Does anyone know Commvault can backup and restore "ZStack" VMs?

As titled, any parties did try this in the testing environment without any issue?

All-in-one Configuration installation

I have a very small 5-7 servers/hosts (physical) to protect. I think its about 6-7TB. Have any of you ever installed Cmmvault as an All-in-One configuration? If so, what are some steps you would like to share? I can’t seem to find any link that will show how to do this.

I’m trying to run an intellisnap backup of an Oracle database, but unable to resolve why it’s not running. The array has been added to Commvault properly, intellisnap is configured on the host, but every time I try to run a backup I get hit with the following error message: Error Code: [32:392]Description: Failed to prepare snapshot. : [VendorId [DELL ] for device [/dev/sda] is not matching for DellEMCPS]Trying to troubleshoot the error message and I can’t seem to figure out where I’m going wrong.

Multiplexing with Multi Streaming

Hi All,Data Multiplexing with Multi Streaming, example, a three stream data protection operation is performed with a multiplexing factor of three. J~1~, J~2~, and J~3~ are data protection operations, and each used three streams. There are three drives available, D~1~, D~2~, and D~3~.If there is data multiplexing with a multiplexing factor of three.The first job (J~1~) uses three drives, D~1~, D~2~, and D~3~:D~1~ - J~1~D~2~ - J~1~D~3~ - J~1~Refer above example, may we know more detail as below?- if J~1~ backup only one VM (without client agent) with three stream, will the VM backup in three tape Tape1, Tape2 and Tape3?- if the VM backup in three tape, should it must have three tape drive when restore? What impact if only one drive available when restore?- if J~1~ backup 10 VMs (without client agent) with three stream, is by VM backup in three tape drive? e.g. whole VM1 backup in Tape1, whole VM2 backup in Tape2 and whole VM3 backup in Tape3- if J~1~ three stream backup (with client agen

Information and Version Overview for Outlook Addin

Hi, we are looking for more information about the Outlook Addin.Is there a site, that list the current (and maybe previous) Versions?Also some patchnotes and/or compatibility information would be nice to read.Currently, the only reliable way to get the Version/Buildnumber is to download the software from https://documentation.commvault.com/11.26/expert/29115_outlook_add_in_packages.html Un-Zip the Exe-File and take a look into the CvInstaller.ini to find more information and the build number. Btw. did you know, that the Exe-File on the MA-Portal is from 2019, the file from the docs.commvault.com is from 2022?

Hi,We had an issue with Refs. One of the first matches ishttps://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/9409_refs_for_windows_2012_and_windows_2016.htmlNot believing that W2022 is not supported I foundhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/142211_system_requirements_for_windows.htmlI wanted to give a feedback on the first link but the feedback button is gone.Checking other documentation pages confirm that the button is gone.(description for online documentation still describes this feature)It seems Commvault made a change in behaviour of BOL.How can we give a feedback to a BOL page in the future ?

Azure Stack HCI backup method

Hi Team,I’m currently want to deploy a backup for Azure stack HCI vm backup. As per the documentation online, I can only see at the essential section where it need to configure using command center. When I looked at the expert section, there is no Azure stack HCI configuration. The way it deployed seems that the same as per normal HyperV backup, where I need to install VSA at all HCI node.My question is:Do the configuration only supported from command center and not from commcell console?  The HCI node is based on HyperV core setup, without a GUI, how can I install VSA inside the HCI node? Using command line from power shell? How to run setup.exe (the installer) from the power shell?Thanks and best regards,Fauzi

Replacing Commcell Console server (v11) without outage

I would like to rebuild/replace our current v11 (.28.56) Command Center server (virtualised), that is running the Commcell Console and Command Center, as it running on Windows 2012 R2, which is about to be EOL from Microsoft. Is there an easy to follow procedure to do this, as I could not find anything in the Knowledge Documentation website. Ideally, I would like to build the new command server with the existing one still running, to avoid interrupting current backups, and loss of databases/jobs, etc. Is this easy to do?I will worry about the physical media server separately when the time comes.P.S. I had hoped to do an in-place Operating system upgrade on the existing VM, but Windows 2016 refused the Keep Files/apps option, most likely because the current Console is running SQL 2008.

Azure Storage Accounts as backup repositories and offsite copies + egress topic

Hello community,I’m wondering about cloud libraries redesign to provide offsite copies for resources protected in certain Azure region. Since we don’t have express route in our configuration, I’m wondering how to keep costs low. Basically, we are running at Metallic, but most of Commvault configuration is available to us. So, there are two major scenarios I’m considering:use set of new AZ Storage Accounts with native Geo replication (GRS) to keep egress costs more controlled. So there would be primary copy keep at hot LRS in RegionA and secondary at cool GRS RegionA (replicated to paried region) use Commvault native auxcopy, this will trigger significant egress upon transferring data from one AZ region to another due to extensive data reads. So there would be primary copy keep at hot LRS in RegionA and secondary at cool LRS RegionB  What are you experiences? Will GRS with additional amount or reads caused due sFull etc. generate significant additional costs too? Or maybe there’s someth
