We are running 11.23 and are now suddenly getting the event 7:269 - “A suspicious file [<String>] is detected on the machine [<String>]. Please alert your administrator.”The files in question are all OK, as far as we can see.Does anyone know why a file might be considered suspicious?

Hi everyone, CV supports table level recovery for Oracle database.But the problem is that we’re not able to assess the datafile size needs to be restored.So table recovery can cause unexpected issue like lack of space while doing a restoration. It says all related tablespaces are restored if the tablespace includes table to recover is not self-contained. EXECUTE DBMS_TTS.TRANSPORT_SET_CHECK('sales_dept', TRUE);SELECT * FROM TRANSPORT_SET_VIOLATIONS; So we performed below procedure/command to validate how many tablespaces are dependent.For our customer’s prod environment, only two tablespaces need to be restored for table recovery on top of the targeted tablespace. But the result was totally different what we expected.A table recovery required almost all of the tablespace restore to an auxiliary instance. Why CV restore so many tablespace just for a table recovery?(Oracle DBA says there’s no reason these tablespaces need to be restored. For “Recover table” command since 12c requires onl

To recover the AD password we need to do to run “adLdapTool.exe” before taking backup as per below link but we have daily AD backups are already running and now we need to take backup of AD users with password? how can we do that?  https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/14429_enabling_ability_to_restore_passwords.html

I get this warning message for one of our VMware VMs.  Not getting any specific hits while searching this.  I think this may be a VSS issue but am not sure where else to go with this.  There is no Commvault agent on this VM.  VSS is configured to unlimited.Any hints would be appreciated.

Hello I’m getting some isues with some VMWare backups Error with Virtual Machine change tracking. It may be necessary to power cycle the vm, or contact VMware support regarding the QueryChangedDiskAreas API. Have anyone faced this issue before and have an idea to solve it?

Hello Vaulter,I have enable Volume Snapshot Shadow on the specified volume buit keep getting this error.Failed to create SQL shadow for database [ISW-CAESAR02..caesar]. Source: isw-caesar02, Process: SQLiDAI would appreciate further guide to fix. 

What happens to backup contents from media that an LTO drive reported that It is physically bad? Does the Commvault copy those not-aged jobs from source copy to other media (tape) again or It just prevent reuse the media and retire it after expiring jobs?     

Additional settings registeredBut it's been deletedDo you know why?

the Commvault service on Linux systems is configured with a timeout of 900 seconds.This means, if the service is not properly starting or stopping, systemd will wait 15 minutes until it will fail. $ grep Timeout /etc/systemd/system/commvault.serviceTimeoutSec=900 We faced this problem today when rebooting a server and had to wait 15 minutes just for it to properly shut down because of this. Is there any way of configuring it to a lower value by any additional settings on the commcell console ?I’ve already try to add an additional setting called : nJobProcessRegistrationTimeout ( with a value of 90 ) but it doesn’t seem to help. 

We are employing CIS hardening standards on Windows Server 2019 and finding this breaks the agent push install via Commserve.   Has anyone got any experience of the specific setting that’s blocking the install? Thanks.

Hi All, We’ve created new aux copies to a newly created cloud storage, with Hardware WORM enabled on it.The aux copies use Dedup, the retention on the copies is set to 15 days, and on storage, the WORM lock is set to 30 days on the bucket level.We also run the “Enable WORM storage” workflow to seal the DDB after 15 days.How data aging is working in this case ? How data is pruned from the storage ? After the copy retention has aged, how the MA can prune the data from the storage when the WORM retention is still active on that particular object ? If it cannot be pruned after 15 days, and the MA has to wait for another 15 days (In order for the 30 days WORM storage to expire), can the data still be pruned after 30 days ?Any clarifications on how this process works would be great :)Thanks.

Hello Team, We have 2 different Commvault services on our 2 different CommServe servers. However, these services did not work even though we rebooted the servers, even though they were automatic startup types. We want to know what these services do and we want to know if they are safe to run manually. This one is exist on Active Node:  This one is on Passive Node: 

Hello guys, The Customer has noticed that the StopProc.vbs script that is based in C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Base\StopProc.vbs is always trying to reach the following public IP addresses:104.83.4.209104.83.4.160 104.87.169.183Do you know, what these addresses are? Is it normal behaviour? Rgds,Kamil 

We have certain users who are wanting to be able to create reports for their clients being backed up inside of Commvault. We are wanting to only allow them to view their client(s), libraries, and jobs without the capability of adding/remove/editing/creating. The Only thing we we want them to add/edit are reports that they can create for their environment and that's it. Somehow back in May they were able to stop one of their jobs due to it causing a connection issue to the client causing a network traffic. this was an illegal operation which they performed, and my managment was not happy. I have attached their role profile. I am confused as to how they were able to perform this action based on the role settings. Any help as to get to the reult of what we are looking for is greatly appreciated.

I have successfully set up a pre-scan command and it does what I want.Now I also want it to output a line of information into any of the standard Commvault logs, so that it will appear when I right-click the job > View logs > For the job.The command is simply a line of Windows CMD.exe instead of a script. This is for a NAS backup, using snapshots as the content source, and what the command does is find the most recent snapshot (a different pathname every time) and create a symbolic link to it (the same pathname every time).But it would also be useful to record against the job, in Commvault logs, the name of the snapshot that was selected.I tried adding a statement (echo “Using snapshot <snapshotname> for backup">&2) to see if it would get picked up, but what happened was the Pre-Scan phase hung and the command never completed.Is there any file handle that the Commvault logger monitors on pre/post commands, or do I need to set up a custom logfile for this?For anyone i

Hi Guys, Hope you’re doing well !We have some DDB backup jobs that completes with errors.The job lasts 1 seconds only. In the events, it shows the below message:“job completed immediately as none of the stores are eligible for backup” Do you have any idea on what could be the reason?Thanks a lot for your usual help. Best Regards

Hi,Just tried to install Commvault agent (with File System Core and File System packages ) on a new  Redhat Linux 4 Server but got the below error message  The CommServe version is 11.25.23Checked the username (which is root) and password using SSH, no problem.So, it seems to me, it is the Commvault that is not happy somewhere. I’m just wondering if somebody could point me to the right direction as to where to start to investigate the above issue ? Thanks, Kelvin
