I do a Vmware snapshot backup of the system drive (C:\) and filter out the data disks (all other drives) I do a SQL backup via agent I need to do a Disaster recovery test restore of the server, which means, restore the server so that it is working again. I do the following to restore the server:Restore the Vmware server (Only C:\ drive is available) Adds new disks/mountpoints in vmwareNow I have a server with the restored SQL installation and the empty drives. Only problem is that the SQL server is deprecated. When trying to do a SQL system database restore from Commvault, I would get the message, that the SQL server is not running, which is correct, as it cannot start without the system databases.    Then as I understands it I have two options:Rebuild the master database: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/57350_full_system_recovery_of_sql_server_rebuilding_master_database_quick_rebuild.html Reuild the SQL server instance: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/57356_full_system_recovery_of_sql_server_rebuilding_sql_server_instance.html And after one of the above solutions hopefully have worked I need to do the last thing before I can actually restore my databases:Restore the SQL server instance: https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/57359_full_system_recovery_of_sql_server_restoring_sql_server_instance.html Would this really be the easiest way to recover a Vmware SQL server, where I’m not doing a full vmware backup of all drives? Do any of you do it differently or have any suggestions/inspirations to do it easier, better or faster? Thanks-Anders  Virtualization and Containers Thu, 09 Jul 2026 07:11:41 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/self-hosted-q-a-2/sharepoint-app-principal-missing-11955 Over the weekend, we started seeing errors in SharePoint online backups for all the tenants we backup with the error: “ Failed to validate any of the configured Azure Apps against the SharePoint Tenant Admin site. 1) Please verify the SharePoint Tenant Admin Url. 2) Please check the credentials and permissions for the configured apps. 3) Please ensure Custom App authentication is enabled on the SharePoint tenant.<br/>Source: xx, Process: SharePoint”From logs on the Access Node:CheckOffice365CredModern - Office365 app credentials incorrect : CheckOffice365CredModern - Error is: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. What we have doneVerified the Azure App secrets are not expired Verified DisableCustomAppAuthentication on the tenant is set to false Verified Azure app API permissions: Microsoft Graph:  Application.ReadWrite.All, Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy,  Directory.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Policy.Read.All, RoleManagement.ReadWrite.Directory, Sites.FullControl.All, Sites.Read.All, User.ReadWrite.All SharePoint: Sites.FullControl.All, User.Read.All I understand that Microsoft has deprecated ACS authorization and that new Graph APIs are required, but those permissions have all been granted per https://kb.commvault.com/article/?id=83163I have also checked https://kb.commvault.com/article/?id=84896 and for versions 11.34 and earlier is states “With this value set to false you can now create App Registrations for SharePoint Online without the need of a certificate” (which we have set).

My customer use storage accelerator (SA)  for backups and Aux copies to cloud. Now he asked:How can I easy see that SA was used or not?We are at 11.36.55. First, I asked Arlie but answer seems only partly correct. I am still at the beginning to check all points Arlie told me. Java GUI is not useful in this case. It shows allegedly only results if SA is used. To make a clear statement, I always must check the log file.In the command center, I must differentiate between backup jobs and Aux copy jobs.Backup jobs indeed have a line: storage accelerator yes/no which is the expected behavior.According to Arlie, there should also be a line for Aux copy jobs that clearly indicates the use of SA.I am not able to find. Can you help?My customer needs a clear indication on user level that shows if an aux copy uses the SA or not.We currently analyze logs or the network traffic to get clear results which is not useful. Thanks in advance for your help   output from ArlieArlie saidTo determine if an Auxiliary Copy (Aux Copy) job is using Storage Accelerator in Commvault:CommCell Console (Java GUI):Review the job details for the Aux Copy job. Look for any references to "Storage Accelerator" in the job details. Additionally, you can check the archmgr.log file on the CommServe for the following log entry: AMCS::getPlInfo110 Overriding destination MA as this is detected as CORE MAC] ONLY WITH CLOUD LibraryL]. This log entry indicates that the Storage Accelerator is active for the job.Command Center (Web UI):As of current versions, the Command Center may not always display Storage Accelerator usage for Aux Copy jobs. There have been discrepancies reported where the Command Center does not show Storage Accelerator as being used, even when the CommCell Console does. This issue is addressed in maintenance release 11.36.42 and later.Summary:For the most reliable confirmation, use the CommCell Console job details and/or check the archmgr.log on the CommServe. If you rely on the Command Center and do not see Storage Accelerator usage, ensure you are on a version with the relevant fix (MR 11.36.42 or later).For more details, see:Accelerating Auxiliary Copies Storage and Deduplication Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:53:52 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/getting-started-51/jira-backup-on-premisses-11952 As often, Arlie can't answer my question. The first response is always very confident, but when I ask for documentation, links, or other supporting information, it backs down and ultimately tells me to contact Commvault Support or my Commvault account representative.And Commvault Support has become pretty good at simply forwarding Arlie's answers, so I think the quickest way to get a real answer is to ask here.We need to backup Atlassian Jira. I see Commvault SaaS has a solution for this.But what if I want to back it up on-premisses. Is this possible?Arlie says no problem, simular as Saas, but cannot provide me more info than that.So, my question, can we? And if so, can I find this information and configuation guide online?

