HyperScale X manual cleanup ?

Hi, I just start a new config on three nodes for HyperScale X.I was in the cluster creation of the Commander Center and during the creation it fails because one of the nodes (3) was not ready !I’ve tried to delete the HyperScale X Cluster from the command center, it disappeared OK.But now when I try to create a new cluster I’m only seeing the node 3 (the one that was not ready in the first creation !)Is there any command line that I can run to cleanup the fail install on node 1 and 2 ! or it’s going to be faster to re image the two nodes !

HyperScale X on air-gapped environment

Hi There.I am searching for technical resources on how we setup an air-gapped environment.The idea is to have an isolated HSX cluster that we air-gap from the production HSX cluster and used only for Aux Copies long retention.I checked the online documentation and the internet on how CV achieve this with no luck. I want to use a VM as a network gateway proxy with blackout window and network topology. I just didn't find how we can automatically shutdown and power up the VM to isolate the air-gapped environment.Searched for workflow but couldn’t find anything relevant.Anyone did this before and if so how was it done ?ThanksAbdel

Adding nodes to existing HyperScale X

Hi, I’m trying to add 3 nodes to an existing Hyperscale X cluster ?It’s a brand new installation, the cluster is up and running in with the first 3 nodes.Now I’m trying to add 3 more nodes, do I need to create a block with “cvavahi.py...” on those 3 new nodes as well and after that I will have the options in the Command Center to add them all under the one already there  or ?Thank you, it’s the first time I’m adding nodes to and existing HyperScale X cluster and I don't find any documentation on this !

Data Domain BoostFS with HyperScale X?

Is it possible to install the BoostFS library on a HyperScale X Media Agent, and if so is it supported?I’m looking to write a additional backup copy to storage outside of the appliance and hope I can do it in a deduplicated manner rather than having to send a full copy to the data domain.  The topic of BoostFS is discussed on https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=9404.htm#o132281, but nothing specific to HyperScale X and BoostFS at https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=128105.htm.Thanks

HyperScale X performance went time come to auxcopy to tape ?

Hi guys,  I'm having a customer who is actually using Standard MA with Commvault to back up to copy 1 to disk (PureFlash with NVMe Drives), copy 2 (and other PureFlash) and a copy 3 to Tape around 350 TB per week to send to tapes (LTO7) 4 tape drives (weekly Full) at a sustain throughput of 700 GB/Hour per drive (4 drive in parallel). We are looking to replace both MA with two HyperScaleX clusters.  The questions are ! How we need to configure the HyperScaleX (reference architecture) to sustain the weekly tape creation of 350 TB per week with the same throughput knowing that we are going to use NearLine SAS in the HyperscaleX Cluster !  Or ca we use SSD for the Storage Pool drive in a HyperScaleX.

Hyperscale X node rebuild benchmarks

Hi community,Are there any benchmarking numbers on time taken to rebuild a replaced Hyperscale X node. Could be based on TB/hr or full rebuild per size/model. N24 with 16TB drives are most interesting for me. /P
