Python SDK - releases and versions

Hi all, I am trying to automate our Commvault platform, and have been using the cvpysdk package a bit - however, I am missing some information. First of all, are there any release notes available for the different versions/releases of the package? I can not find anything really in pypi or in github. Secondly, I can also see that the releases are versioned as 11.32, 11.34, 11.36, 11.38, is this directly correlating to what version of Commvault software you are using or what release should one use? Is it possible to use 11.38 on a 11.32 platform or should I be expecting operational difficulties? Lastly, what python versions are supported? Thank you in advance, Daniel

Release License API

Hi! I had been using the release license API and it used to work, until today. I am not sure if something changed in the backend, or am I missing something in the payload? Payload1: { "isClientLevelOperation": true, "licensesInfo": [ { "platformType": 1 } ], "clientEntity": { "clientId": 12345 }, "license": { "licenseName": "Server File System - Windows File System" } } Payload2: { "isClientLevelOperation": true, "licensesInfo": [ { "platformType": 1 } ], "clientEntity": { "clientId": 12345 } } Response: { "warningCode": 0, "errorMessage": "", "errorCode": 0, "warningMessage": "" } Even tho I see an error code 0, the license is not released.

Report with Oldest recovery point

Hi, I know that at Command Center > Protect > Virtualization > VM we can get “Oldest recovery point” for that specific VM. I need a report with all VMs with “Oldest recovery point”. Any ideas? I know that “Latest recovery point” is easy and already available at some predefined reports. Thanks HC

Does the reports API accept bearer tokens?

The documentation appears to be contradictory. https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/expert/rest_api_get_data_set.html GET /CustomReportsEngine/rest/reportsplusengine/datasets/<datasetID>/data Host: <host name>Accept: application/xmlAuthtoken: <authentication token> When I attempt to use a bearer token, I get 401 not authenticated.

Hi all, We’re on version 11.36.46 and I cannot get the syntax to work. I’ve downloaded the template and used the syntax from https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/command_line_interface_configuration_postgresql_idataagent.html#creating-a-multinode-cluster-instance but I get: execute: Error 0x911: Failed to process request due to invalid entity information.Invalid clientId for clientName[CLUSTERNAME].Invalid instanceId for instanceName[INSTANCENAME] The new name is unique and has never been used. Has anyone gotten this to work as yet?

Command to change the container of tape media

Hello, I’m looking for a command to change the container of a tape media. In the CommandCenter it’s not possible to change the container and therefore I can’t find an equivalent API. In the Console I’m able to change the container of a tape but even if I activated logging (ALT-F8) there was nothing useful in the logs. I was searching through documentation but found no qcommand or anything to change the container.

MediaAgent Hardware Refresh - problems using Replace MediaAgent app

hi Community, i’m trying to refresh my MediaAgent by installing a new physical RHEL 8 server. I followed the procedure described here: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.26/expert/149337_migrating_to_new_mediaagent_using_replace_mediaagent_app.html but the job “Move Mount Path” failed with message “Failure Reason:[File Read error happened on source MediaAgent, this could be due to some other process is accessing the file. Please resume the job after some time.]” I’m sure to had followed the procedure step-by-step, and i checked if other job was running during the Workflow and was not. But now my doubt is about the process. The app is created to change only the MediaAgent server and the backend storage could remain the same. Right? Thanks in advanced Regards Alex

XML not being properly evaluated in 11.36?

We recently upgraded to 11.36 and quite a few workflows are now having issues. One thing I noticed is that embedded XML is not being properly evaluated it when I look at in in the debugger. I have the instance properties stored in a map and in the XML I extract the properties, which I assume should be evaluated at runtime. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><App_UpdateInstancePropertiesRequest> <association> <entity> <instanceId>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("instanceId")}</instanceId> </entity> </association> <instanceProperties> <instance> <instanceId>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("instanceId")}</instanceId> </instance> <oracleInstance> <useCatalogConnect>true</useCatalogConnect> <catalogConnect> <userName>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("oracleSID")}</userName> <domainName>xpath:{/workflow/configuration/RMAN_CATALOG_DOMAIN}</domainName> <password>java:{workflow.getVariable("instanceProp").get("rmanPass")}</password> </catalogConnec

Assistance Needed to Modify Workflow for Daily Storage Policy Change on All SQL Instances"

Hi, could you please help me with this? We are using the following workflow already preconfigured in Commvault: Demo - Client Group Policy. We need to automatically change the Storage Policy of the SQL Job on a daily basis to meet the copy requirements. The only customization we need is to modify the workflow so that it changes the Storage Policy on all SQL instances and not just the first instance. I really appreciate your support! ​@Mike Struening @chrisknows can you help me please? 🙏🏻😳

custom report

Hi Community does anyone have a custom report they are willing to share that shows only synthetic_full backups that have failed in the last week?More specifically i am looking for a report that outputs just a list of servers with failed synthetic jobs over that last week. nothing else. with the standard reports it shows all sorts of information, like generated on date, or report criteria, and all sorts of details that makes it very difficult (not to say impossible) to convert into a ticket.

Phython SDK - Get All Virtual machines

We are Service Provider and our Dev Team is writing a new Monitoring Script for monitoring the Backup Status of all Backups for each Server for the last 24 hours. They want to use the Python SDK. The Skript is working fine, only problem is to get a list of all virtual machines, because if a Server has no CV Agent installed and has only VSA Backup it is not in the Client list. So my question is, is there an easy way to get all virtual machine names of all hypervisors listed with the Python SDK, we found no sub-modul doing that. Thanks for any help and Best Regards Marcel