Before using it with Commvault, I:    Stamped the tape media.    Used the Delete and Reuse option to erase the existing contents.    Set the tape as Primary media.    Started a backup job.The first backup completes successfully and writes about 1.16 TB of data. However, after the backup finishes, the tape media is usually marked as Unavailable, and sometimes it is marked as Full.From my understanding, an LTO-6 tape should have a native capacity of around 2.5 TB, so I'm not sure why Commvault considers the tape full after only about 1.16 TB of backup data.When I start another backup job, Commvault prompts me to insert a new tape instead of continuing to write to the current tape.I also noticed the following:    If I power cycle the tape drive, the tape appears as Active again in the Media tab.    However, the backup still cannot continue because Commvault displays an "Insert New Media" alert.    I searched for the Start New Media option mentioned in some documentation, but I cannot find it in the Web Console.My main questions are:    Why is the tape media being marked as Unavailable most of the time after the first backup?    Why is Commvault treating the tape as Full after only about 1.16 TB when an LTO-6 tape should be able to store much more?    Why is Commvault requesting a new tape when the current tape appears to have remaining capacity?    Is there a media or storage policy setting that determines when Commvault switches to a new tape?Has anyone experienced this issue before?Could this be related to:    Media policy or storage policy configuration?    Scratch pool or tape media settings?    Tape stamping or formatting?    LTO-6 drive firmware?    A limitation or difference in the Web Console (v11.40.42)?Any suggestions on what I should check or how to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

SQL Server is using approximately 31 GB, while datacube.exe is using about 21 GB.The Commserver is also running indexing, which has 20 GB reserved, and SQL Server has 31 GB allocated.What would be the best way to reduce the overall RAM usage? Is 31 GB allocated to SQL Server too much?I understand that it's generally recommended to reserve about 50% of the total RAM for SQL Server, but I'd appreciate your advice on the optimal configuration in this case. What would happen if I reduced the amount of RAM allocated to indexing or to SQL Server?

We have a big MSP vCenter where a lot of our customers have their VM environment that we protect with Commvault.We currently use server groups that are associated to VM folders on the vCenter. The server group is associated to a company so the VM's are automatically associated to a company. This feels a bit of a workaround but it is working at the moment.I also saw thread Assignment of VM's to Companies which explains this solution with VM tags which is almost the same solution.As the referenced thread is 3 years old, is there a better way to do this?

In this scenario, how can Risk Analysis help identify and classify data that is not already known or defined?Am I missing a capability within Risk Analysis that addresses data discovery for unknown content.  Self-Hosted Q&A Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:51:51 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/news-events-7/celebrating-15-consecutive-years-as-a-gartner-magic-quadrant-leader-11943 We are thrilled to share that Commvault named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms for the 15th consecutive time.Commvault was also ranked #1 in 5 of 6 Use Cases in the latest Gartner Critical Capabilities for Backup and Data Protection Platforms report — including Ransomware Protection, Detection and Recovery, and Hybrid, Multicloud, and SaaS.We are so honored to celebrate these milestones with our customers and partners!One platform.

