Self-Hosted Q&A

Hi,I need to bulk restore hundreds of small jobs with some kind of batch or CLI.What do you think is the best way to achieve this?It should be as automated as possible. There are only about 6 Windows sublients, but around 1200 jobs. Every job is from 1 single day.Restored data should go into some kind of automatically created directory structure on a SMB share with one folder for each date.I saw there is the button with “save as script” to get a script for a starting point. But I thought there is maybe another better solution. I saw there is also a Python SDK for Commvault.What do you think?  

right now, I have backups to disk. and once a month, backup to tape as well.The indexServer backups follow the same storage policy and will write to tape as well, but often it will just use a new tape from the scratch pool and ‘waste’ a few tapes for very little data.I would prefer to consolidate all indexServer backups to a single tape in a different scratch pool.That way, our monthly offsiting will include only one index tape instead of multiple index tapes with barely any content.I’ve created a seperate scratch pool with the appropriate barcode pattern, but how do I configure the index backups to use that scratch pool?

I have a SAP HANA Client named HANA_CQN which was previously using an old storage policy named SP_Tier2. I created a new storage policy named StgP-Tier2-ECDC and I migrated my SAP HANA Client to this new storage policy by changing all the Storage Device Storage Policy Property settings to this new storage policy. But when I view the Properties for the old storage policy SP_Tier2 under the Associated Subclients tab, I see that the SAP HANA Client named HANA_CQN still appears in the diagram. The diagram indicates that the client is still associated with the old storage policy because of the fact that it belongs to two Client Computer Groups. But looking at the properties of the two Client Computer Groups, one group involves an automatic association query of 5 storage policies including the 2 storage policies in this case. While the other client group is an individual manual addition. And as such, there doesn’t seem to be a direct connection between the Client Computer Group and the indiv

Hi Guys, We need to renew the SSL certificate for tomcat.  Would like to check the complete process for this ? Whether we can use the old CSR file as no changes were made in the environment.Regards,pank1988

Hi there, Two days back with my seniors, I created a disk storage but unforeseen disabled deduplication. After giving artefacts to my client for that disk storage, they are asking today to enable deduplication but now I am not getting option to toggle deduplication button to enable except delete disk storage. And production data written onto it in the two days.We tried using command center. How can we enable deduplication for future backup data. Is it possible? Please advise. Hari

Hi there, Please advice, can we insert cleaning tape in tape library from Command center. I am not getting option or may be I am not able to find it.I am aware of CommCell console but not of Command center. We can add drives, zone MA with TL. I am novice to CC, therefore taking help and guidance from experienced persons to learn. Hari

We have LTO4 tapes that contain backups that we would like to move back to disk. Is that possible? If so, how can it be accomplished? Thank you for your time!

AFAIK there is no prebuild FREL image available for Hyper-V at the moment.Are there any plans to distribute a FREL image for Hyper-V in the near future?

Hi Commvault team, I am learning Commvault from YouTube videos but having some doubts.Please mentor me.Can we install Command center on Linux machine. While restoring VM(s), we require vCenter server or ESX using VSA. Can we use “activate” section to find redundant data on client computer configured in CommCell. Do command center support SAN disk and cloud storage (S3) [as new tech. storage] or it uses “tapes” [Traditional] too.

Hi :) Is it possible to restore a DB from within sql management studio when using commvault for backup ?  I can see restore point from within the management studio but when I try to restore it cannot as it looks on the E drive and thats not where the backup`s are located. They are located on an isiloted storrage media, do you know if it is even possible, would be nice if some admin users where able to restore without contacting the backup backend team :)Br Martin

VM backup that is completing is not showing upThe Commvault software was removed from CLIENT1 and we added the CLIENT1 to the VM backups.I am backing up a VM in Commvault named CLIENT1  but I am not able to see it in any client groups.We are able to view all other VM’s not named CLIENT1.   

