Hello. While learning commvault, I learned about the commvault solution design tool. Now I want to try it out, but I can't find a link to this tool. please tell me how to find it?

Hi. We are using your api to automate our usage of commvault.Commvault version 11.40, cvpysdk 11.40A few days ago, we submitted a job to restore a VMWare virtual server, calling /v2/vsa/vm/{vm_uuid}/recover endpoint with the following arguments:{            'powerOnVmAfterRestore': True,            'passUnconditionalOverride': True,            'inPlaceRestore': True,            'newName': {vm_name}        } The job is created, and then ultimately failed due to media agent misbehaving. Our internal resource is investigating that front, while I deal with the following issue.In Command Center → vm detail → jobs section, we see that the job in question has the status of “Failed”: Yet if we go into the job detail page by clicking on the

Hi Guys,just want to know, whether it is a bug or a feature, that the Workflow Activity ExecuteCommand changes the value of the input parameter command ?I tried to create a Workflow that executes commands on a linux client.If the command ends on .exe (funny), the program suffix is automatically removed by the WorkFlow,As a result, the executable is not found.As a workaround, I created a symbolic link pointing to the .exe file having the same name, but without the suffix. The Workflow does, what is expected, but I wonder why the program is altered at all.this happens in my environment running on V11.40rgdsKlaus

I’m trying to script a process to automate my restore testing of SQL Server database backups from Commvault.  The process will one-by-one restore each production database from all of my production servers to a utility server where I can run checkdb and other validation processes against the database and log the results.  I’m doing this all through powershell and using the Commvault powershell module RESTORE-CVSQLDATABASE to do the restore with the -OutofPlace flag and the other needed paramaters to tell it where to restore. So far it works fine as long as the original database data file directory and log file directories match my utility server.  Not so fine when they don’t.  It will throw an error in Commvault saying that it cannot find the datafile directory (H:\MSSQL\Data…..etc).  Of course there is no H drive on my utility server but that should be taken care of with the -DataFilePath "E:\MSSQL\Data" -LogFilePath "F:\MSSQL\Log" parameters I’ve passed in right?  Here’s the actual

Hi,I just learned, that the WebConsole is no longer available with 11.40.So far, so good.But what I really miss is the Report Builder, that is no longer available with new installations of Commvault.Are there any plans to make it available in the CommandCenter as well in the near future ?and if so, when will this happen ?rgdsKlaus

Hi,There is a way to disable the Multi-person authorization forever instead of 24 hours?Thanks

We have a large number for VMware VMs that are getting migrated to new hardware. As such, the VMs will reside in a new VMware virtual client within Commvault. Is there a way to take a VSA based user defined subclient and it’s contents (namely the VMs) and move or clone them to a different virtual client? We’ve looked at the clone_subclient_template.xml but that appears to only clone to the same virtual client not a different one. Has anyone done this before or know of an auotmated way to accomplish this? Thanks!

Good day,We are traying to connect to commvault, using a script, but show this error:<DM2ContentIndexing_CheckCredentialResp loginAttempts="0" remainingLockTime="0" isAccountLocked="0">    <errList errLogMessage="Username/Password are incorrect" errorCode="1116" /></DM2ContentIndexing_CheckCredentialResp>If i try to connect directly to the command center, with the same user and password the connection is sucessfull.

Hi, I raised https://github.com/Commvault/cvpysdk/issues/191 for the immediate need we have, but in general I would like to raise more awareness to ensure Commvault SDK’s do not keep on using deprecated API calls going forward. Could someone please own the SDK updates in case a specific API call is deprecated to ensure the correct API endpoints are being used? Thanks!

Hey , I am trying to create a workflow using alerts for failed jobs to trigger backups via workflow feature .though it allows me to pass different values for client names like VIRTUAL MACHINE CLIENT NAME - which I intend to BUT workflow>backup never accepts anything except “Client name” that eventually triggers the backup for whole client computer name including all 20-30 VM`s in that group which is not desired. any leads will be much appreciated.RegardsJimmy

Hi Guys,,I am working on to create a workflow to automatically re-run the failed backup jobs. I have started creating a test workflow but seems to be a complex task. Has anyone worked on a similar workflow in Commvault ? Regards,pank1988

Hello,What are other users of Commvault powershell module opinion of the module.I am disapointed. I was hoping for a well working modle, but it is a struggle. Commands  aren’t logical, not following powershell best practices. Help is minimal and examples of commands are missing.No where I can find that it is work in progress.My opinion is that Commvault need to either put an effort in developing the module to a working module or state that it is a “Work in progress -- beta” module.//Henrik  

Hello,As the title says I’m trying to automate the installation of dozens of clients using API. For that I need to make sure I can select "Client Group", "CommServe/Gateway hostname" and "Storage Policy". Especially the “CommServe/Gateway” given we’re using proxies and that the client computer won’t directly connect to the Commserve:“Client Group” is also vital because of the way we have things set up. If the client doesn’t fall in the right client group it won’t communicate.I’ve been looking at this documentation but I don’t see mention of these fields there:https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP36/api/cv/FileServerOperations/post-install-client/Can you please hel

I need clarification on how Commvault encrypts passwords during the Linux agent installation process. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a way to encrypt a password (similar to what happens during installation) so that we can integrate with CyberArk for password rotation.The goal is to rotate the password in CyberArk, then encrypt it in the same manner Commvault does, and finally update the salt(using to automate agent install) with the encrypted value.I noticed there is an encrypt binary being called and also references to an update_pkginfo file, but I couldn’t find any documentation on how to use them for this purpose. Ideally, I would like to avoid having to manually reinstall the Commvault Linux agent every 6 months or so just to get the updated encrypted password to align with CyberArk and AD.Could you please provide guidance or documentation if this can be achieved?

Hi All,We are deploying Commvault SaaS Endpoint Backup for laptops and would like to know if SCIM provisioning in the Enterprise Application can be used to synchronize users and groups from Entra ID to the Commvault tenant.The reason for this query is that, while SCIM synchronization successfully creates users in the Commvault tenant, the group synchronization fails with the attached error message. Could you please confirm if any additional configuration is required on the Commvault tenant side to resolve this issue?