We would like one company per company that support, and then one company connected to this parent company using the reseller mode for different solutions we are working on with this subcompany. Is this the intended design choice for this type of environment?I’m also having a bit of trouble with understanding the access control to users in multiple companies. How can we control this? At what level should I be creating a user (commcell, parent company, subcompany)? And how do I delegate a user multiple subcompany access or full company access? It seems like I can not give company access to a commcell user. That would mean that I would need to create one subcompany login and role for each subcompany that we create, is that really by design?I can’t really see the vision here in commvaults access control strategy, and can’t seem to find any documentation specific on companies either. Kind regards,Daniel Share Best Practices Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:34:49 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/platform-updates-47/updated-proactive-advisory-transition-from-exchange-web-services-ews-to-microsoft-graph-api-11349 Updated advisory as of June 2026. We will continue to provide new updates as we see further developments and updates from Microsoft around their transition. - Commvault Support & Community teamAt Commvault, we are committed to ensuring your data remains resilient and your transitions remain seamless. We are closely monitoring Microsoft’s retirement of Exchange Web Services (EWS) in Exchange Online and are already engineering the path forward for your backup environment.What is Changing?Microsoft is transitioning from the 20-year-old EWS architecture to the modern, REST-based Microsoft Graph API. This shift enhances security via OAuth-based authentication and provides a more unified architecture across Microsoft 365.The TimelinePer Microsoft, below is the revised planned transition timeline for EWS. They removed the previously communicated June milestone to phase out some EWS access.October 1, 2026: Phased disablement of EWS begins (tenant-controlled). April 1, 2027: EWS permanently retired for all Exchange Online tenants. IMPORTANT: This change applies only to Exchange Online. On-premises Exchange Server environments are not impacted by this deprecation. Commvault Milestone Details We understand that your backup continuity is non-negotiable. Commvault is developing a robust, Graph API-based Exchange backup solution designed to bridge existing API gaps while maintaining the high standards of recovery you expect.Planned Availability: Summer 2026 Target Release 11.44 LTS deployment models supported for both SaaS (Metallic) and Software. Our timeline ensures your environment is "Graph-ready" well before Microsoft begins the phased disablement in October 2026. Dependency on the Microsoft EcosystemAs a Microsoft partner, Commvault’s development timeline is inextricably linked to Microsoft’s API release schedule. While Graph is the future, Microsoft has acknowledged that it does not yet have full feature parity with EWS. What this means for you:Shared Timelines: Our delivery of 11.44 LTS depends on Microsoft releasing stable, production-ready versions of the necessary Graph endpoints. Gap Closure: We are working directly with Microsoft to ensure they address "feature gaps" (such as Archive Mailboxes, Public Folders, and advanced metadata) so that your backup fidelity is not compromised. Proactive Adaptation: If Microsoft shifts their roadmap or delays critical API features, Commvault will adjust our engineering efforts to keep your data protected using the most secure methods available.  Recommended Actions for AdministratorsWhile the transition is still a ways off, there is one key area to keep on your radar:Permissions Prep: Moving to Graph will require reauthorizing Azure AD applications and granting new OAuth scopes. We will provide detailed "how-to" documentation closer to the October milestone. Stay TunedWe will continue to share updates, timelines, and guidance here and through our KB. For full Microsoft guidance, take a look at this blog post from their Exchange team and this Microsoft Learn article.  As always, don’t hesitate to post questions here or reach out to your account team.

To recover the application, we initiated a file-level restore from the VM backup. However, the restore to the original server took significantly longer than expected (approximately 9 hours), which impacted the overall recovery time.As a workaround, we restored the required files to the Backup Media Agent and then manually transferred them to the affected VM. This approach allowed us to recover the application sooner than waiting for the direct restore to complete.To help us improve our recovery process, could you please recommend the best approach to mitigate similar situations in the future? Specifically, we would like guidance on the following:Best practices for performing file-level restores from VM backups during critical incidents. Whether there are any configuration changes or optimizations that can improve restore performance to the original VM. Whether deploying a File System agent for critical application servers, in addition to VM backups, would provide faster recovery for file-level restores. Any other recommendations to reduce Recovery Time Objective (RTO) during major outages.We would appreciate your guidance to help us improve our disaster recovery process and minimize recovery time during future incidents.

