Hello Commvault community, In one of our customer environments, we currently have a small setup with a dedicated CommServe (CS) and a separate MediaAgent (MA) handling Office 365 backups.We now have a request to "merge" the CommServe role into the existing MediaAgent system, effectively combining both roles on a single machine.I'm aware that it's generally not recommended to run the CommServe and MediaAgent roles on the same system, as per Commvault best practices, due to potential performance and scalability issues. However, is there any supported way to make this happen, especially in a small environment?Is this scenario technically possible, and if so, what steps or considerations should we follow? I would greatly appreciate your feedback, experiences, or any references to documentation that could help.Thank you in advance!Nikos

Hello,We received the other day the following notification from Azure about .NET 6, which concern our Azure VMs:.NET 6 will be removed from Windows Server 2022 Marketplace media on 13 May 2025I assume that after a simple Commvault FR upgrade to 11.36 or higher, the problem ceases to exist, without any manual / additional actions in Azure VM, right?Please for your feedback.Best regards,Nikos

 We have configured WORM storage lock for NetApp storage Grid bucket. As per documentation, the lifecycle policies need to be configured on storage end to remove delete markers from versioning.We have retention for 30 days. Now the questions ->lifecycle rule to delete non-current versions after how many days ?->Doesn’t commvault clear the versioned objects after the retention period is completed ?->As per documentation, it was mention Deleteobjectversion permission is needed for Access keys.Does it means Commvault will auto delete the versioned objects after retention ?  For a bucket with versioning enabled, you must have the DeleteObjectVersion permission to delete versioned objects. S3 Compatible Same tasks a

Hi all, I’d like to ask for clarification regarding the upgrade process of a Linux Media Agent in Commvault.When upgrading from an older version (e.g., 11.24) to a newer version such as 11.36.60, is it required to perform the upgrade locally from the Linux server, or is it possible to upgrade the Linux Media Agent remotely through the CommCell Console?Also, when preparing the installation media, is it necessary to download the full Unix media kit (e.g., 11.36_Unix.tar) or is it sufficient to use just the maintenance release package (e.g., 11.36.60_Unix.tar)?I’ve encountered the following message when copying to software cache:Copy hotfixes is skipped for [C:\temp\linux113660\11.36.60_Unix.tar] because the media is not available for it.Any advice or best practices for upgrading a Linux Media Agent would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good day  I am familiar with a Domain Name Change on a Commserve using the Name Management tool.I have Livesync enabled and just want to clarify how that option would work.On both Commserves I will add a DNS entry with the new domain name.When I run the Domain Name change, that change will update instance001 of the Primary Commserve. I assume that the 3rd page of the wizard will show me instance002 of the Primary and Secondary Commserves and I can push the update there.How would I update the domain name on instance001 on the Secondary Commserve? Does Livesync take care of that or is there another option I should use?I hope that makes sense.

Hi.I am planning for the migration of TSM (Spectrum Project) backup data to Commvault.I have a couple of questions around the configuration:1. For backup data from Linux TSM clients, a Linux Commvault Proxy/Staging client is required?2. Same as above for Windows TSM clients, then a Windows Commvault Proxy/Staging client is required?3. Do these staging clients need the Web Server and Index Store package installed or can this run centrally from the CommServe?Please add anything that should be considered.  Thanks.Ignes

Anyone else experiencing the problem with Office 365 when trying to run a restore where the options were recently changed? Exchange restore I can only restore the items to the original mailbox or I need to pick another mailbox. I no longer have the option to restore to PST file. SharePoint, I can only restore to the same site or I need to pick another site. The option to restore to disk is no longer available and the same goes for OneDrive. I don’t like the limited options now for restoring Office 365 files.
