+3Hello all
We have a problem with Commvault resources usage on the IBM Spectrum Scale server. During the backup at the scanning phase, Commvault uses more than 60% of CPU and RAM
OS: AIX
how can we allocate resources to Commvault not exceeding it?
more explanation why Commvault uses RAM?

Hi
There is no such setting to control memory usage unfortunately. I would not expect any ifind process to consume 30 GB of memory - you should open a support case and have them investigate why the memory consumption of this process is so high. Either it is expected (based on your specific workload and configuration) or there is some sort of memory leak that can be fixed on our side.
+15Hello
The first phase of the backup is scan phase which runs ifind on the client to scan for the files/folders you have mentioned in the content for backup. In order to scan through the files from the directories, client resources will be used. If these are huge in number, the utilization can increase.
What is the Commvault version you are using? How much RAM and CPU you currently have on this client?
You can attempt to split the sub client and attempt to run backups at different times to see if that helps.

I am searching here for limit resources used by Commvault

+15Please make sure to restart the services on client after adding these for the changes to take affect.

+3I know there is an additional setting to control the CPU what I’m looking for is an additional setting to control memory usage also
if you check the attached image above the memory usage is 67% I need to control it
