Hi, I am wondering which port is needed to use the command line from a different machine than the CommServe. Is it for example the same port as for the CommCell Console, port 8401?Thanks!

Hello,We have determined with the help of CV support and Azure support that the fastest possible restore of an entire VM within the Azure environment (even within the same region) is 60Mb/s. The limitation, according to Azure, is that CV writes the VM as a single page blob and the max throughput for that is 60Mb/s.At this speed, restoring an entire VM of any significant size would take far too long to be acceptable in an emergency situation.Has anyone run up against this limitation and how have you worked around it? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how we might do so?Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Few quick questions regarding some pre-defined CV console alerts. I am unable to find this information online Unusual job activity alert. What does code 14:300 mean? This is default as the alert is enabled Do we need to expanded this alert to include more codes? Increase in data size Does this include alerting on VSA and NDMP as well? If no to above, would we have to install an iData agent on each VM to allow alerting? Thank you for your time

Hi, I have a question about job DDB Space Reclamation. So on job i have :The Error means that we must switch microprunig:> https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/9183_configuring_micro_pruning.htmlError Code: [80:273]Description: Pruner media agent not found to run Defrag phase on DDB, Please configure pruner media agent using mount path propertiesbut we dont want switch microprunig due to potentially higher costs. Can we get around this problem?I will be very appreciate for help. 

Thank you all in advance for the input.  (first time poster)I have an issue I can’t figure out and I’m tired of beating my head against the wall.  We are moving away from using tapes as our secondary copy (archive copy).  We have recently setup Azure cloud storage policy copies for our archive.  I have attempted to mirror the policy copy settings between the tape and cloud copies as much as possible.  We have 3 copies - weekly, monthly, and yearly, each with a different retention, and 3 different storage policies.  We started with the weekly copy and all seemed to be well.  When I created the monthly and yearly copies, the job selections didn’t meet my expectations.  A few examples:  duplicate jobs would show up in the weekly and monthly, or monthly and yearly.  Meaning a job that I would expect to a monthly (first weekend of the month) was in the weekly job list. The yearly jobs don’t seem correct at all.  We want the first weekend in

Hi guys;i need some help about this, I perform a feature release update today, but after that my main production cluster server stop working telling me that one of the server in the cluster is in another version of the software, which its true.But my questions is If I perform a DR restore to the moment before the update start will my commserve perform a downgrade to the version it was before the update.

Hi, Somebody knows how this can be translated in the Cloud Azure ?https://documentation.commvault.com/11.26/expert/120376_compliance_search_and_ediscovery_hardware_specifications.html

I have a question about “quick look”.Two different users perform the same operation and click the "Quick Look" button in Outlook without the add-in and the effect is that one user generates such a link and it works (the message from the archive is fine).and another user generates such a link (which does not work)I don't quite understand why these two users have different link syntax. What can it depend on?SP 24.25

I've joined the community to seek your advice on a subject that I'm struggling to grasp.Please accept my apologies for the lengthy explanation.We are currently protecting our virtualized data with Snap backups in Commvault configured to retain 30 days of backups (7 incremental daily backups and 4 weekly full backups) and monthly and yearly backups sent off to Azure cloud for 7-year retention.We are achieving quick restores with the Snap backup, and we are now planning to introduce a SAN storage system on-premises to manage backup copies of snapshot data.As part of this, I provided detailed VM data sizing to estimate the storage capacity to purchase.I provided the total number of VMs to be backed up by adding the application size of the existing data sets, and the NetApp sales team used their sizing tool to estimate the capacity required for the next three years based on the total number of VMs, frequency of backups, retention period for b

Hi,We have a NAS Share Backup (NetApp) configured to use IntelliSnap to create the initial snapshot and afterwards, run a backup copy to copy the data to disk.We were assuming that Commvault would backup the data from the .snapshot folder on the original volume. As the customer is using a virus scanner (vscan) on their NetApp shares, we created shares on the original volumes specifically for Commvault/backup where we would disable vscan.However, we found out Commvault isn’t backing up from the snapshot folder under the original volume, but instead is creating a volume clone from the snapshot. On this clone, Commvault also creates a share. And you guessed it, vscan is by default enabled.This causes all kind of problems. Slow throughput because all files need to be scanned, occassional hickups from the virus scanner where it’s quarantining files, …Is there a way for Commvault to use the snapshot folder under the original folder, instead of creating a

Hi, we got a question from a customer, if it is possible to use the Oracle Managed Files (OMF) for a restore of a Portable Database (PDB).The customer would like to let the OMF handle the file location, just point to the OMF and start the restore. Is there some switches or additional setting the customer can use?If they input the file location by hand, OMF wont recognise the instance.

hello guys,my customer have an o365 Exchange online hybrid environment. they would to know if commvault is able to protect (archive) the mailboxes related to AD disabled user. I found this page in the documentationhttps://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/113053_disabling_user_mailboxes_for_exchange_mailbox_agent_hybrid.htmlTo reduce license usage, you can disable user mailboxes that belong to an AD group or you can disable individual mailboxes.The following characteristics apply to disabled AD groups and mailboxes: Disabled mailboxes do not consume a license. You cannot run any archiving or cleanup jobs. You can run browse and restore operations. it’s ambiguous,  is it referring to the o3
