) in a mailbox. It also supports restoring items back to a mailbox (same or different one), to PSTs, or to MSG files.With mailbox backups, the full lifecycle of a message is tracked as is the complete mailbox structure\folders. So when the message was received, read, moved to a folder, deleted, and then purged (hard deleted) are all covered. In addition, the mailbox folder structure and non-emailed items like calendar, task, contacts, and others that are stored in a mailbox are also protected and discoverable.The mailbox items then can be accessed by IT for restoration, deletion, or exporting. By end-users via an end-user focused web console, an optional plug-in to Outlook, or via IMAP. Furthermore, with Commvault's optional Activate add-on, full eDiscover
