Hello,We recently moved Commvault/Commcell to a new server (same domain) because the old one did not have enough place on it for the disks backups.We had it installed on a server named SPGEOFS01We moved it (the technician) on new server called SVGEOCVCSNow, the name on the new client still is SPGEOFS01 I want to add the old Commvault server that still exists and was wiped to host data (SPGEOFS01) But I get conflicts since the name has not changed to SVGEOCVCS everywhere and it tells me that the client already exists.Did our technician do something wrong during the switch ? How can I fix this ? He says it can be days before he finds a solution. Thank you for your help,Felix

I’m Looking to create an aux copy to an AWS S3 bucket from ON Prem hyperscalers.  What are best practices in terms of enabling WORM on the bucket?  Is there anything that needs to be done with the ddb on the hyperscalers in terms of operations/maintenance?  Thanks.

We had a working Cassandra backup (6 nodes) in a production VPC.  Recently DBA’s added “DR nodes” from a different DC as part of the cluster.  Now the backup is picking up all nodes and failing.  Is there away to restrict what nodes we will be backing up?  Basically nodes from dc1 are porduction and dc2 are DR.  we only want to backup dc1.Thanks for any help you can give.Chuck

Hi,We are planning to upgrade our commvault software version 11.20.46 to the latest 11.26.x (If still supported). Below are our inquiry. If our active Capacity license can cover to perform or assist us on the upgrade by the help of CV Support team? Under Commcell Environment Upgrades documentation, we can see a lot of information's about the upgrade and procedures. Being new to this backup software this cause confusion. Is there a way to provide a specific upgrade procedure base from our current setup/environment including compute requirements? (see our current Commcell environment below) Other component that need to upgrade and procedure as wellOur Commcell Environment:Commvault software version 11.20.46 Target version is 11.20.26 we have a CVFailover in our CommCell environment.

Hi There,I am getting issue on Linux Manual installation here is screenshot of the error https://prnt.sc/mOLMbaY38-n7 I have already open the port 139,135,445,8400,8403, and disable the firewall as wellShow less 

So we have two sites… one media agent at each site.  Each site has a Primary backup to that sites’ MA with a secondary going to the other site.   It’s been this way for years. In THEORY, with each site writing to itself and copying to the other, using dedupe/compression… one might think both sides would look roughly the same - as it’s the same “stuff”.  However, one site is ~290TB while the other is 440TB and growing. I’ve talked to support to find out if there was a way to reconcile this difference and, while they were extremely helpful, it seems that life’s answer is “with dedupe and compression, you’re not guaranteed the same size when these things are involved.  You’re just going to have to purchase more space at the larger site”.   Don’t get me wrong - we’re backing up more than a petabyte of data on each site, but it seems like one’s just far less efficient than the other. Has anyone else faced this situation, and how did

Hello,I have a simple question. Is it safe to change storage policy for a subclient? Is there any data loss posibility? Do remain old data in the old storage policy?I am asking because I need to temporarily change disk library to tape library and because data are not synchronized it is not possible to promote secondary copy to primary.  

How do I to remove orphan storage policy with no associated subclients?

Hi everyone, I’m new to Commvault Backup. So pls can anyone tell me how can I download the Commvault Backup Software? Please guide me in step by step process to install.

Installation of Hyper-V cluster in commvault. Agent Virtual server installed on the commserver and on the 2 hosts of the hyper-v system.The client in commvault has been created with the name of the cluster and with the 2 hosts as nodes of the virutal server Hyper-VNow the problem is that I see only the first host in the browse of the subclient. And all the VMs of this host. Can you assist me? If I select only the second host as node, I can see all VMs from this host, so I presume that’s not a permissions issue.
