Commvault topics

We are a long term Commvault on-premise shop.  We are starting to move some thing to Azure.  So far we are backing those things up to our on-prem CV environment.   For efficiency and time, I am looking to setup a few media agents and library in Azure to run and store the backups.  I have reviewed the “Public Cloud guide for Microsoft Azure document, and based on it, I am planning to setup 2 media agents with a partitioned duplication database across them.  For the Library it looks like Azure blob object storage is the way to go.  I should be able to have both media agents access it.   Is this similar to what folks are doing?  For our on-prem we were using local storage on the media agents, and the paths were shared with each other.   This design will be a little easier to manage, but I am a little worried about the performance of blob storage vs storage local to the MA’s  I look forward to hearing from other folks with there Commvault setup and the cloud migration.Thank you,

Dear Experts,our objective is to restore a table from Source_PDB to Destination_PDB via Import functionality provided by CommVault. Setup: CommServe Version 11.32.49; Source_ and Destiantion_CDB are both Oracle 19.22.  The Destination_CDB was set up according to CommVault documentation. The Destination_CDB and Source_CDB are both included to be in tnsnames.ora on either sides. Remote crosswise sqlplus-connect is working from both sides.  In Commvault-GUI we did: Commcell → Client_Computers → select Source_Client →  right-click Oracle Source-CDB → select All Tasks → select Browse And Restore → select Table View + set Time Range + End Time (select Date and PointInTime)→  View Content → Select table and its dependent tables from the respective schema in the Source_PDB → Recover All Selected …In the window “Table Restore Options for Clients Source_CDB_Client SID: Source_CDB”  in the Tab “General” : Set Destination Client  Destination_Client_Name;Set Use Oracle Settings from Auxiliary CDB;C

I would like to create a secondary copy of tape backups to aux copy existing tape Archive backups to a newly configured AWS cloud library. This is using a Windows 2022 VM as a new mediaagent.We have an AuxCopy schedule which copies Primary data from all these tape SP copies in one data centre to a matching copy in a second data center.  a)12Month-LTO5, b)5 Years- LTO5, c)7 years-LTO5 ,d)10 Years-LT05  there is no new data, but we need to retain it & I would like to decommission the tape library as soon as possible   1) If I add a new DDB disk to the mediaagent & enable De Duplication as per this doco - Creating a Selective Copy Using a Library Does it work to reduce the data size going to the cloud library ?Because if I use the recommended method in Creating a Storage Policy Copy with Deduplication , it says “Secondary copies are automatically associated with the System Created Autocopy schedule policy.“I take that to mean I would need to immediately edit the association to onl

Hi all,i have activated media agent side encryption but management wants to see a report that the encryption is happening on the media agent side and not the agent side.Is there any report where we can see this?like:I active an encryption job on media agent side and confirm with a report.Again an encryption job on media+agent side and confirm with a report. Thank you

Hi CV Support, Is there any release notes for 11.36 which outlines new features in 11.36 when compared to previous release?I reached frontline on support portal, but they said there is no such link or document. I see release notes for other backup vendors, not sure why it is not available for World’s top Backup product. I believe every Commvault Customer’s deserve to know what is new features in new release. I know documentation is available, but no one can read complete BoL just to know the new features in release.

Hi Team,One of my customer having seventeen-node HSX 3.x cluster. They have 12 drive tape library and planning to connect 6 drives out 12 with HSX through to perform aux copy.Here is my doubt to outline the solution.Do I need to zone all the MA with tape library or only six MA? If six MA, how do I choose those six MA alone? Can you share your thoughts/inputs. TIA,Mani 

I experienced slow incremental/synthetic backups due to limited throughput. I would like to understand if changing the default UNC path and indexing on the DDB will affect the backup process.

Hello, we are planning of ‘Backup of File share in Azure using Commvault in On Prem Storage’. We have gone through the documentations related to Commvault in side configuration. But We are looking for documentation or any use case that can demonstrate/describe more about the connectivity between Azure to Commvault - On Prem.  Kindly Help to suggest to on this, 

Hi,We’re running ver: 11.32.6 since a week back.Now we’re getting the following error for one of our MA’s.“Error Code: [13:244]Description: [Media write operation failure] [Dedupe disk media] [There is not enough space on the disk.]Source: xxxx, Process: cvd” When I check disk we’ve got a bit over 2.2TB free space on disk which equals to 56% free disk. 

