Hi guys, could not open old thread here:  So creating new one.. Still same problem, I’ve increased debugging and file versions on webserver.log and couple more, but I think webserver.log is relevant here now as I see some strange lines in the logs.First of all - login is actually successful, afterwards I can see connection being aborted!login OKDoes someone have the knowledge to comment on those here?ABORT connectionABORT connection 2Log lines:18824 397c  07/26 12:52:34 ### XMLSerializer::serialize() - Serialized xml is : [<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><CNSession_PAbortRequest time="0"><status close="2" errnum="0" errtype="2"/></CNSession_PAbortRequest>]18824 397c  07/26 12:52:34 ### BinarySerializer::serialize() - [<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><CNSession_PAbortRequest time="0"><status close="2" errnum="0" errtype="2"/></CNSession_PAbortRequest>]18824 3224  07/26 12:53:28 ### CCvNetwork::

I am going to be rebuilding my commserve in the near future, and the IP address is going to be changing.  Is there a way to 'bulk edit' all of the DIPs associated with the commserve, or will I have to do them all one by one?  I thought there used to be a control panel feature that displayed all DIPs (and could edit them there) but I don't see that option.

Hi,I am currently testing with Airgap technology to make aux/offline copies to an isolated environment with WORM enabled. To explain the situation bit more this is how it works -- see picture below.FYI; to Power On/Off the MA’s I use the Workflow: Airgap which commvault provided.To make it more intelligent I created an PoSH which checks all the jobs that is being initiated by the AirGap Schedule Policy and if all the jobs contains: ‘completed’, ‘completed with errors’ or ‘failed’, the machines are going down using the Workflow.Now I know there are some Administrative Jobs that has to run as well like;Data AgingDDB BackupsData verificationReclamation etc...Ofcourse I can make this part of the PoSH script before Power Off the MA’s but is it smart to do? Is there anyone who has experience with the administrative processes and this technology below?   

Dear all,I am trying to find a way to uninstall the commvault file system agent on some Windowss Virtual machines. We want to keep only Vmware Snapshot backup and sql agent inside the VM.Do you have any clue on where to find the rights commandsWe use ansible, and actually it works only for linuw machines. Thanks ! 

Hello community,We’ve been trying to retrieve a QSDK token in Swagger API Explorer to develop some custom tools and we always get the below error even when we try to log in with csadmin (and yes the password is converted to Base64).Are there any Advanced\Additional Settings that need to be added to the Web Server object in order to access the web service? Thanks for your help!"errLogMessage": "Username or password is incorrect", "errorCode": 1117

What can replace the "Get-CVVirtualMachine" PowerShell command in the Commvault REST API?I use the "Get-CVVirtualMachine -Protected" command to get a list of virtual machines that are being backed up so that I can start a restore.Looked at the API page on my Commvault server (https://CommvaultSRV/webconsole/sandbox/apiexplorer/#/Virtualization%20Operations) and I couldn't identify any GET command that would give me the same result as the PowerShell command. Does anyone have any idea how to get a list of all protected VMs from Commvault REST API?

hi, Is there a way to have two approvers or more in the authorization workflows(delete job, delete client, delete storage policy) thanks,

What I am doing here is using the javascript subscript method to get a character to use in a switch statement.I noticed the switch statement is always going to default so I stuck a logger.info snippet into the workflow and apparently substring is returning a number instead of a character.    Clearly I am doing something wrong. Halp.

I’m looking for anyway to have new clients installed to be directed to use X plan. Whether that be in a workflow, client group, or other. 

Can anyone have workflow for below steps ? we would need to run the workflow as the first step and then the workflow would have a box that pops up asking for the name of the Client we want to decommission where we input the client name.Then we want the workflow to remove the client from all the groups it is part of (with the exception of automated client groups).Next we want the workflow to turn off backup activity of the client.Next we want the workflow to add the client to the decommissioned group.

Hi Team,Greetings! I can able to run the workflow using below command which i saved in .bat file, which will start the workflow with job id. i want to monitor that job id using another command as wait for job completion in same .bat file and save that output to the text file whether it got completed or not. is there any option available for it ? qoperation execute -af execute_workflow.xml -associations workflow_engine -workflowName baas_workflow -tf c:\tokenFile <TMMsg_CreateTaskResp taskId="4231">  <jobIds val="18722"/></TMMsg_CreateTaskResp> 

Hi, I need your help. Maybe I do not see it all anymore, or we have a flaw in the automatic authorizing workflows or better said, we miss one.This is the caseIf we delete a client a workflow starts which sends a mail to authorize. Works fine. One note though if a job is running for that client, it will not notify you, message is send but after authorizing the client will not be deleted.If we delete a backupset the same, works fine, email is being sent.But now it comesThere is also an agent we can delete and I do not see a workflow for this.When I hit delete, it will say if there is a job running or not, but if not, I just have to fill in the known words and the agent along with all data is deleted.I have no other environment to test quickly to check if it is for this particularly environment but does anyone else encountered this maybe??Looking forward to any answer. Thanks,Danny

