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 guys.I'm trying to find an API to create a secondary copy of an existing Storage Policy.I need to create this copy as a Global Secondary Copy Policy to use a Storage Poll that already exists.When I call the '/V2/StoragePolicy/35/Copy' API with the parameters $data = '{ "copyName": "2-CP-TAPE", "useGlobalPolicy": { "storagePolicyName":"SPOOL-TAPE-1WEEK" }, "storagePolicyCopyInfo": { "active": 1, "isDefault": 0, "extendedFlags": { "useGlobalAuxCopyPolicy":1, "chunkLevelAuxCopy":1 }, "library": { "libraryName":"TAPE-VIRTUAL1", "libraryId":3 }, "mediaAgent": { "mediaAgentId":2, "mediaAgentName":"wzsp2-csnfr" }, "storagePool": { "storagePoolName":"SPOOL-TAPE-1WEEK", "storagePoolId":18 } } }';I get the following message{ "processing

Hi Team,I am not able to access curl -X 'GET' \ 'https://<webserver>/webconsole/api/v4/Servers?showOnlyInfrastructureMachines=1' \ -H 'accept: application/json'Getting “Access Denied” while using it.When try to access the same using browser , it asks to login and then it works.

Hi - unless I’ve missed it - is there a way to add webhooks to commvault via the API?
CV has kincly provided a pre-built client deletion authorisation approval workflow for virtual machine clients.There isn’t a pre-built workflow for objectstore clients (e.g. Azure FIles objects) - I’m wondering if that’s because it’s not possible or it’s just not a popular request(!) - has anyone done anything with this/can comment on whether it’s possible?Thanks.
I am trying to use the qlist job command to return the running jobs for a specific subclient. Using a command structured like the one below it always returns “No jobs to display” even though a simple “qlist job” command returns results. What am I missing? qlist job -c 'clientName' -a 'Q_VIRTUAL_SERVER' -i 'VMware' -b 'defaultBackupSet' -s 'subclientName' -cs 'commserveName' -jt 'admin'
Hi All,I have a bit of a challenge on my hands. I’m migrating a customer to the new SharePoint agent, but I cannot seem to find a way to effectively select the needed content. The situation is as follows the customer has 51K sites, but most of them are created by students, and should not be part of the backup. So we only want 1300 in the backup. In the previous agent I could do some magic with regex to make this happen. But I do not see a good solution in the new agent.Both the Mail and OneDrive agent give me the opportunity to work with groups, but the SharePoint agent only has all sites, all group sites and project sites. Or i have to click 1300 sites which is not feasible, I also looked of a json to do this, but ne new agent does not take the json format of the old agent so that does not seem to be a solution as well. Anyone have any idea how I can do this, and possibly automate it so we can update the site content occasionally?
Hi all I have a customer who’s dashboard doesn’t report on a number of fields. Running the reports for each component also brings up empty results, as expected.I had a look at the possibility of Branch Cache running as per another post here on a similar issue, but it isn’t installed.I staged the Commserve in my lab and reporting is correct.The customer is on FR11.21 and the lab version is FR11.28.xxI don’t think this would be a fix as I believe the issue has been around for some time.Below is the client view: Below is the view in my lab:

Hi, This question is for the workflow guys.We created a workflow which monitors certain running jobs, which is scheduled to start every day, in the workflow there is a condition which ends the workflow when there are no running jobs and a loop which executes every 5 minutes to check the status of the running jobs.In some cases, our jobs running jobs takes too long to complete, and we want to force our workflow to complete when reaching certain hours (For example 01:00 AM) even if there are still some running jobs. My question is, is there any way to make the workflow run for a defined interval of time ? Here are what I’m thinking of so far :Inside the workflow, before each iteration of the loop, check the time and if a certain time is reached, the workflow completes. For this one, I don’t know if the workflow editor offers the tools to implement this, or should we make it execute a script that we have to create manually from scratch. We have also the option to make it run for certain t
IHAC using NetApp storage as Library mount paths, not supporting Sparse Files.Without Sparse File support, we cannot accurately calculate the usage of mount path data, but this is expected as normal cases.But this MSP customer, they’re still using BET charging to tenant users (I tried to eliminate this for couple of years but not succeeded yet), requires how much data actually occupied.It’s simply not easy and impossible to get accurate data, especially under DDB utilization since Commvault is retaining only the stats for non-aged jobs, so quite difficult to accumulate how much is written/purged as of now.Still we can retrieve rough image of usage from Commvault logs, from DDB Verification job results.After running DDB Verification, we can get reclaimable stats at a log file named DDBMntPathInfo.log on MA server(s) like (this is actual data at customer's site): 9601 2581 10/31 08:06:34 22551699 ====================================================================9601 2581 10/31 08:06:34
