Hi, We have a customer who wants an official statement that SQL2012 Enterprise is licensed as it came along with Commvault in the past.I can find the statement for the Standard edition How does Commvault handle the SQL Standard License during the CommServe Installation? but in the past SQL2012 was also covered.Is there still a way to have this statement. We will inform the customer that SQL2012 is support for an half year so in the next 6 months it might be smart to update. Best regards,Danny

Hello,We have few laptop client which we wish to backup using Commvault endpoint protection. There is firewall between CV infra servers and laptop network and ports 8400 & 8403 are opened on the firewall. One way network topology has been configured with data forced to tunnel option but it is still using dynamic ports to send the traffic to CommCell components. There is no network gateway between them as it is a tiny setup.   Regards,Jaspreet

We have the following scenario:Cloud library → shared between MA1(windows vm on prem) ; MA2(azure VM windows) VMware VM (backed up using VSA) backed up by MA1Browse and restore from MA1 worksservices stopped on MA1Browse and restore from MA2 fails → “Browse failed due to error while mounting virtual machine.”We see that the cvvd driver is not loaded on MA2 wheras it is on MA1.

Hello community,I am testing a CLI (qoperation) restore script to restore a random file from clientA to clientB, but it is not working.  The script is getting the following error on the qoperation cmd for the restore XML file:Out of place restore. User [{clientB}_localadmin__] must have [Out-of-Place Recover] capability for the source and [In Place Recover] capability at the destination.Anyone have any idea why I’d get this message?The script is being executed on clientB, but I also get same error running it directly on clientA, the host where the source file lives. To create the restore script, I used the java console to select clientA/subclient and a specific backup date, then selected a sample file to restore and filled in the restore dialog as a re-directed restore to clientB - then saved the restore script (save-as-script).  I can certainly restore the file if I were to just let the restore run directly from the restore dialog, but for some re

Hello!Our auditors use reports from Commvault to verify incidents in our incident system. Mainly they have been using PDF reports.As of late we discovered some discrapancies in the reports. First it seems the number of pages created for a pdf differs even though the time frame is the same. We also discovered some naming and columns was changed in the reports. I think that both can be explained by that one: the PDF creator program might render the pages diffrently, Second: the naming and column change problaby was due to service pack upgrade.I also discoverd that the number of protected object wasnt consistent in one of the reports, I had run it 3 times for verification. All other counters seems to be accurate. How can this be? The reports should be the same if all selection criteria are the same?Anyone else experienced this? Headings of the reports below.BR Henke

We are migrating VMware VMs to a new NetApp storage array via Storage vMotion. In our current environment we use VMFS datastores. It is our intention to create vVol datastores on the new NetApp storage and migrate from VMFS to vVols. Is there anything we need to know or be aware of as it relates to our Commvault backups? Is there anything we need to change in our Commvault environment or change in our approach to performing Commvault backups? Thank you!

Hello, Everyone.I have a client trying to airgap their data. They have some data currently backing up to tape at an off-site location.I know having a backup offline on tape is a type of airgapping but they are looking to sever communication between the production media agents and DR media agents whenever replication is not ongoing.I know commvault has some scripts and workflows to create these, but i am looking at doing a one-way firewall configuration between the production media agents and dr media agents, using the DR media agents as the source and prod media agents as destination, so that connection can be established from only the remote site. Does that make sense? i would appreciate any advice i could get.

Hello,We want to backup a big Metro Cluster with many volumes and NFS and CIFS shares using the snapdiff feature. We started with default subclient and configured some exclusions of shares where we do not want to create a snapshot. Each share is on a separate volume but we saw that snapshots are created on all volumes even on the volumes with excluded shares.How can we control the behaviour of creating snapshots on backuped shares (volumes) only?Thanks at all.
