Hi All, I am baffled by why I have same API working on commserve and on another I get Internal Server Error (500).. I am trying to launch a backup job, using same api request and get different outcome on 2 commserves… api request Here you can see in red there is the api request if application is Virtual Server - this is failing with 500.outputAnother which is File System - completes ok. For SQL also completes ok.. I’ve tried different backup levels thinking maybe there is some kind of thought behind it.. looked into documentation here: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/45793_rest_api_post_backup_set_backup.htmlFollowing that I’ve changed headers to application/xml instead of /json - but still the same… Logs from the failing commservs webserver.log:webserver.logAny ideas on this one?
Hi Guys, Hope everyone is doing good.Is there in windows command to be used on the MA to check if there are any running jobs on that MA ? Kind regards.
Anyone using CVPySDK and Ansible? I am unable to get it to function. I have pip installed and can run the commcell functions from within the python interpreter.When I attempt to use it in a playbook, I get an error… ERROR! couldn’t resolve module/action ‘commvault’ Ansible 2.10.7python 3.6.8. Ken
Hello!I'm using the cvpysdk in order to restore SQL Server databases, but unfortunately I can't find an option to restore out of place and change the name of the database.Maybe someone here faced this issue and can help me with this?
Friends,I want to use a script to retire/delete VMs from Commvault when the last backup is at a certain age. As we are a tenant customer, we don’t have options like Workflows.So I build a Powershell script to collect data, do different checks and fire Rest calls to Commvault.I can delete via the following command and this works fine:Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Delete' -Headers $headers -Uri $($url + "/v4/virtualmachines/$UUID") But I can’t find the option to Retire the VM !And important in this case that I only retire the VM backup, not the client, as FS and SQL backups might be still in use. Anyone who knows how to Retire a VM using Rest-API ? Thanks in advance, Maurice
We do automatic rollouts of Active Directory in Azure for our Customers with Ansible.We want to install the AD iData Agent with the Unattend Package and Custom “install.xml” File.These we are already doing successful for MA, Proxy and Restore Agent.If you do Unattend AD Installation in the XML is PW for AD Agent needed. But it is expected a hash, but i cannot find what hash (for the PW) the Installer expect. Normal PW is not working and sha-256 hash of PW is not working, too.This is the line in XML:<activeDirectory> <userAccount password="3820c5c6992b6774aced93ecd88e04e35b4398d99e3f0a7d8" domainName="q1xyz.local" userName="svc-adbackup" /></activeDirectory>So it would be important to know with what the setup when you create the package the PW encryptes, because during automatic rollout we get it from our central key Vault during installation.
Documentation for Workflows mentions some Functions for Java to interact with or access other Resources during execution https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=49729.htm.But alone from browsing through the other Pages it gets clear there are way more options like activity.exitCode or workflow.setFailed().Dissecting built in Workflows reveals other treasures like csdb.execute(“sqlquery”).Is there a complete list of all available Functions and how/when to use them? Trial-and-Error and Reverse-Engineering by Customers seems error-prone and inefficient.
Hello! All good?My name is Filipe Asaph, work in StorageOne.I would like to ask you questions about Commvault's "Workflow" tool. I'm trying to send an email in Workflow, but it always gives an error. The error number is 19:857.Grateful, Filipe Asaph.
I cannot use the client list because we have duplicates with the same hostname. I need a query or even a rest api call that can get this information. thanks.Chris.
The APP_VM table seems to only include information for VM’s that have been backed up.Where is non-backed up VM information held? Thanks.Chris.
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.
