Commvault topics

The customer is using Proxmox version 9.2.5 and CommCell version 11.36.120. They would like to deploy a Proxmox VE access node. However, the system requirements for version 11.36 specify only Proxmot VE version 8.x.I noticed that Proxmox VE support for version 9.x is not available until version 11.40.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/system_requirements_for_proxmox_ve_access_nodes.htmlhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/software/system_requirements_for_proxmox_ve_access_nodes.htmlAt this time, the customer doesn’t want to upgrade the environment to version 11.40. Is it safe to install the VSA package for Proxmox access node? Will it work with the current version of the CommCell environment? Regards,Michael

I am trying to fix our Command Center login page.I am not sure which values to change for this particular page.The login page looks like this:You can see that we are missing the username after “signing in as”and we are missing the “Stay logged in” text and button.They are actually there, but the text is white.White text against white background.. not easy to read.I can mark the text with the mouse pointer, so I know it is there.This is the current theme: I can change any of the “background” values, like page background or container background,but it seems to only change in the command center, not the login page. Maybe login page must be edited elsewhere?

After I restore an Exchange folder, and then export it, it doesn’t complete. When I look at the destination folder it shows a file that is the correct size but it is named “Unconfirmed xyz.crdownload”.

Hello guys, I want to get better at troubleshooting Linux clients, Oracle and PostgreSQL DBs. I know all of them from the administrative site from Commvault and can troubleshoot from there but I am completely lost when it gets deeper. For example I just learned about control files and spfiles from Oracle DBs. Both control file and spfile are needed for a successful restore of the DB, but as a pure Commvault admin I didnt know that.  What do you guys think what would be the best training to start with? I didnt find any DB trainings specially for backup admins but maybe you have something in mind. Thanks in advanceEddi

Hi Team,We are using the DAG database for Exchange backups. We are currently trying to restore PST files for some users from the DAG Full Backup.The Create Recovery Point job completed successfully. However, when we open the available recovery point from the List Recovery Points section, we are unable to browse and view the users/mailboxes for recovery.We have also verified the required prerequisites on the selected MediaAgent, including the Commvault Exchange package and Microsoft Outlook 2013 64-bit, which are installed on the MediaAgent.Additionally, we attempted the PST restore, but the restore job remains in Running state without any progress/update for more than 30 minutes. The logs indicate repeated messages related to the process not receiving network messages.We have attached the relevant screenshots and logs for your reference.Could you please review the issue and advise why the users/mailboxes are not appearing when browsing the recovery point and what steps are required to

HI ​@Suzanne Klausner, kindly advise… how we can purchase the Commvault Certified Professional Exam &  is this exam online proctored exam.   how we can complete the Commvault profession ceritifcate.   Thanks Pankaj 

Good day allI was trialling the V11.40 SDK today, but notice that the Commserve Role doesn’t appear to be part of the Media Kit yet. Has anyone else experienced this? I also notice that V11.40 is not yet available on the Store.

Dear Team,I apologize for the inconvenience, but I was wondering if you could assist me with the following question.On August 1, 2026, I completed the Commvault Cloud Professional course to obtain the certification. However, it appears that the certificate has not yet been issued. I noticed that my previous certificates were generated immediately, so I was wondering if this delay is normal.I would appreciate it if you could provide me with more information about the status of my certificate or let me know if any further action is required on my part.Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.Kind regards,

Is there a report that shows the compliance lock status of each copy in a storage policy ?

Please bare with me as Im still a novice in terms of commvault.  I was going to open a case with support but I figured I would post here first to see if anyone could assist.so our DBmaintenance job doesnt see to want to run like it use to back on 11.32.xI think this has been going on since we upgraded to 11.40.x from 11.32.xWhen the job runs we get the following  I know it said it completed but it also states that it has failed.I havent tried to run in manually via the cmd line.   Doesnt even send an email.   Guessing something totally changed from 11.32 to 11.40 ThanksBC 

Current commserve version is 11.36.98 and using commcell console. if we upgrade to 11.44 are we still be able to use commcell console?

Using the bUseLatestVDDKVersionPath Additional Setting, I am looking to force the use of VDDK901 for the protection of multiple 8.0.3 environments.Given that VMware claims that VDDK is N-2 backwards compatible, I am interested to understand if anyone has faced any issues when forcing the use of a later VDDK version, and whether there are any caveats I should be aware of?

Hi Team,We have upgraded our CommCell environment from Commvault 11.32 to 11.40. The CommServe and other MediaAgents were upgraded successfully. However, one MediaAgent is failing to upgrade from 11.32 to 11.40. We are facing the same issue with both: 1. Push upgrade from CommCell Console 2. Manual upgrade using the Commvault 11.40 media kit MediaAgent Details: - Current Commvault Version: 11.32 - Target Commvault Version: 11.40 - OS: Windows Server 2016 Standard - OS Version: 1607 - OS Build: 14393.9060 Error observed during upgrade: "Failed to install IISServerRoles2012 with error code 0xFFFFFFFF." From Install.log, we observed the following: - Timeout period 20 mins for package: IISServerRoles2012 - Started install/update of package: IISServerRoles2012 - Installation of package: IISServerRoles2012 did not complete in expected amount of time - Process name: CVInstallThirdParty.exe - Warning: Installing IISServerRoles2012 timed out - Set application exit code=[Failed] - The installer

