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!

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, 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,Struggling to find a suitable API endpoint and payload to register the client after installing the file system agent via decoupled installation.

Hello team,I'm trying to write a script that executes a powershell script 1st API call works well and I can obtain a list of the VMs and associated GUID$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$cvApiUrl/v4/virtualmachines" -Method Get -Headers $cvHeadersGet -UseBasicParsing for the second step of the script I am getting details of the VMs and store them on a table. foreach ($vm in $allVMs) {    $uuid = $vm.UUID    $vmName = $vm.name    Write-Host "--- Processing VM : $vmName ---"    Write-Host "URL : $cvApiUrl/VM?guid=$uuid"    try {        $vmDetail = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$cvApiUrl/VM?guid=$uuid" -Method Get -Headers $cvHeadersGet -UseBasicParsing After 90 call I got this errorWARNING: Erreur récupération détail VM VM1 (attempt1) : The underlying connection was closed: An u

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?

Hello, hope this finds you well!I’ve been checking the documentation but can’t find a way to make an API call that would give me what I need.What I’m looking for is something that would give me this information:This screenshots refers to what I see when I go to Storage Policy - Copy - View - Jobs For auditing matters I need to extract the job history of certain clients and automating this would help me quite a lot.Thank you in advance for your help and have a nice day.Best regards,

I see that the api.commvault.com has not been updated with information about SP40.Latest version to be selected is SP38Does this mean that api-documentation for 11.38 is the one to use for 11.40, or has it just not been published yet?Planning an upgrade to 11.40 and wants to make sure if there is any changes to the API’s I’m currently using, to ensure a smooth transition.

Hello everyone,We have had a problem with Exchange Backup since today because of the EWS error (see image below). We have already re-entered the credentials for the service account, but unfortunately that didn't help. Does anyone have a useful tip on what to do in this case? We have re-entered the credentials for the service-account at Commvault Exchange Client (see below) 

 I need a user who should delete clients without permission. Can I exclude him somehow in the workflow?

Hi Everyone. currently we use snmp to send alerts from Commvault to ServiceNow. This Creates Alerts in ServiceNow and the Operations team manually create Incidents from the alerts. I would like to change this and I believe Commvault has the ability to auto create the incidents in ServiceNow. I’ve had a little search but has anyone done this and if so do we need to install any software on the ServiceNow side. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks in advance,
