question about application Class 1 license

Hello, I have some question about application class 1 lincense. I have installed around 400+ sql in commvault and if i look to my License summary then i see like 6 sql clients onder te tab Application Class 1. And that not what i want because its using client license.On the sql client i have instal only sql software and after full back i have released license for file system. I do find Mirosoft Sql server on Components in the Application Class Licenses for Application class1. But why another 395 installed sql clients are not listening in license summory onder Application class 1 ?

Problem with client name after Commcell server switch

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

Backup Cloudian S3 Bucket (source) to other library (dest)

We need to backup S3 buckets residing on Cloudian as platform.According to the ‘Essentials’ documentation the repository can be added in the AdminConsole under Protect > Object storage.But in our Console of v11.28.14 there is no “Object Storage” - are we missing a license?So I switched to the ‘Expert’ documentation, which outlines everything for the Java CommCell Console.I was able to create the pseudo-client for the Cloud Apps and create an instance, pointing to our Cloudian system at https://s3-somethingAs ‘Authentication Type’ I use ‘Access and secret keys’ and prepared beforehand in the Credential Manager a ‘Cloud Account’ with vendor type ‘Cloudian HyperStore’ and filled in Access- and Secret Key.But to my surprise, the Credential drop-down only lists credential of the type “Amazon Web Services(Access&Secret Keys)” - so of what use is the Cloudian-Type?Long story short: despite it seems to be able to read the content of the bucket (get/dir, /fileList) it copies nothing and

feedback button in online documentation

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 ?

Hyper-V configuration

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.