Hi All,does somebody know when disk, or at least name filtering will become available for Proxmox and Nutanix VM backups?Ever so often VMs have disks assigned containing no content worth to be backed up. Like e.g. sources, lasrge test copies of developers or Update Vaults.With VMWare I am used to exclude such disks easily through disk filters, name filters or storage related ones. Or using the independent disk setting. For Nutanix and Proxmox I can find no such possibilities. Commvault also does not honor the Proxmox backup setting for disks.All filtering there applies to complete VMs only.Running currently 11.36.98, but also tested with 11.44.12.Thanks

have the following warning and all of these are coming from deconfigured clients and we cant delete since we still need data  The following pseudo clients and their corresponding physical clients do not have the same software version: The following MediaAgents do not support upgrade with the current operating system installed. The following clients have webserver or webclient installed and need to be upgraded immediately after CS upgrade The following clients have deprecated agents or instances that cannot be upgraded to the new software version. 11.24 has been deprecated in the current version. Please upgrade 11.24 clients to the latest version before retrying CommServe upgrade again.

Hello, Teams,I am looking for someone who can share the offline documentation file for the 2022E (11.28) version. Since this version has reached end-of-life / support termination, it is currently difficult to access or review the related documentation. Additionally, all existing links for 2022E (11.28) are currently being redirected to version 11.46, making it hard to find the older references. If anyone happens to possess this legacy offlinedocs file and is willing to share it, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance! 

Hello,I’m looking a manner to get the IndexCache status using Command Line or RestAPI or qscript, qcommand … in order to automate  some maintenance tasksCommvault version is 11.28.

I have a small CommCell with a CommServe on 11.32.115 running on a build of Windows Server that needs a refresh.I could stand up a new VM with the same IP and hostname and do a DR DB restore and I guess I’m back up and running quickly with a clean build?But I noticed Commvault now offer a Linux CommServe and a pre-configured OVA appliance so I’m wondering if this is something I should be looking at instead? The current environment doesn’t use “plans” it’s all traditional storage policies and copies and schedule policies to run jobs out of business hours.I don’t tend to use Command Center I tend to use the Java UI but I guess that’s out of habit.It’s a pretty small and simple environment with just a few Windows file agents and a NAS agent pulling some UNC paths in.What would people suggest please?

I passed the Commvault Cloud Professional Certification over a week ago and the badge is not showing up on Credly. I sent two messages to helpdesk@commvault.com and I have had absolutely no responses.

We will eventually upgrade everything to 11.36.114 but what needs this update in order to resolve these vulnerabilities?Is it just the CommServe/WebServer?The Resolution does not state what needs to be updated.“ResolutionSoftware customers upgrade to resolved maintenance release.”https://documentation.commvault.com/upcoming-security-advisories/?id=CV_2026_07_5 https://documentation.commvault.com/upcoming-security-advisories/?id=CV_2026_07_8 https://documentation.commvault.com/upcoming-security-advisories/?id=CV_2026_07_9  Thanks

I am currently questioning our AuxCopy to tape performance and want to get some input on how to identify the bottleneck.We have multiple plans which all have two copies to tape. One is synchronous and one is selective.Each of the two is consolidated onto another Global Secondary Copy Policy.The storage target are six LTO9 drives with a mixed LTO8 and LTO9 media inventory.The source for the copy is a NetApp StorageGRID S3 backed storage pool with deduplication connected on a 100G fiber network.We have two Media Agents which are both connected to all LTO drives and the NetApp (same VLAN).Looking at the reported speed of the drives in Commvault I get around 130MB/s all of the time.I could confirm this looking at SFP speeds on the FC switch which also stay around this value with rare peaks to around 200MB/s.What I tested already to look for the bottleneck:- only run one AuxCopy Job- run AuxCopy when no other jobs where running- validate drive > 300MB/s throughput with LTO8 media- differ

With FR40 there is a SQL upgrade that will happen for the CSDB; it will go from SQL2019 to SQL2022.i was told that sql installer will be included on the commvault package? can i download this via commcell console? i dont see any option where it would include sql package? TIA

Over the last several days my jobs are getting killed on Metallic because of this error [82:158]. Since we’re on the cloud we don't have any control over Media Agent or storage.  Are other customers seeing this problem as well? I’m still trying to catch up on all my EXO backup, but these problem keep making it difficult to do. 

Hi all,After installing the MediaAgent Package on some Windows Servers (These just require the component and do not not act as a Data Mover or host a DR Share) I get the once a day 64:1142 Critical Code Event logged:  Administrative share are enabled on the MediaAgent XXX which could lead to potential security exploits, please review and take necessary steps.Having reviewed https://kb.commvault.com/article/72274 this article only really seems concerned with disk libraries and DR Shares that use an Admin share in its path. I have 2 servers that this is being logged in event viewer for, yet they only have the default C$, Admin$ and IPC$.  Should Commvault be flagging the C$ as something that should be removed?  Indeed if I apply a reg key (AutoShareServer = 0) the alert is suppressed, but this also removes the Admin$ Share.   Are these alerts in the Event Viewer supposed to be triggered for these default Shares by design or is it being over zealous and picking up these in error?  The Cri

Hi all!I would like to discuss following situation. We are unable to override retention under plan. After turning on the option on “Override restrictions” to give permission to “Allow this plan can be overridden” than select changing the value to “Override optional/required and clicking OK we see no real changes performed.Is it possible that this setting is somewhere blocked or overwritten by another settings?
