Hi,I`m reviewing some of the statistics within the Health Report and one of them is the Scale Statistics which in my case are showing the following; It recommends to run a “DBMaint -recommended” but my questions are;1- Considering I will be upgrading to 11.36 soon. Do I still run the DBmaintenance as recommend separate prior the upgrade or simple cheking the box for DB Maintenance during the upgrade covers it all?2- Proactive DBMaintenance: says it tries to defrag indexes when it reaches certain criterias. Are those criterias documented available to customers? Any alerts that can be enabled in case it fails?3- It shows Commserv DB is 151GB and tempdb and log “too large” - are there published parameters that specify what too large is?4- Is there anything such as a too large CSDB? When is it recommended to spin up a new CS instance? Any documentation on this?Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,In one of my customer, Azure VM streaming backups along with iDA for several workloads being used. I was referring the possibilities to implement Azure VM intellisnap backup and going through some documentation. In context of feasibility study, I am unable to find limitations for performance, granular restores from Snap and Backup Copy both covering for Azure VM snapshot backup and iDA’s on AZURE VM’s like SAP, Oracle, PGsql, MYSQL, MS-SQL. Need community help pointing me to the relevant stuff.Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hello all,Do you have experience with Commvault Cloud Air Gap Protect storage with multiple containers?For example if I have 40TB total space, what will happen if I will create 3 libraries, how available space will be distributed between all 3 libraries. Will it be dynamically assigned, or strictly 40/3 = 13,3 TB for each?

Hi Expert Team,End customer environment is secure site. So they cannot whitelist metallic cloud URLs for storing phase1 of DR  backup. Currently the phase1 of DR backup writes to local disk and phase2 goes to commserveDR policy which is HPE catalyst. I believe we cannot recover from HPE Catalyst using mediaexplorer tool(This I read from other community article). We cant even use Network path for phase1.  So we are planning for creating a filesystem backup of phase1 backup folder(SET**) on disk library. If we do this way can we retrieve the DR dump files using mediaexplorer tool? Please advise. commvault DR backup retrieving from disk library using MediaExplorerhttps://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/expert/cataloging_media_using_media_explorer.html

Are there any issues manually deleting older versions of VDDK from the Base\VMWARE folder?Our Access Nodes are being pinged for multiple libcurl and sqlite3 vulnerabilities on account of having 11 different VDDK versions.

I am looking at creating a storage policy for SQL/Oracle Logs Backups and I do see the the Java GUI gives me the option for a Log Storage Policy as well as it describes its functionalities in the documentation (https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/expert/enabling_log_storage_policy.html).If I attempt to instead create a "Plan", it seems like the option does not exists. Am I missing anything? What is the recommended approach for Log Backups when it comes to the different management interfaces? Should Logs have its own Policy always? Any documentation available that describes the best practices for that particular purpose? In the second screen shot, there would be a list of DDB storage pools. Considering Logs are not Dedup, should that just be unchecked I assume? Thanks

I ran the “Subclients without Secondary Copies” report and there are several records that are there.  It appears in only 2 cases that a subclient was not associated with any aux/secondary copies, and in several more cases there are associations in secondary copies that are still “there” but for delicensed clients.Also: It appears it is occurring with clients/subclients tied to just *one* of my storage policies. All other clients/subclients associated with all my other storage policies look “ok” (and are not showing up on this report).I was under the impression that once you associated a client to a storage policy, the “association” of the client to the secondary copies happened automatically. And when you delicensed a client, the associations were automatically removed. Is this true/supposed to happen always or are there caveats to these assumptions?I’m feeling there is a config or something ‘special” about this single storage policy (it is very old) but I don’t know what it would be t

Hi everyone,We're planning to reduce our retention policy from 90 to 60 days on a Commvault library and would like to estimate the potential space savings this change would provide.We’re particularly interested in two scenarios: Adjusting the retention period on the entire library Adjusting it only for specific subclients Has anyone done this before or know the best way to extract this information (e.g., using built-in reports, custom queries, or logs)? Any help, scripts, or suggestions would be appreciated.I have seen some inconclusive posts in the community page, so I thought I’d ask.We are on v11.32, and do not have the “Data Retention Report” which could provably help. Also was not able to come up with a way to get this information from the “Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report.”I guess a way would be adding up the first/oldest 30 days with of backups, but not sure whether this accounts for deduplication or not. Thanks in advance!