I’ve just taken delivery of three HPE servers to act as a HyperScale X cluster to replace my aging HyperScale 1.5 media agent. Does anyone know of a detailed list of steps / project plan / checklist that can be used for such an undertaking?I see the high level steps as:Rack the servers Install the HyperScale OS Connect the new cluster to Commvault Update backups to use the new storage Migrate backups from the old HS 1.5 to the new HS X storage Disconnect the empty HS 1.5 media agent from Commvault Power off the HS 1.5 servers, remove them from the rack, and dispose of them.The reason I’m looking for detailed steps is that I’m sure there are items I’m not aware of that need consideration. Some examples of this are 1) enabling encryption of backups and 2) enabling ransomware protection. There’s probably other things I need to consider that I’m not aware of and I don’t want to get to the end of the process only to realize I missed a configuration from an earlier step.I see this documentation: Setting Up the Installation Media for HyperScale XI’m grateful for any suggestions,Ken HyperScale X Q&A Tue, 30 Jun 2026 19:05:13 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/self-hosted-q-a-2/commvault-upgrade-to-sp-11-40-11924 Hello I am planning to upgrade the CommServe from SP 11.36 to SP 11.40.The CommServe and Web Server are installed on the same VM, running Windows Server 2022 with SQL Server 2022.Is it sufficient to start the upgrade directly from the CommCell Console, or would you recommend using the Media Kit instead?Also, are there any specific things I should pay close attention to during the upgrade process?

The restore job finishes with a successful status, and the database files are restored correctly.Observed behavior: The mongod process starts automatically after the restore. MongoDB is accessible using mongosh. Authentication works successfully. The database is operational. However, the MongoDB service is shown as: systemctl status mongodActive: inactive (dead) The mongod process is running independently: ps -ef | grep mongod The process is not associated with the mongod.service. Additional observations: The restore logs indicate that CVMongoDBUtil launches the recovery process. The MongoDB process starts successfully but is not managed by systemd. Starting the service manually using: systemctl start mongod changes the service state to: Active: active (running) Temporary workaround implemented: A post-recovery script was configured: #!/bin/bashsleep 30if pgrep mongod >/dev/null; then pkill mongod sleep 5fisystemctl start mongod Post Recovery Command: /bin/bash /opt/mongo_restart.sh Request:Please confirm whether this behavior is expected during MongoDB restores or whether the recovery workflow should start MongoDB using the systemd service (systemctl start mongod) instead of launching the mongod process directly.

However, when the Master role changes, Commvault does not automatically prioritize the new Master node for backups. After a failover, we must manually move the new Master node to the first position in the cluster client configuration. QuestionIs there: A native Commvault feature, or A supported best practice that allows Commvault to automatically switch backup operations to the active PostgreSQL Master node after failover, without requiring manual reordering of cluster nodes?  Self-Hosted Q&A Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:26:59 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/storage-and-deduplication-49/commvault-11-40-hpe-tape-auto-eject-issue-during-backup-11927 Commvault Backup & Recovery 11.40 (Command Center - browser-based) when backing up a Windows file server to an HPE tape drive.Environment:Commvault Backup & Recovery 11.40 Browser-based Command Center Backup target: HPE tape drive/library Workload: File Server backup to tapeIssue:During or after the backup job, the HPE tape is automatically ejected.

