How to calculate how many streams are in use or being used at any given time by a storage policy, etc

Background:I see a single job running in a “Waiting” state that has this as the reason for waiting: “All device streams configured to this Storage Policy including their multiplexing factor are in use. Advice: Please check the jobs currently running to this Storage Policy. Current job will run once a stream becomes available.”Doing some searching: The CommVault docs go into an in depth of what streams are, how to set the maximum allowed streams (at several levels/areas, like at the storage policy level) and all I see of ‘other jobs using this storage policy’ is a single running job claiming to be using 10 readers. The storage policy is configured to use 70 streams, the job stuck in waiting is set to use 8… I’m not sure why there are not 60 streams available….but it got me wondering: Question: is there a way to determine (like with a query or a report not manually clicking on each subclient or going through a gigantic report and manually summing up stream counts by hand) how many stream

Do Oracle DB restores supports multiple streams?

Hi, I see that the stream count is defaulted to 2. But I also read the all restores are single streamed except for a few iDAs. And oracle iDA is not one of them. Regards,Pedro

Have to delete some particular jobs

Hi teams, Have a good day, I needed a help. One of my clients has a backup issue related to indexing. I have also taken help from support but the issue has not been resolved, maybe the experiment is going on. If I delete the data from the problem job and then take a new backup, will it be ok? This is an issue of 20 days jobs. ThanksAmol

The VSS files become bloated. Can this come from Commvault?

Hello everyone,a customer contacted us and reported that the VSS files on the domain controller were bloated on C:\System Volume Information. He suspects either Commvault or VMware. I looked at several things but couldn't come to a clear conclusion. Maybe someone here knows this behavior and can give me a tip for the solution if this comes through Commvault. Kind RegardsThomas

OneDrive backup, active vs inactive data.

Hello, Hope someone can help me understand the OneDrive Active vs Inactive data. Not so long ago, we migrated our users over to Microsoft O365, and activated backup of Exchange Online, OneDrive, sharepoint and Teams.  For OneDrive vi had about 23TB of data for about 22.5K users.   And under Protect > Office365 we could see the “Backup Size” and same with a Dashboard element showing top 5 largest servers.   OneDrive was one of our largest servers.   But about two weeks ago the OneDrive storage dropped from almost 24TB and down to 2.52TB. When i go to OneDrive in Commandcenter and look at “Details” under Backup Stats, i can see that Active size is 2.52TB and Innactive is 21.94TB.  From the Microsoft 365 admin console i can see no problems.  So my question is regarding the Active and Inactive data.   Might this be that the 2.52TB is data that has been changed since the last backup, and inactive is old unchanged data?  Or is it that the inactive data is actual data commvault think has b

Communication error between VSA proxy and media server

HelloMy VSA proxy server has issues communication with the media agent. cvping works, and also test-netconnection. The media agent has 2 NIC, admin and backup. Admin network is not reachable for the VSA proxy. There are 2 DNS records for the media agent.mediaagent.domain.net and mediaagent.backup.domain.netNot sure if it matters but the media agent is registered in the commcell with the admin hostname, mediaagent.domain.net Anyway we have created DIP and backup networks so the VSA proxy actually tries to connect to the correct IP address. But in cvfwd.log I get the following: ######## ######## Switching fd=952 to non-blocking modeConnecting fd=952 to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403Completing connect() for fd=952Successfully connected to xx.xx.xxx.12:8403=> HTTP/1.1 POST xx.xx.xxx.12:8403ERROR: cvfwd_iot_wait(): Socket READ failed.

Command Center Data is "old" vs Commcell Console

Hello, I've noticed that in several situations, when somethings is done through the Commcell console, there is lag until that reflects in the Command Center pane.Why?Is there a way to speed up this and have the information in Command center refreshed?Example: delete a few jobs from SP. Command center disk lib usage does not reflect the change in disk usage. Commcell does. Regards,Pedro

Again - any way to determine what makes a "suspicious file" trigger happen?

In the past few months, “file activity anomaly alerts” have been exploding in my commvault warnings. Consider this thread a continuation of my previous thread here. For instance, we have Microsoft Configuration Manager use its built-in backup function to back its files/databases up twice a week to a location on our file server, and then later Commvault backs up the whole file server.Here’s a few of the files which it always sticks on, some related to Config Manager, some random other onesDescription: A suspicious file [P:\Project\Staff\DISASTER\SCCM\SSCBackup\CD.Latest\SMSSETUP\AI\LUTables.enc] is detected on the machineDescription: A suspicious file [P:\Project\Staff\DISASTER\SCCM\SSCBackup\CD.Latest\splash.hta] is detected on the machine Description: A suspicious file [K:\Users\Choi2\R\4.2.1\file3ea85e644f6c\spatstat.random\R\spatstat.random] is detected on the machine Description: A suspicious file [M:\TSProfiles\Buetz.v6\.conda\pkgs\tornado-6.2-py39hb82d6ee_0\Lib\site-packages\torn
