Actually my question is , i have added vmare vCenter in commvault, but the virtual machine is not showing proper way. like not showing left side navigation commcell windows. it is show vCenter tab then expand then virtual server then expand then default then double click and then contend tab and it is showing all virtual machine.don’t want this way.. want showing left side navigation window all virtual machine.How ? any process ?
We are fairly new to Commvault and trying to find ways to speed up and streamline our backups. Using our Quantum DXi appliances for primary hasn’t worked out the way we hoped. We are looking into using Intellisnap on our Pure flash arrays. Here’s what we would like to do:Create a snap on the primary Pure array Create a secondary snap replica to an offsite array Use the secondary snap replica as a source to backup to Quantum disk and to tapeI have a few questions:When I create a new storage policy, it creates a “primary copy” and then I create a “primary snap copy”. I can’t get rid of the primary copy. What is the primary copy’s function in an Intellisnap situation? Can I just ignore it? We are then creating a secondary snap replica to another offsite Pure array. Can I use that replica copy as a source for copying to tape or another disk? It doesn’t look like that’s an option when I create an auxiliary copy.We are running 11.32 FYI. Thanks
Actually, I tried to install the CV agent on windows client system, but not luck it is failed.for that require download software in software cache or else direct push. if it is direct push then, I think install full media that's why it’s failed.Please suggest.
Hello team,i am trying to set up auto recovery , the marked point on the below says we can have a copy at the destination site , but while configuring auto replication i dont see any option as such , any one has idea https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/replication_of_sql_databases_01.html
Hi all,After installing the MediaAgent Package on some Windows Servers (These just require the component and do not not act as a Data Mover or host a DR Share) I get the once a day 64:1142 Critical Code Event logged: Administrative share are enabled on the MediaAgent XXX which could lead to potential security exploits, please review and take necessary steps.Having reviewed https://kb.commvault.com/article/72274 this article only really seems concerned with disk libraries and DR Shares that use an Admin share in its path. I have 2 servers that this is being logged in event viewer for, yet they only have the default C$, Admin$ and IPC$. Should Commvault be flagging the C$ as something that should be removed? Indeed if I apply a reg key (AutoShareServer = 0) the alert is suppressed, but this also removes the Admin$ Share. Are these alerts in the Event Viewer supposed to be triggered for these default Shares by design or is it being over zealous and picking up these in error? The Cri
We are currently using 3-way NDMP backup for Isilon NAS. However, the first full backup takes forever to complete and the NAS data is like hundreds of TB. Dell then suggest us to use 2-way NDMP backup solution with B100 backup accelerator and a new dedicated tape library added to improve the backup performance. Since the new dedicated tape library will be directly attached to B100 (no need to connect to a physical Media Agent server any more), we are now thinking to use a VM as the dedicated Media Agent.We don’t have any experience on how to configure 2-way NDMP backups with a Media Agent virtual server on Commvault, and how to configure the control path and data path. It will be really appreciated if anyone can provide any details on configuration steps. Thanks in advance. Will
Good day Vaulters This question is around hardware and Commvault level encryption. If I have encryption enabled on the Maglib (VAST storage with it’s encryption enable), what happens if encryption is enabled on Commvault? Does it try to encrypt the data on the Maglib that has the Hardware vendors encryption already in place? What is the effect on backup AND recovery performance in doing this?Would it be best to leave Encryption on Commvault off in this case? We do need to also have Encryption enabled ‘in transit’. I know that’s done with Network routes. Would there be a performance impact on operations in using this option too? What will both layer of Encryption do to DDB sizing? I’d imagine it could cause bloat? Thanks,Mauro

Good afternoon I just received this new Article in my mailbox.https://support.commvault.com/Article/Details/82504 According to this article I can now request a Compliance Lock on the support portal.Previously, a document needed to be filled in by the customer and signed/approved prior to the codes being supplied.From what I see, this new process has removed the requirement for customer approval and has given the full authority to one individual with Maintenance Advantage access.Is there any comment on what I’m understanding? I don’t have a test environment to understand how this new process works and it’s less/more secure than the previous procedure. Thanks,Mauro
Background:I’ve been watching videos and reading on the forums (and docs) and all of them essentially say (to install a VMware VSA (a client acting as a proxy server. And also lets assume we have other proxy servers already working, VMware backups configured, etc.. lets say we just want to add more proxies)Java UI: Install a new client to be the proxy (in my case: Windows, and the VM is already built/specced) Java UI: Install these packages: Filesystem, Filesystem Core and “Virtual Server” Java UI: (less mentioned) Add the proxy server to a group or manually add it as an ‘access node” in the “VMware” server instance (or its subclients, if desired).Seems pretty easy… but I’m seeing that all the existing “proxy servers” in my installation (that I inherited) all appear to have the packages delicensed, and no one is indicating this is a “normal step in the setup”.An example of a few of the old proxy servers (that are actively working and acting as proxies performing VM backups) I have:Ques
Folks,Has anyone already faced this issue with certificates when trying to connect Commvault with OCI?The logs below are from the VSP windows client.Steps on the VSP windows client and configuration were based on this link: https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/guided_setup_for_oracle_cloud_infrastructure.htmlNOTE: Obtain the private key, password, and fingerprint for the private key, and copy the private key to the VSA proxy instance: base_folder\certificates\external\ folder for Windows proxies, or base_folder/certificates/external/ folder for Linux proxies.PEM key were generated on MAC following this link: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm#apisigningkey_topic_How_to_Generate_an_API_Signing_Key_Mac_Linux I can see the Commvault server is reaching the VSP windows client (logs below), however it’s failing to import the certificate. 3364 16d4 03/05 23:32:06 ### CvException::init(): func_name=CvcRSA::setPriKeyPEM, file_name=cvc_rsa.c
i have got 3 x HPE Apollo nodes, which i want to deploy Hyperscale X, as per below Commvault Hyperscale X reference architecture document , we should validate version of hyperscaleX in the "preparing environment step". i dont understand how we can check version when we don’t have installed ISO yet on the server.my understand is, we install hyperscale X ISO on baremetal server, and this ISO also contains RHEL.https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/expert/checking_hyperscale_software_version_for_reference_architecture.html. Also , as per below link of “Setting Up the Installation Media”, if i directly mount ISO on each Server A,B,C and then when i start installation on server A, it will also start installation in Server B, C automatically or i need to manually login to Server B,C and start installation ? or both works ?Also link says about using another windows system, why do we need it and how can we access KVM of the new hyperscale X servers ?https://documentation.commvault.com/202
Hi thereWe have Commvault 11.28.102 and have just added a tape library.Under STORAGE\Tape I managed to add the tape, but when I go to slots I can see there that my brand new Tape is marked as Bad Media and the reason that I got is Write Protected.Please advise.Thank you
Hello,I created a selective copy that shoud copy yearly Fulls to tape. it is scheduled to be executed on January 2025 to copy the last fulls of December 2024 But something is not clear for me. Based on the configuration and what I understand,all the last full backups that will be performed on December 2024 should be copied to tape at launch via the schedule policy. (expected on January 2025) Here is the detailed configuration Storage Policy Copies : Storage Policy Copy Properties [General] Storage Policy Copy Properties of [Selective Copy] Schedule policy Why on this copy, I see that is on the Media Not CopiedWhen I click on Media Not copied, I see that some media needs to be copied from the Primary even if we are not at the end of the year 2024 and the schedule doesn’t happen yet (schedule is planned for January 2025 to copy last full of December 2024) Media Not copied list Detail of V_30450 Detail of V_30450I see that some jobs are waiting for copy but that jobs have been run on 2