Self-Hosted Q&A Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:35:21 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/self-hosted-q-a-2/sealed-ddb-and-worm-pools-11209 It has been a while since i last read anything about WORM (Storage Lock) in Commvault and wanted to make sure I`m not misunderstanding or missing anything. My general understanding is that once WORM Storage Lock is configured and retention criteria is met, DDB is sealed. Once DDB is sealed nothing else is written to that DDB.New DDB is created and as per Arlie confirmation, the next job regardless of what the schedule policy may start (lets say an Incremental) that job gets automatically converted to Full Job so the baseline is estabilished. No issue until here unless Im missing something. The above statement used to be in the documentation (not sure if Im just not finding it or it was rephrased) but I simple cant find.Instead when looking at the documentation for WORM: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/commcell-console/recommendations_for_worm_storage_01.html  it says "Add the ForceFullOnWORMDDBSeal additional setting to convert the next backup to synthetic full backup after sealing the DDB for WORM storage lock enabled storage pool"  And here is where I have some questions;Is this saying that IF WORM is enable the additional setting MUST be entered to avoid an actual FULL baseline? And instead run a Synthetic Full? If the above question is answered with a "Yes". We are not actually running a true Full where data is read from clients again, instead SF will read block/reference blocks already written to storage. Is this the new norm for WORM? When was it changed?  If answer to first question is "No" - how exactly are we running a Synthetic Full without having previously ran a Full and INC? I am of the opinion that additional settings are "bandaids" - Does Commvault have plans to remove this and make it as part of the software when WORM is configured. Not having to run an actual FULL after DDB is sealed is great. I`m just making sure Im understanding this correctly.I think I am missing something here, so would be helpful to hear from the community.  Thank you Self-Hosted Q&A Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:17:26 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/virtualization-and-containers-48/olvm-rhv-restore-parameters-11862 Hi All,I’m running 11.40.42 version and while restoring VM to OLVM 4.4.10.7 (RHV) I’ve encounter two issues:target VLAN has not been set correctly. Orginal VLAN has been preserved.  cross-hypervisor restore failed due to problems with attaching disk to VM. It looks like new VM does have Other OS type set instead of Oracle Linux which prevents attaching disk in SCSI mode. I’ve set additional attribute to not delete disk after failed restore and was able to create VM, attach disk and start VMI’m wondering if those two issues are releated and commvault has problems with restoring proper metadata? Anyone encounter similar issues?   Virtualization and Containers Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:03:02 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/self-hosted-q-a-2/install-windows-update-workflow-not-working-after-update-to-11-42-11883  Hi All. We have upgraded from 11.32 to 11.42.90 and after the upgrade the “install windows update” workflow is not working anymore, it gives the below error: Anyone knows why this is happening? Thanks-Anders   Self-Hosted Q&A Mon, 22 Jun 2026 07:31:14 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/storage-and-deduplication-49/dell-emc-powerscale-ndmp-backup-copy-using-higherend-port-11918 Good day to you all,I am experiencing with our Dell EMC PowerScale NDMP IntelliSnap backups across our two CommCell environments.Context: We have two CommCell environments configured to back up Dell EMC PowerScale shares to a HyperScale target. Currently, the shares are split between the two CommCells.The Issue: While the snapshot backups for both CommCells complete successfully, the Backup Copy job for CommCell 1 is consistently failing.Upon investigation, we identified that for CommCell 1, the data movement from the PowerScale server to the MediaAgent is defaulting to a higher-end port/interface instead of the expected 10000 port. Interestingly, CommCell 2 is configured similarly and is performing its backup copies without any issues. Kindly advise on this. Robert.R Storage and Deduplication Mon, 22 Jun 2026 06:23:34 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/community-feedback-31/documentation-feedback-missing-os-compatibility-requirement-for-vm-threat-analysis-11494 I would like to provide feedback on the documentation related to Virtual Machine Threat Analysis.The current documentation explains Threat Analysis behavior mainly from a Linux perspective, but it does not clearly mention OS compatibility requirements between the Threat Scan Server and the guest OS of the VM being scanned.Based on validation in multiple environments, the following behavior is observed: Linux Threat Scan Server → supports Linux VM threat analysis Linux Threat Scan Server → does not support Windows VM threat analysis Windows VM threat analysis works correctly only when a Windows Threat Scan Server is used This indicates a design requirement, not a troubleshooting issue: Windows VMs must be scanned using a Windows Threat Scan Server Linux Threat Scan Server is intended for Linux VMs only This requirement is currently not clearly documented, which may lead to incorrect design assumptions during deployment.

Can someone explain what happens in the following case:I have a VM group that is assigned to Storage Policy X with deduplication, and incremental backups are running there with a synthetic full on Sundays. I then change the VM group’s Storage Policy to Y with a new deduplication database. The chat says that a new full backup is not triggered automatically—instead, incremental backups continue on the new storage.“The practical consequences for VM groups (virtualization, Index V2)—such as no automatic full, and the inability to restore from incrementals after a policy change—are documented mainly in Knowledge Base articles (KB62892, KB62688) and action_items.”However, those incrementals cannot be restored because the new database does not have a physical (true) full backup, and a synthetic full also cannot be created because there is no full.So why isn’t there any warning or information when changing the Storage Policy or Plan that, in the case of a VM group, a manual full backup must be triggered?

I saw this topic: What is your naming convention for schedule policies? | Community but maybe someone has fresh idea.We have VMs, DBs, FS and more. We have about 80 schedules. For a long time we were using something like: DC1-VM-I_I_I_I_I_F_N-21:00 which means: Location, VMs, Mon-Fri Incremental, Saturday Full, Sunday none, 9 PM another example: MSSQL-N_SF_N_SF_N_F_N-21:00-LOGS_4H - I think it's clear (SF - Synthetic Fulls, makes no sense here but it’s just example) But in reality, including DC name doesn't make much sense. There was also no good way to include the incremental backup time if it was different from the full backup time. And it turned out to be better to keep logs in separate schedule policy because it's easier to resue.Now I'm thinking about something like: VM / Inc Daily / Full Sat 21:00 MSSQL / SFull Tue, Thu / Full Sat 21:00 MSSQL / Logs 4h I think it's much easier to read. The Downside is that you can't easily include information like "no backup on Sunday" without hurting readability.Another thing: it would be nice to have these schedules numbered somehow, because when associating a schedule policy with a subclient, they appear in alphabetical order. Ideally, I'd like all full backups to be grouped by time order instead.Share your ideas. It's not the most important thing, but I like when everything is intuitive and easy to use.

