Self-Hosted Q&A

 A customer is protecting Oracle running in a failover cluster between Solaris Local Zones. Customer is currently using TSM and want to switch to Commvault. In TSM the Oracle databases are protected with the Oracle Agent running in the Solaris Global Zone only, there is no agent in the Clustered Local Zones. This means that no matter in which Local Zone the Ora DB is running the backup and restores will work without setting this up as cluster client. The question is if this is possible in a Commvault setup or if we are required to install the agent in each Local Zone and then configure the cluster client in a traditional way.  Appreciate if anyone has experience of a similar setup has any input if this is at all possible and if so any  pros & cons.Regards,

Hi.What are the units in the Commvault Reports ?e.g. the “Size of Application”bytes or bits or what ?Thanks in advance.

I have a quick question. There is a customer I am currently proposing, and they say that they are using mysql 8.0, use pluggable authentication as their authentication method, and use SHA256 encryption. (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/sha256-pluggable-authentication.html) Does Commvault support the above environment?I looked for BOL, but it wasn't mentioned.

Can I have a 11.20 LTS iso or zip like it was for 11.16 LTS? Just one download and for Windows only? Thank you.

Hi Guys, I need your help. Here’s the scenario. The Customer needs to mount a disk to a client before Scan phase, then backup needs to be performed and after job’s completed disk needs to be unmounted. They decide to set Pre Scan and Post Backup Scripts with the following configuration: With Full backups everything works fine. However, if Inremental backup runs and there was no changes since last backup, Backup phase will not run. As a result PostBackup process will not run and disk is still kept as mounted to the client. I suggested to client to change settings as follows:So, we’ve got 2 sets of script:Pre

Hello Commvault Community,  Maybe you have an idea why there is a problem connecting to the Edge Drive via a laptop from a network other than the internal one. Unable to connect an off-site laptop to Edge Drive. Laptop is not added to Active Directory, it works in a workgroup. Authorizing access through the Edge Drive configuration to a domain account. An error with authorization to the given user account appears in the logs (the account and password are entered correctly, the ability to log in to the webconsole). Access infrastructure via DMZ and installed server with firewall issued port 8403. Network topology - network gateway (laptop) configuration between defined Laptop Clients groups and Commvault infrastructure servers. If the laptop mentioned above is on the internal LAN then everything works fine. There seems to be a problem handing over communication from the Webconsole server in the DMZ to the

Hi!I am looking for any advice, tips, pitfalls to avoid, things we should consider and such, with regards to plans for getting from the current commvault installation, to a planned new commvault installation. Current Installation:5+ year old (but updated) installation, with 1 virtual commcell, and 4 physical media-agents, 2 in each datacenter. Physical HW for both the media-agents and the storage are reaching their EOL in 2022 and needs replacing.The Commvault environment is currently in the production domain. New Installation (planned):New installation, with 1 virtual commcell (or possibly clustered?) and 4 virtual media-agents, 2 in each datacenter. The Commvault environment and the underlying virtualization servers for the Commvault CS/MA VMs should be in a completely separate domain from the production domain they are taking backups of.New storage will be 25Gbps iSCSI (or NVMeoF or

When viewing a list of Client Computers, one available column value is Update Status which will show Needs Update when necessary. And when viewing the client computer properties, the Version tab shows some more info.Previously when I was running 11.13 in Version tab, there was a section that shows Update status and shows a table of various packages and hotfixe updates that need update. But since upgrading to 11.21, that section appears to have been removed. I’ve attached a screenshot showing that section in the older and newer builds of the Version tab.Just wondering, in 11.21 and newer builds, is there an area where we can see the Update status table showing the packages and required hotfixes?

What type of account and privileges required to deploy the commserve in Azure public cloud?

Hi.. Setup:- Two Client groups.- One client group contains clients- One client group contains Media AgentsA Backup Network using CIDR is configured according to: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=107131.htm The Media Agents have multiple IP addresses in different networks ofc... They have an IP address for the frontend (to which the CS connects to) and one for the Backup Network. Both of these IP addresses are statically assigned.. Clients ofc have multiple IP addresses too... One for the frontend (to which the CS connects to) and one for the Backup Network. The frontend IP is static, but the one for the backup network is a DHCP one. Dumping such a client into the client group sets up the DIPs as expected according to the Network Summary seen on the MAs.

My company has adopted a new standard for service account passwords:  Min 20 characters, must contain uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.  My current password for the root account on the three nodes of the HyperScale on HP reference hardware does not meet the new standard so I have to change it.Does anyone know how to change to root password on these three servers?  Is it just done via the Linux command prompt or is it done through the CommVault GUI somehow?Thanks in advance for any information.Ken 

Hello Guys,I need a help if is necessary create a Proxy to communicate to CommServ or not? 

Hello, I have a question about calculation and usage TB license. We purchase 71 TB and 2000 Vm license. But now we are above our TB limit license. I understanded that all physical should use TB license and VM's should count under Protected Virtual Machines. In our case we using Windows File agent to back-up some of VM's but they counted under TB license. Under the client properties i do see Virtual Machine Properties TAB, that mean that client discovered by VM, but still using TB license. here are some exapler:   

Hello Guys,i need to remove client in the commcell., but get an error, have an another choice to do this?i use “Retire Client”Force this. How can i make this?** This is a Lab and the server is removed of the Vmware.  

I have servers with 10’s of Millions of general user files (.DOC, .XLS) files that are ‘manageable’ using the Standard File Agent method of backup I’ve often considered the Block Level method, but its the idea of ‘another Filter’ Driver in the Windows stack that concerns me:Not due to the quality of the code coming out of CommVault (which is very high) But due to the nature of Anti-Virus drivers, and their updates that often disrupt other filter drivers - with the small potential for a blue screen I’d be interested in any thoughts, comments, experience(The Windows Servers hosting the File Servers are 2016 and 2019 NTFS) Many Thanks