Hello!I have a newly deployed Commvault environment for one of our customers. We have 10 VOI licenses to cover 10 VMs being backed up by this solution.Recently an extra VOI license has been consumed bringing us over our license threshold. Upon investigation I discovered our Media Agent server is now consuming a VOI. In the license summary report, the media agent server is displayed under the “Current Virtual Operating Instances” table but is not shown under “Virtual Operating Instances - current usage” table, so I am not able to pinpoint why exactly it is consuming the license.The Media Agent server is not shown as protected under virtualization, file servers, databases, etc., and should not be. I did notice that the “Virtual Server” agent is installed under the CommCell > Servers page.Currently this is not an issue as we are still within the evaluation period, but I would like to solve it before it becomes one. Any help is appreciated! Commvault version: 11.28.32

HiA while back I setup Salesforce backups with commvault using AWS RDS Postgresql. Our company uses AURORA RDS as default and at the time it was said that Aurora wasn’t supported.https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/93007_postgresql_requirements_for_salesforce.htmlSupportPostgreSQL DatabaseAmazon RDS for PostgreSQLAmazon Aurora for PostgreSQL version 11.9Azure Database for PostgreSQLI now come to DB upgrade time and see that Aurora is now supported - but a pretty old version of Postgres. All the the other versions of postgres don’t specify a version?So I guess the question is why is the stated version the only one supported?(11.9)  or has documentation not been updated?Any help?Mike  

Morning,We’re moving to ONTAP 9.10, which means only SnapDiff v3 is supported.  In the CommVault docs I can only really find what CommVault versions support v3, nothing really about what needs to be configured.I’ve seen from other topics here, that our commvault user needs an “access tokens” role on the NetApp, is there anything else that we need to look out for?Thanks.

Hi, We are currently running 11.24.48. After the upgrade from 11.24.29 to 11.24.34, I was unable to log in to the Commcell Console using my AD admin account.Web Console works fine, and I can log in there without any problems.For the time being, the only way to log in to Commcell Console is using a local admin account. Is there a parameter or a setting that prevents us using our AD credentials since 11.24.34? Upgrading to 11.24.48 hasn’t solved this issue.Thank you,Zoltan

I am looking for a comparison between Windows and Linux media agents. I have done some testing between the two and not seeing anything that will make me say “Yes, we need to do Linux now!” I am actually seeing that I would have to deploy additional infrastructure for items like Live Browse if I went to Linux as Windows proxies would be needed.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello everybody,hope you had a good time and wish you a great 2023!Let me ask you a little question. We are about to decommission few VMs out of about two hundreds running on a vCenter, therefore we are planning to stop backing up them, but we would like to save the latest full backup for six months. How would you do that?One idea could be to create a dedicated subclient with the VMs being decommissioned, associate it with a new storage policy with six months retention copy and finally run a manual full backup.Is there any better (and smarter) option?Thank you!Gaetano

We are needing to remove Commserve and MediaAgents from the Windows Domain.I found the below post in the community. I was wondering if anyone had actually done it and what was your experience? I can not find anymore documentation than just this one post. Does anyone have a more detailed step by step instruction and any pitfalls to lookout for? What was your experience like? Remove Commserve and MediaAgent from Windows Domain 7 months ago 1 reply 190 viewsFUserlevel 1+5 flokaiser Byte 18 repliesHi,I have a customer who wants to remove his Commserve and MediaAgent from the existing Windows domain. Is it enough to do the steps in this Documentation Article?Changing the CommServe Computer Name (commvault.com)The Hostname itself should be the same as beforce but without being in the ActiveDirectory and the DNS Entries should be untouched. Kind RegardsFlorianiconBest answer by JBurattiHi @flokaiser,There should be no major issues when removing the Commserve form the domain.  You do need to

Hi, We have few Windows Media agents that has DDB with 2 partitions.Each partition is hosted on a different volume of course.The volumes use ssd disks and we plan to upgrade these disks to a higher capacity ones.What is the best practice here ?Use the move partition option, as described here - https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/12582_moving_deduplication_database_to_another_location.htmlor use this option ( Never used it before )https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/12588_moving_deduplication_database_for_hardware_refresh.html Thanks