Hi All,  In our environment, the commvault backup data to disk storage then duplicate to tape, can we delete/purge specific backup data on disk storage only?

After upgrading from 11.32 to 11.36.28, some backups on the Azure stack fail with this error:Unable to create a virtual machine snapshot of [x]. [Failed to fetch a Valid SAS Token. Could not find member 'fileFormat' on object of type 'AccessData'. Path 'fileFormat', line 1, position 57. Code=BadRequest, HTTP Code=400-Bad Request] Please check the virtual machine snapshot tree. Any help?

Can anyone point me to a graph that shows what these color/designs mean in the Client Storage Utilization by Storage Policy?  Each one represents a client and I cant find anything depicting what they represent.  

download and does not allow me to download 11.36.x directlyit allow me onlt 11.32.x or 11.34.x do I need to upgrade to 11.34 firstly and then 11.36 or am I missing something?

Morning,   Is it possible to schedule client throttling? I’m getting users complaining of sudden drops in bandwidth at odd times of the day, and when it happened to a tech, he was able to pinpoint it to a backup in progress. It dropped performance from 2 Gb/s to under 100 Mb/s, briefly, but it was very noticeable to all on that segment. Thanks!Roger

Hello Commvault Community We had backed up two very important firewall devices (Linux) which sits in Australia East and the media agent that is holding the backup sits in Western Europe.  The job gets so far then bombs out with error 91:145.  I’ve logged a call with support but was wondering if anyone had come across such issues before.   Many thanksTonyQ

Hi, we are testing the file archiving on an isilon and the archiving itself works fine but it does not create any stubs.Error code: [72:106]Description: Warning: Job completed partially successful: Stubbing did not happenWe tested the same on a Netapp share where archiving and stubbing works fine.Does anyone have had any similar issues?Thanks

Hello,  We have the following Secondary Copy to LTO9 Tape Retention configured across all our storage policies. I want to see what others are doing for extended tape copies to optimize utilization, based on raw tape media capacity, we are using more media than we expected due to the mixed retention not fully allowing the typical son, father, grandfather graduation.  Also, does Commvault have a Media Calculator Estimator similar to Veeam’s?https://www.veeam.com/calculators/simple/vbr/tape TIA !

Hi All,i would like to view only the jobs used or managed by a particular proxy or Media agent?Is there anyway in Commcell Console we can filter the jobs?Thank you

Good day! I’ve got some strange problem. After upgrade from 11.28 to 11.32.69 database backups stopped working with errorError Code: [19:1942]Description: The RBS Store Client option is not selected. Please configure it and resubmit the job.We are using BLOB storage in content database. MS RBS.msi is installed and configured on SharePoint server (before upgrade backups worked fine). Now I can’t find where to enable RBS Store Client option.I’ve tried to create new subclient, reinstall agents on SharePoint server with now luck. Could anyone direct me, where can I enable this option?Thanks in advance.

Hello,I'm trying to find a way to display the configuration of a copy that is part of a Storage Policy.Did anyone find a way to do this yet?Thanks,Br,Fred

Hello guys,is there an equivalent available for Plans, like available for Storage Policies, where I can use a different target for transactionlogs and archive logs, when assigning a StoragePolicy to a subclient or instance. ?I formerly used NonDedup Storage Policies as a transaction log Policy linked into the Dedup Storage Policy used for database backups.When associating a dabase storage policy, the correct NonDedup policy has been automatically assigned to the transactionlog part of instance or sublient configuration.Cannot find it in plans and having problems when trying to assign them using plan rules.(currently running on 11.32.73)RgdsKlaus

The issue arises because, after installation, the GUI cannot launch, and the following message is displayed: Using update installer /home/pawin/Commvault_Linux/linux-x8664/LooseUpdates/CU116/linux-glibc2.3-x86_64/installer/newinstall.gz running as /root/.gxsetup/cvpkgadd/newinstall: im not sure Commvault v11 SP16 compatible with Linux AlmaLinux 8.10? /home/pawin/Commvault_Linux/   it have permission root by chmod -R 777 

Do we have any impact on Commserve FREL  servers by integrating the splunk servers & what are the recommendations.

According to the Announcements on this pagehttps://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/announcements.htmlCommvault will discontinue VSA Indexing V1.How Can I check which VSA Indexing version we're running and What does VM-Centric Hypervisors means?
