Self-Hosted Q&A

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 reason the save-as script is not able to

If i want to restore  an email of exchange online, i cannot see any emails. If i use the java console there is no problem, I can resore a single email from a user. Anyone seen this before? User rights? 

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.

Team,We had an issue with application today when started file-system backup for directory mounted on host. The underlying storage for that directory is an NFS export .We started fil-system backup of specific directory from commvault through an on-demand sub client and observed that log files are started converting to .gz format .Is this something expected behavior when CV backups up lot of small log/bin files with underlying storage as NFS ?  Should i not take file-system backup for NFS through unix idataagent ? I understand that by-default it is excluded from default subclient.Let me know if i did something wrong here ?  See these messages in log , what does this mean ?86695 152a7 11/29 11:12:33 5082624 SdtBase::cfgComp() - gzip comp level set to [-1]5456  2d48  11/29 03:12:48 ####### [DSBACKUP   ] DsBackup received a Init Signature Message (SIDBStoreId - 22) (compressed - 1 ) (Source Side Deduplication - 0)5456  2d48  11/29 03:12:48 ####### [DSBACKUP   ] signature initialization succ

Hi all, after applying new license for Azure, there are failing backups with the error - Enterprise backup capacity license is required to run jobs. (For Oracle and VM clients). Before uploading the license there were no such errors.To run the backup it is needed to manually release-reconfigure the client after each backup.Is it possible that new license could somehow overwrite the previous/default one?Is it good idea to reapply the old licence and than investigate why new license is making problems? Cheers!

My Oracle backups are failing, I need to determine why.

Hello Guys,  At the beginning, I would like to say that I wanted to escalate this case to the Commvault suppot, but I do not know if it will not be closed due to the specific behavior of the Commvault system and possible problems with the Oracle database itself. Jobs performed from CommCell Console finish without errors, but errors appear at the Oracle database level. Oracle 11.2.0.4 database on a linux server (Oracle Linux Enterprise 7.9) in the Oracle Grid 18.3 Standalone environment. There were two problems: Restore an Oracle backup to disk (image_001.png)The restore job is running correctly and Commvault saves files to the location specified during the job configuration. The next step is the duplication of the database (contained in the copy on disk) to the target database using the RMAN script, ended with an error (status failed).  oracle@xyz$rman auxiliary /Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production on Fri Oct 29 14:02:38 2021Copyright© 1982, 2011, Oracle and/or its affili

Good Day,As part of a support ticket I’m working on, we have to upgrade our environment from SP20 to SP24.  I had some issues going directly to SP24, but was able to get there by going to SP22, then SP23, and now we’re at 11.24.7.The issue is that I’ve noticed these Uninstall Software jobs are being automatically created and removing software from our Edge laptop clients.  I’ve looked at the logs for the job but I don’t see a reason for this or what criteria it’s using to select clients.Has anyone else seen this or can help troubleshoot?  I’ve updated the support ticket I have open but the engineer isn’t in the office today and won’t be back until Monday.Thanks for any support.@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Machine : commserveFile    : JobManager.log@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@11060 35cc  11/26 09:52:59 1595162 Servant    [---- SYSTEM INITIATED AUTOMATIC UNINSTALL CLIENT REQUEST ----]

hi, Someone knows in which logfile the start of atuomatic schedules is being logged? I mean: we have machines with automatic schedules active (every X minutes, but also based on size),  but the automatic schedule isn’t working anymore [was working before]. I wonder in what logfile that should be logged?

Hi, In Command Center I have created an Office 365 app for SharePoint backup. I left basically everything default and configured 10 Azure Apps and 10 Service Accounts for backup.The backup, although very slowly, runs. Schedule is default (daily 9PM), I created 1 Office Plan and 1 Server Plan However, I notice the backup uses only 1 stream. What can I do to make the SharePoint backup automatically use more streams, or how can I divide the SharePoint sites (5000+) in something that would be similar to the SubClients in the CommCell Console? Again, I have not used the CommCell Console, only Command Center,Thanks!