Can PST ingestion be used on a user mailbox subclient in 11.32?I setup an Office 365 app, Exchange Online, within the Command Center. The app is backing up my Office 365 user mailboxes within my cloud tenant. I also have old on-prem mail servers and PST files from other mail severs I’m wanting to include in the user mailbox backup.This led me to PST Ingestion within the documentation. I was under the impression when setting up the user mailbox backup that operated the same way as setting up a user mailbox client in the Commcell as an Exchange Online through on-prem active directory and that PST ingestion could be added to the user mailbox subclient.However, when I go to subclient, navigate over to the PST Ingestion tab in the Commcell, I get no options when right-clicking in the client space. I wasn’t sure if this was a problem with my Commcell GUI so I tried it on another node with the Commcell installed and still nothing. Is the way I setup this user mailbox subclient through the Com

Hi All, Can any once please share Commvault OCI architecture guide pdf and Commvault Best Practices for OCI and OCVS(Oracle Cloud VMware Solution). Regards,Rahul Raina

Does anyone know if Commvault is going to include the ability to backup Jira and Confluence (Atlassian) any time soon?

Hello, We currently use a Physical Tape Library (PTL) for secondary copies with long-term retention with a single generation of tape drives: LTO-7. Our plan is to upgrade the PTL and install LTO-9 or LTO-10 drives alongside the current LTO-7 ones. The main reason is the amount of tapes in long-term retention that would be very costly to copy over to LTO-9/10. Since neither LTO-9, nor LTO-10 is compatible with LTO-7, we would need to keep some LTO-7 drives to read from LTO-7 media alongside the new drives. Is Commvault capable to recognize the LTO generation and use the compatible drives and if not, would it be possible to configure this manually so that the correct drive is used for the tape operations? We run v11.32. Thank you,Zoltan 

Hey,we are using Intellisnap Snapshots with NetAppQuestion is, is there a possibility to modify the snapshot Name with a prefix or suffix like “daily” “weekly” or something else? I only found the general Naming convention:https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/naming_conventions_for_snapshots_created_by_netapp_array.htmlNo other options. Thx & BRMarcel

Hello,we have many vCloud Hypervisor in our environment.We have one Master Org Hypervisor and all other vCloud Hypervisor are created with “Create Org Account” then it is referenced to the master.For some reason, I dont know why, 3 of our vCloud Hypervisors lost the reference to the Master Org Hypervisor and backup was not running anymore.I found no way to reconnect the vCloud Hypervisors to the Org Master. Workaround solution was to create Hypervisor new with other name and during creation you can connect to Master. So my question is, is there a possibility to recreate the connection to the Org Master vCloud for existing vCloud Hypervisor. So I only found it when you create a new one. Editing is for this not possible. Via API I did not found anything which is working.Thanks & BRMarcel 

Good morning,I’m facing the same problem as it was resolved in I know this issue in production environment, where a commserve was not turned on for a long time, protecting against false dataaging. The solution to have a GUI Process manager opened and entering the string (I acknowledge and so on) is not available on my DEV-Env where I only use a UnixCommserver with the bash.I tried to get the parameter within the commandline process manager commvault -all (and e.g. - I acknowledge and so on)but unfortunately it is not available.Did anyone have this problem as well?Best regards

Hello Commvault Community,I recently installed Commvault in a test environment and am encountering an issue with administrative tasks.I currently have only one profile available, which is the default admin account, and I do not have any other accounts. However, when attempting to delete clients, libraries, or storage policies, I receive a message stating that the request has been sent via email and will be processed once approved.I have verified that my admin user account is configured as an administrator and has the appropriate roles and privileges. I would appreciate any guidance or solutions you could provide to help resolve this issue.Thank you in advance for your assistance.

It looks like the version on libcurl.dll in the base commvault path needs to be upgraded in general:/opt/commvault/commvault/Base64/VMware/vddk/VDDK602/lib64/libcurl.Has anyone done this yet? Or will an upgrade of CV resolve the issue?

According to the sizing grids:https://documentation.commvault.com/11.20/hardware_specifications_for_deduplication_mode.html  I might need two media agents per site for my storage load.  This provides  for up to 1000 TB storage and, assuming just the 1st column - 1 DDB location per node.  So two DDB locations. From what I’ve read: Using Windows NTFS (simply, no other M$ features at the moment), we cannot share the mount paths (SAN...) as NTFS isn’t built that way.  Thus, we can’t load balance between the two of them.  All we would have is a failover ability, correct? The DDB location - we would have one DDB on each node?  One DDB on the first node, with a location (or, “path”) for MA#1 and one path for MA#2?  If so, MA#2 would NEVER get used as we can’t load balance because, as it states in #1, the second MA can never be used except in failover. Thus, the second DDB is never trained on data and thus has no DDB, meaning the Storage explodes in size while DDB Location 2 is trained? I can’