Recently, however, I received a request to restore a file located on a .vhdx drive.To retrieve the file, I attempted to use the Guest Files and Folders restore option, which I have successfully used in the past. When I select View Content, the system begins loading the data but then fails and displays the following error message:We are currently running on CommVault version 11.36.102 (We recently upgraded CommVault from 11.36.80 because of this issue and we thought a fix had been implemented in .84 - but this might be different to what we thought)Has anyone encountered this issue before or can suggest any troubleshooting steps?Thanks in advance.

Opened a high priority ticket about a month ago and we’re being told we need to seal every DDB store in our environment and re-base. We have several thousands of VMs with some over 60TB in size. I feel like re-basing is going to take weeks, and we may not even have enough storage to do it. Any other thoughts or ideas would be VERY much appreciated. We had to re-install the software a few times on the new box - They suspect that somehow when the CSDB was moved from the old physical hardware to the new that somehow jobs were written in-between this time that are causing issues but we were very careful during the migration, I selected new DB and used the CSDB Recovery tool after with someone from support on the line the whole time and making sure the services on the old hardware were never started at the same time.The only other issue we had was the Replace Media Agent tool failed on some mount paths, but I assume we’d be looking at different issues in the logs.

The old MA has a Disk Library with 7 mounth paths, most of which are iSCSI LUNs from a couple different arrays. The new MA will have much more direct attached storage, so I’m plannin on just 2 mount points. If I run the Replace Meda Agent App process, and let it run the Move Mount Point process, am I able to consolidate the old mount paths down to 2 during this process, and specify the destination of each of the source MP’s?  I assumed that I can because the Move Mount Path function in the Commcell console offers me the option to move it to an existing device, however the documentation says: The move mount path operation overwrites the destination mount path. Therefore, ensure that the destination mount path is an empty folder.  Can anyone offer any clafification?Thanks!

The planned high-level workflow is: Re-zone the FC tape library to the new HyperScale Edge node. Validate OS-level hardware detection on the Edge node. Use Expert Storage Configuration to perform Exhaustive Detection, adding the new Edge MA to the library while keeping the existing configuration intact. Execute "Change Data Path" on the relevant Storage Policy Copies to point to the new Edge MA. Perform standard MediaAgent Retirement on the old node. I am looking for technical validation of this workflow. Specifically: Are there any HyperScale Edge-specific prerequisites or limitations regarding direct-attached or FC-switched tape libraries? What are the known issues regarding existing Drive Pools/Master Drive Pools during the Data Path change in this specific scenario? Are there any specific CLI commands recommended for verifying the SCSI paths natively on the HyperScale Edge Linux OS before triggering the Exhaustive Detection?