I'm trying to automate certain tasks by querying the APIs. I first tried the newly released Powershell SDK which turned out to be broken right now. The development team is aware and they stated they will fix it somewhere next week so I decided to continue without SDK and write the modules myself.I'm trying to achieve the following:In case the client is discovered via VSA I would like to know the hypervisor vendor. In case a client is not part of VSA I would like to know if it runs as a virtual instance and preferably I would like to know what kind of virtualization platform. I know Commvault pulls this information from a client using the agent to make the distinction between OI and VOI and also that they can identify the platform but would like to leverage this myself as well and I would expect this information to be available as a client property that can by pulled over via the API. 1)So I already discovered that in case a client is discovered through the VSA client that the client pr

Hi guys,I have been using the CVPowerShellSDK_v1 and was able to create tools and scripts for our team. Now, I would like to move a step further and make my own API Calls with the Invoke-RestMethod in PowerShell but I am having a hard time to get started (disclaimer: I have a backgrouind as a sysadmin, not a web developper). I played around with Postman, API Explorer, I went through the documentation on the subject and tried different ways to interact with APIs in PowerShell but I still haven’t succeeded in retrieving data with a simple GET method. I am at the point where I need a little help from friends to move forward. So, if anyone could help me to make a simple GET request through PowerShell with an output in JSON format, I would greatly appreciate and would be able to figure out the rest by myself.Let’s say, for example, I want to retrieve the information of the EmailServer and create a simple function like Get-CVEmailServer.In curl, the request would be: curl -X GET "https://mys

Hi Team, Greetings !How can we connect the API to commvault from any automation tools like ansible , jenkins etc..  Thanks in advance! 

I am trying to find out if there is a report that I can run for each of my Schedule Policies.  Currently when checking backups from the night before I go into Schedule Policy, go to each of our policies and view jobs.  I can then verify if it went to tape or even look deeper to see what files were backed up.  Is there a report that I could run each night so in the morning I just have reports for each one that I can easily view pretty much the same info of all the Subclients under each policy and the stats for the previous nights backup?  I realize I may have to dig into creating my own reports, which I am still figuring out.  Thank you for any help in pointing me in the right direction.

When writing some programs especially for business purpose, we need to implemente "proper" error handling to avoid unexpected errors, this is applicable when we write Commvault workflows. But sometimes it's slightly tricky to capture exception happened in some activities, without care the workflow itself simply stops with error, if the workflow is set as Job mode the job is sit pending. To avoid this situation you need to set 2 parameters in the activity you want to capture the event, which is described in the following Documentation but not so intuitive: General Properties for Workflow ActivitiesFor testing, we create a Script activity which simply raise exceptions (divide by zero) as follows:When reaching this activity, workflow would stop with the following error, quite straightforward:To capture the error we need to modify 2 properties on this activity:"Continue after max restarts" from "false" to "true" "Maximum restarts" from empty to "0"  With this setting, the next activity wou

Hi, I created a client group to include 100+ clients using auto association based on rules.I am looking for a way to add the same keywords in client description of every client in this group.As there are more than 100 clients, if it is possible I am trying to avoid going through them one by one to add this keyword. Kind regards,Boyi

We are creating an integration between our monitoring tool (Zabbix) and the Commvault API, to have backup alerts centralized in a single location (Zabbix).Using the documentation, they are doing a GET to the Commvault API.And the return brings all the historical events, an immense list. We need the query to return only the events that are currently “problematic”.Is there some kind of query within the API that only returns problem events that are currently occurring? Or some other way to centrally show, in Zabbix, the events and problems of Commvault?

I have a short script activity that checks the output of a powershell command, as far as I can tell it works perfectly but when I run “check syntax” it gives me a lexical error.

Hi All, please let me know if anyone worked on integrating COmmvualt API’s to Tensai tool for any backup job status or anything else. 

I’m interested in getting this workflow from the webstore, but both on the commserve’s browser (MS Edge) or on my workstation (firefox), when I click the install button while signed in with my commvault account - so this link here: https://commserve.mycompany.edu/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/136/671/14567 from my commserve, i see the messages in the lower right corner:Installing "Enable Subclient Index"followed seconds later bySomething went wrong installing Enable Subclient IndexWhat logs can I examine to figure out why this is happening? following the prereqs here, I definitely know I’m logged in as part of the master group, and obviously the commserve has the web console installed.I also did use this successfully once, a couple years ago, to install a workflow, so I know it has worked in the past.
