Hi @granger383 As far as i am aware this information is accurate. We were also licensed by VM sockets but had to move over to VM Licensing model when we purchased an additional host due to the socket licensing no longer being available.You should be able to work with your Commvault partner/supplier on options to migrate your socket licensing to VM licensing.
I cant tell exactly how much is being used as it is saturating a 1Gbps link. But at least 1Gbps 😂From an aux copy throughput (which i know isnt the best way to monitor as with dedupe the figure can appear higher) i am seeing varying figures:~350GB/hr~150GB/hr~650GB/hr~60GB/hr~250GB/hr~500GB/hrThe figures could vary because of the different sizes of the aux copy jobs but from the network side when the aux copy jobs are running i am definitely seeing saturation of a 1Gbps link.
Hi @Orazan,Yes this is the documentation that i followed.Thanks
Not sure why this has been marked as answered as i was awaiting further information from @Stuart Painter?For reference the license has now been released however no fulls have been run?
Hi @Stuart Painter I know previously when ive had this issue taking an incremental then a syntehtic full once its moved back to the correct hypervisor host has worked fine. Looks like in the below thread this was also suggested as a solutionLicense consumption VM sockets after ESXi IP change | Community (commvault.com)The only change from when i have done this before is that previously i was running 11.21 and now im running 11.24.Thanks
Hi Stuart,Thanks for your reply but this is not how the documentation reads?Usage Calculation for the VM Sockets on Hypervisor Hosts License (commvault.com)This indicates a synthetic full works the same as a traditional full?Thanks
Hi,Once the hotfix has been copied to cache all clients in Commcell Console are showing as “Needs Update” and not just clients with the SQL agent installed. Most show the “File System Core” as the package that requires an update (SP24-HotFix-4552)For Hyperscale it is showing as “Base0 Module” package requiring updates (SP24-HotFix-4383, SP24-HotFix-4413, SP24-HotFix-4485 and SP24-HotFix-4551).Is this expected behaviour and is it best to run an “Update Sofwtare” for all clients and not just the for the clients with agents listed in the “affected” section of this KB?Thanks
Thanks, I actually ended up deleting the user (which also requires you to transfer ownership) and then recreating to ensure it only has the necessary permissions.Cheers
Unfortunately not much to report in regards to resolution. It would seem this is an anomaly as the linked job completed successfully. I will continue to monitor and investigate further with support if i have more occurrences of the issue.Thanks
Hi Chris,in this scenario the SQL backups are being done using a different method but I am needing protect the virtual machine to allow restore. If required, after the restore of the vm the SQL dbs can be restored from the appropriate backup.my concern is in the backup phase of the VM it triggering the sql vss writer breaking the other backup methods backup chain.Assuming Commvault (which is what I’m looking to get confirmation on) isn’t the VSS “requester” and instead VMWare (tools) is, the documentation from VMWare I have read indicates the use of backup type “VSS_BT_COPY” which would mean:Copy Backup (VSS_BT_COPY)—like the VSS_BT_FULL backup type, files will be backed up regardless of their last backup date. However, the backup history of each file will not be updated, and this sort of backup cannot be used as the basis of an incremental or differential backup.https://code.vmware.com/docs/1674/virtual-disk-programming-guide/doc/vddkBkupVadp.9.6.html https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/
Hi @MichaelCapon I've seen that KB but not sure if it applies anymore as the Folder path doesn't exist?ThanksTom
Hi @Gopinath @Mike Struening,Thanks for your replies.When backing up a SQL VM using “File system and Application consistent” is it possible to exclude the SQL side of VSS to prevent breaking a separately configured Full/Diff backup chain?Is it as simple as stopping/disabling the SQL VSS writer or will that cause issues elsewhere ie) if using the Commvault SQL iDA?
Don’t think I’ve explained that well what trying to achieve. Would still like to be able to restore the base OS with the installed applications etc but not the data.example where SQL backups are managed separately but want to backup the virtual machine for quick restore to then handover to SQL team to restore the databases.
@Mike Struening - For whatever reason when on remote session with support re-selecting the scripts in the command center under the client allowed the backup to run successfully with the pre/post scripts running as expected.As for the properties being greyed out in the Comcell. Console I think it was suggested that the Server Plan was restricting the modification of properties.
@Mike Struening checked installed software and it has File System Core and File System.also logged in as the default admin account that was created during install and all options still show as greyed out so don’t think it’s a permissions thing.Will get a support ticket raised for investigation.Cheers
@Mike Struening OS is Windows Server 2012 R2.I removed the script using the Command Center to see if it lit up the options in the Java console which is why there is not anything showing.As far as I am aware this isn't a Snap based backup? I remotely installed the File System agent from the Command Center and used the default subclient by applying a plan to it?
Hi @Mike Struening ,The diag that support provided me has worked and new AppAware backups no longer inherit the schedules from the plan.ThanksTom
Hi @Mike Struening In Subclient Policy I see “<None>”Its File System agent. ThanksTom
Hi @MichaelCapon,That window is all greyed out when i look in the advanced properties of the subclient?@Mike Struening - the above makes it impossible to add the parameters to create the log output?
Hi @MFasulo I don't see that option when i right click on the job or click on more actions. I only see the below options. Thanks
Thanks @gjack!
Updating the thread as I have now received a diag to resolve this issue. Have not got round to applying/testing yet but will update again one complete with the result.
Hi @Mike Struening The diag was for a separate issue regarding the configuration of the User for AppAware backups from the Command Center. Effectively when applying the user it wasn’t actually doing anything so when the AppAware backup ran the job would fail because it didn't have sufficient permissions.I am still awaiting further information on the schedules issue.ThanksTom
Hi @Mike Struening In this instance would it just be a case of using the Commcell console and modifying the automatically created Synthetic Full schedule for the required Storage Policy and setting to “Monthly” “On the last days”?Will this go against any recommended/best practices from a Commvault perspective?ThanksTom
@Chris Hollis,I raised this with support a few days ago so is actively being worked on, I posted on here in case anyone might have had a similar issue and could possibly advise the fix at the time.Initial response from support is that it is not expected behaviour. Once I have a resolution I will update this post.