It is not clear see the highlighted RED? Source Computer Stop all running jobs on the CommServe, or wait for the jobs to complete. Disable all CommCell activities. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe node and then click Properties. On the Activity Control tab, clear all the check boxes, except for the Enable All Job Activity check box. This prevents new jobs from starting, except for disaster recovery operations, which you need to perform later in this procedure. Click OK. Take note of all the disk libraries configured on the CommServe computer. Copy the content of index cache folder located in the following location to another accessible location. C:\Program Files\CommVault\ContentStore\IndexCache If a File System agent is installed, copy the job results folder to another location. C:\Program Files\CommVault\ContentStore\iDataAgent\JobResults If you have a disk library configured and data is written to that library, move the local mount path folder to an accessible location. For instructions, see Move Mount Path. Alternatively, you can copy the mount path folder manually. For example, if you have disk library with a local mount path inC:\DiskLibrary, make sure to copy the DiskLibrary folder. rcv01] c:\DiskStorage\1Why do I need to do this if I’m going to reinstall the MA on this computer after the move of the CommServe, I don't think this is mandatory ?? Perform a Disaster Recover Backup to backup the CommServe database. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe node, point to All Tasks, and then click Disaster Recovery Backup. Click OK to run the backup immediately. Verify in the Job Controller window that the Disaster Recovery Backup completes successfully. Make sure you copy the CommServe Disaster recovery backup files (set_XXX folder under your DR directory) on an accessible location. Also note down the location of the disaster recovery backup file.  Note: If you have a Web Server on the CommServe computer, back up the Web Server DM2 database. For more information, see Backing Up the Web Server DM2 Database.  Stop all services on the CommServe. Click the Start button on the Windows task bar and then click All Programs. Navigate to Commvault and then click Process Manager. From the Process Manager dialog box, click All Services in the Services tab. Click Stop to stop all services. Uninstall all Commvault software components from the original computer. See Uninstallations for information on uninstalling software components.   Do not deconfigure the libraries (tape/disk libraries, etc.) when you uninstall the MediaAgent software. Establishing a New CommServe Computer Install only the CommServe software on the new computer. See CommServe Installation for information on installing the CommServe software. Restore the CommServe database and change the name of the CommServe computer using the CommServe Recovery Assistant Tool. See Restoring the CommServe Database for instructions. Note: If you have a Web Server DM2 database backup, provide the DM2 backup files along with the DR backup set during the restore. Update the index cache and job results folder on the new computer with the contents that you copied from the source computer. Inform the Client and MediaAgent computers of the new CommServe name. Important: The approximate time needed for this operation is 30 seconds per online physical client and 20 seconds per offline physical client. Use these time estimates to calculate the time needed to run this operation in your CommCell environment. On the ribbon in the CommCell Console, click the Home tab, and then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window is displayed. Under Maintenance, click Name Management. The Name Management Wizard is displayed. Select Update CommServe for Clients (use this option after DR restore), and then click Next. From the Old CommServe host name list, select the name of the old CommServe. From the Available list, select the clients that you want to rename, and then click the right arrow button t>]. The clients that you selected are moved to the Selected list. Click Finish. The selected clients are updated to the new CommServe name. Resynchronize the Deduplication Databases (DDB). After restoring the CommServe database, any DDBs that are inconsistent with the CommServe database are put into maintenance mode automatically. You can synchronize the inconsistent DDBs to a reusable state by using one of the following methods: Enable DDB in the CommCell Console. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe, and then select Properties. On the Activity Control tab, select the Enable DDB Activity check box, and then click OK. Resynchronize all the DDBs manually. For instructions, see Resynchronize the Deduplication Database. Establishing a New MediaAgent Computer Install only the MediaAgent software in the old computer. (You can also relocate the MediaAgent to another computer, if necessary) See MediaAgent Installations for more information. If you have a tape library configured, open the CommCell Console and change the MediaAgent name associated with the library. See Changing the MediaAgent (Host) Associated with a Library for instructions. If you have a disk library configured, make sure that the mount path is pointing to the appropriate location. If the MediaAgent is Installed on the Old MediaAgent: Share this MediaAgent to the disk libraries that was noted in Step 3 of Source Computer section. From the CommCell Browser, expand Storage Resources | Libraries | <Library_Name>. Right-click the mount path and then click Share Mount Path. Click the Sharing tab. Click Share. In the Share Mount Path dialog box, select the MediaAgent, and then select Local Mount Path. In the Disk Device box, specify the existing Mount path location and then click OK. Click OK. Add this MediaAgent as a data path on all the storage policies associated with the disk library and set this library as default data path. From the CommCell Browser, expand Policies | Storage Policies | <Storage Policy Name>. Right-click the appropriate storage policy copy which is associated to disk library, and then click Properties. Click the Data Paths tab. Click Add and select the MediaAgent which was shared in above section step e. Set the newly added data path as default, by selecting the data path and then clicking Set Default. Click OK.  If the MediaAgent is a New MediaAgent:  Make sure to copy the mount path folder that was copied to accessible location in Step 5 of the Source Computersection. Share this MediaAgent to the disk libraries that was noted in Step 3 of Source Computer section. From the CommCell Browser, expand Storage Resources | Libraries | <Library_Name>. Right-click the mount path and then click Share Mount Path. Click the Sharing tab. Click Share. In the Share Mount Path dialog box, select the MediaAgent, and then select Local Mount Path. In the Disk Device box, specify the above copied path in the Mount path location and then click OK. Click OK. Add this MediaAgent as a data path on all the storage policies associated with the disk library and set this library as default data path. From the CommCell Browser, select Policies | Storage Policies | <Storage Policy Name>. Right-click the storage policy copy which is associated to disk library and then click Properties. Click the Data Paths tab. Click Add and select the MediaAgent which was shared in above section step e. Set the newly added data path as default, by selecting the data path and then clicking Set Default. Click OK. Deconfigure the original MediaAgent from the CommCell Console. See Releasing a License (Deconfiguration) for instructions. Establishing the File System Agent on the MediaAgent Computer Export the metadata records associated only with this client on the CommServe. See Export Metadata from the Source CommCell for instructions. Deconfigure the Client from the CommCell Console. See Releasing a License (Deconfiguration) for instructions. Delete the Client in the CommCell Console. See Deleting a Client Computer for instructions. Import the metadata records (that was exported in step 1) associated with the client computer in the CommServe. See Import Metadata on the Destination CommCell for instructions. Reinstall the file system iDataAgent on the computer. See Deployment - Windows File System iDataAgent for more information. Self-Hosted Q&A Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:35:44 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/news-events-7/announcing-commvault-user-groups-cug-11880 To expand and deepen our global community, we are excited to announce the launch of local Commvault User Groups (aka the “CUG”)! The CUG will be a global network of customer- and partner-facing chapters and meet-ups where users can discuss Commvault technologies and real-world implementations with peers, build product expertise, exchange ideas and best practices, and hopefully have fun along the way. We’re organizing chapters now based on interest and local leadership or existing meet ups. Getting involved and connected is easy:Read and bookmark this page - we’ll update there with new chapters and events Request to join as a member here - this is quick and super helpful. It lets our team know where there is interest so we can aggregate, identify local leader(s), and help facilitate. If you are interested to lead or co-host a chapter, we welcome volunteers! There is a separate leader request form here. As always, drop us a reply with questions or email the CUG team: CUGcommunity@commvault.com.  Who are the Commvault User Groups for? If you are in our Community, they are meant for you.CUG chapters will encompass the range of technical operators and stakeholders who manage real-world implementations and environments, including:Backup / Storage Administrators Cloud & Infrastructure Engineers Data Protection / DR Specialists Security & Cyber Resilience Engineers  Don’t forget to share with your colleagues, and maybe make a few new friends along the way. News & Events Mon, 01 Jun 2026 07:22:16 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/self-hosted-q-a-2/aws-commserve-hostname-11861 We have a commserve in AWS, which host name is its ip address. We can access the web portal with the ip as a url on Windows laptops, however other members who use a mac machine cant. From what I gather from minor research if I create a proxy server with a fqdn this should resolve the issue for the MAC users and the ip cache issue.Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Or have an alternate solution, that does not involve changing the hostname of the commserve itself? Self-Hosted Q&A Fri, 29 May 2026 19:29:54 +0200 https://community.commvault.com/self-hosted-q-a-2/support-for-centos-6-11872 Hi,According to the documentation, version 11.40 of the agent can be installed on the CentOS 6 operating system. However, the documentation only mentions the PowerPC architecture.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/end_of_life_deprecated_and_extended_support_for_platforms.htmlIs this also supported for Intel processors? I noticed that x64 support is available for newer versions of CentOS.