Hello team!In case of enabling mfa for ALL users / groups, Im wondering if there is any “backdoor” for admin user.In case of lost Microsoft Authenticator app and email access, is there any way to restore access to Commcell, even with help of Commvault supoprt?I cant decide if it’s preferred to enable mfa for all admins (master) users or to leave one admin user without mfa (with a strong password) in case of backdoor.Please for your thoughts.
Hi,I’d like to enable parallel backup config for PostgreSQL databases. I can see I can modify the parallel dump based back up set config to enable parallel backups, but wondering if the default dump based backup set config can have this feature enabled by default?I don’t find any related article about it.For reference, this is the attribute I’d like to get enabled by default:https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/using_parallel_jobs_to_dump_postgresql_database.html Thanks,
Hey,quick question:I am currently unable to delete a media location.My question, is it possible to delete the tape locations via a Qscript?
Hi Team, The Library of Storage Policy Copy, which I marked in the red frame in the screenshot below, will be closed. For this reason, we need to move the data to the "Private Cloud Library" that we have just created."Private Cloud Library" is not listed as Storage Pool when creating new Storage Policy Copy. There are already 2 Storage Policy Copy attached from "Private Cloud Library".The question is: How can I add a Storage Policy Copy with different retention addressing the same Library? Is there a limitation?If I can't get past this, is there any suggestion on how I can move the data?

I have on prem vmware which need to be replicated to azure and we have regular backup set for all the vm’s.I have a media agent and storage in azure confgurued. I added azure in commserv using managed identity.i created replication group and selected periodic replication and in the target i selected the added azure vm hypervisor. It asked me to select a access node so i chose the media agent in azure for that.Now the replication is failing bcoz i can see its trying to backup using the of media agent in azure and it doesnt have access to on prem vm.i selected access node as auto still same, why the target access node being used to backup production vm. what i need is the backup of on prem vm should use on prem access node to backup and whatever operation in the azure side should use azure vm access nodeis this possible?do i need use orchestrated replication in this case ?
Hello, I am trying to NAS backup with NDMP agent but when i am running incr backup its taking to long or de backup faile. The volume have more then 14M small files. What is best practice to backup it? Intellisnap maybe?
Hello. I’ve been doing a lot of reading, I’ve seen the threads on here and I’ve read the architecture guide but I am still a little puzzled as to what I actually need to configure.I would like to apply WORM in the Commcell and object-lock in S3IA.I believe objects will be aged from the bucket when the DDB seals periodically. This happens at the same period as the policy copy retentionI still don’t quite understand why bucket object retention has to be set to twice the policy copy retention.I also can’t work out if I need to add a lifecycle config rule and set the non current version expiration to 2 days. I know this needs to be done for none object-locked buckets that don’t have versioning enabled, but an object-locked bucket does. Does anyone else use worm and ol, what are your configs? Do you see issues where the size that Commvault reports is not the same as the actual bucket size due to objects not expiring? Thanks,
Hello all!We are in the middle of Proof of concept Postgre backup implementation process.No one of our backup team does have any experience regarding this backup type. So far we do have implemented backup that I am able to see those two Backups sets:I am trying to understand the difference between those two subclients. They were configured automatically. I have found this in documentation:So in case that we would like to do Full Backup of All DBs i should use Dump Based Backup?But when creating backup for this subclient (Dump Based Backup)backup size is about 250mb… DB team checked server configuration and it said that DB is more then 3GB: Why there is such a difference in sizes? It was very first backup so i can not blame deduplication or so… While trying to use other sublient FSBasedBackupSet I am having a error with log directory.This DB is not set to use any archive mode, so its in some kind of “simple recovery mode” and its not generating logs file. So my questions are: Why ther
