Hi,I am using the commvault tool first time and I have added my window machine in commcell, now I am going to install the agent on that machine but getting the below error, Failed to install Base Package. Failed to access the remote registry. I am using Windows 10 OS there is no AD this system on the workgroup network and the machine was on the Azure portal.username is: workgroup\commvault For more information please find the screenshotAlso how I can download agent software from commcell and install it manually on window and Linux machine

Good day allI guess this question is two-fold and I’ve not really been able to find a way this can be done using a Plan.We’re running SQL Plans that backup the DB’s in the traditional Full/Diff/TLOG format.We have 1 SQL instance that mustn’t have it’s TLOGS backed up. My assumption is that it would need to go into it’s own Plan with TLOG slider switched off?The second portion to this same instance is that the backups of the various DB’s don’t happen at the same time due to their size?Is it possible to configure an instance that a DB will not start backing up until the prior one is complete and they keep cascading in this manner.I understand you could create multiple sub-clients within each instance and assign different schedules. However, this would potentially mean that if a DB finishes sooner than the next one is scheduled to start, there’s an unused portion of the backup window. Conversely if one schedule overruns into the ne

Good Morning at all, someone know something about Grafana and if it is possible to connect this add-in to the Commvault infrastructure? Thanks

As our company is growing and we want to connect customers from other countries, how can we connect customers who use Azure AD instead of Microsoft AD ? Is there any documentation for this ?

Hello Team, Can we able to create a multiple storage pools for the single Three nodes HSX X cluster? 

Hello, we have many VSA backup jobs running and are now planning to change the names of the VMs on VCenter side. Currently these are only with the name in Vcenter and that should be changed to the FQDN of the VMs. Now my question would be if the change to the FQDN could affect the VSA backups or if we have to consider something.Kind RegardsThomas

Hello,I can't find the documentation, please, what are the steps required to install a backup of the sql database on the windows client?Thank you!Best regards,Elizabeta Krešo 

We were able to configure the sql backups on certain machines, by stopping the services, putting the gmsa account on the CVD service (following this : https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/138465_using_group_managed_service_accounts_for_sql_server_agent.html )for some machine, we restart the services and we get the windows error.I saw clearly in the event viewer the error, but since it’s a gmsa account I don’t know the password, so I can’t correct it manually.I had to go back to regular account to have the backups running , again…Anyone had a similar issue?thxGilles from the Montreal area

Hi, guys,I have a question, not long ago we had problems with a backup that could not be run during the day, it was run manually and crashed the environment, is there any way to lock the backup so it doesn't run manually at specific times

I received a request to backup and restore Kubernetes applications using the Application iData Agent. In my case a MongoDB and only individual collections should be able to be restored, for example. The BOL allows backups of Kubernetes apps to be application-consistent only. Why isn't there a way to backup App Aware on Kubernetes? Is there perhaps a feature planned for future versions?

Commvault upgrade includes upgrade of Commserve Console, Media agents and Servers (VM and Physical). We have about 14 different sites and over 500 servers so I cannot complete upgrade of Commcell console in a day. Probably it will take about a month to complete upgrade across site. So my question is will the backup have any issues when the commcell console (11.24) is in an upgrade version and the media agent and servers are in lower version (11.16)

Hi,Is there way to chain multiples scheduled jobs so that they are dependent one on another ?For example, one job would wait his dependent job to finish before starting. 

Hello All,I understood we need odd number of servers to setup the index server cloud. However when we have 5 node in cloud, 3 for HAC and 2 for index store. In this case 2 index store node will have a disk capacity based on the sizing.Lets consider i am setting up exchange on prem backups with content indexing, i have 5 node index cloud and two access nodes. I will also have share for job results directory.Now the question is around the index server cloud setup, when i create the index server its requesting to update the index directory location but i have two nodes acting as index store in this case which node disk should be used for the index directory when i configure the index server cloud.If i use any 1 of the node disk then if that node fails or down due to some reason i will not be able to search \ browse the index from that node in this scenario this will be single point of failure even if we call it as Index server cloud with HAC rite.I wo

I love activate- This app has made our legal audits almost hands off and I love it. I do have an issue- I dont know how to export more than 500 rows of a report generated from Activate.Currently I am in the File Storage optimizaion field and clicking on a access time 0-1 years. I click the review button and 2.8 million itms pop up. Id like to export that as a csv..which is simple-- click the cog and hit export. However, it only exports the max of 500 rows.Yea - i know - do 500 at a time-. No thanks.  Ideas? 

Dear all,is there any way to sync the internal schedule with an external application such as Outlook or similar?I understand this would be a one-way synchronization but it still would be useful to integrate Commvault schedule into an external calendar. Alternatively, also an export could be a usable solution. Thank you!Gaetano

We want to upgrade our old commvault server which also has commvault SQL DB. I believe license for both Commvault Commcell and SQL is provided as bundle by Commvault.So when we do upgrade of Commvault Commcell and all other components of Commvault can we use our own license for SQL? This way instead of having Commvault (Commserve) and SQL running on same server, we have got separate SQL DB licensed by us? This approach is different to in-place upgrade where you upgrade your DB and Commvault which is running on same server. Commserve version is 11.24.7 running on Server 2012 and SQL is 2012 Enterprise

We’re migrating VMs from different vcenters and stand alone vmware esxi hosts to a vcenter which is  already configured in Metallic.  How do we get our vcenter in Metallic updated with the current VM inventory?  I’m looking for a “rediscover VMs on hypervisor”, “reinventory Hypervisor” or to be able to tell a VM already in inventory that it’s on a new vcenter or hypervisor.  Currently a migrated VM is stuck on the original hypervisor or vcenter and we can’t back it up.

Hello team just looking to see how to find out if we have required licenses to configure Vmware Live synclicense summary report shows  -  category : DR VM permanent total : 80 used : 0does this sound right license for vmware live sync ? 

Hello Commvault Community,  Some time ago I ran a case in Commvault support for SP20, for a problem with granular data recovery for BLB. Incident 210702-97 The issue has been resolved with hotfix: SP20_PreRelease-4648-BINAfter upgrading the environment to SP24, the problem was noticed again when trying to granular restore for BLB. Here I have a request for you to check if this fix is included in SP24 or is there a need to raise a ticket in Commvault support asking for rewriting this fix for SP24? ThanksKamil