No cloud stuff etc. but an LTO-9 library attached.Why is the fragmentation so high at all. I’ve configured allocation of writeblocks to 1024 MB. But it seems to clearly not do - or keep - that. I hoped to find help in:  But the recommendation to use “space reclamaition” instead of defragmenting sounds like someone has no clue about the topic. If my library is “full”, I can’t reclaim anything and by that it does not help the fragmentation-status the tiniest bit. For DR-use, we not only save the dr-backups (config etc.) but also have a scheduled job running, that backs up (copies) all library-files from storage to our tape library (also enabling us to airgap data frequently - good for ransomware attacks). But due to the fragmentation, our backup process is limited by the RAID containing the library. It’s still “spinning rust” as dozens of TB are pretty pricy on SSD. I saw that you can backup on block-level instead of file-level. As we’re speed-limited by the RAID and not by tape: Would it help us speeding up that process or is that not suitable for such scenario?The idea behind it is: Fragmentation doesn’t matter much, if it’s backed up on block-level, as it’s kinda streaming the disc content. Also in almost every case I would need a full recovery of all files, as I couldn’t use a single one - which would make the library inconsistent and break it (from my understanding). Additionally for block-level backups: Does it still make use of VSS or any consistent snapshot-alike function to ensure it covers all data at that exact point in time? Thx for any answers/solutions/hints/ideas… I wonder if noone else stumbled over that.The reason we backup all library-files is, that we don’t know of any other option to make a DR-backup of the server. We explicitly do NOT want data aging to tape, as that would break the point of a DR-backup.
