Self-Hosted Q&A

Is there a way we can perform silent install (without any human intervention) for the Maintenance release) as we already have our main package already installed and we need it for few of the Linux servers due to bug in password encryption in cassandra. 

Hey all,before raising a ticket to support I want to know if I miss something.I’ve created a new backup plan (call it ‘B’) and assigned it to users group based on AD group.the AD group contains about 500 users, some new and some already exist in CV.For the new users plan ‘B’ is assigned successfully during activation.The issue is with existing user that already assigned to plan ‘A’.I have a workflow to run on all users in a group and assign the respective plan to their laptops, but the issue is that the users are not present in the users group although that they do exist in the AD group. What do I miss? ThanksYirmi

Since we run 11.22 , we have the following in the reports.The report selection boxes are unreadable (white on light gray)...to be honest...I’m not young, but also not that old, so I think that’s a problem with Commvault admin center :)  

Hello, I would to set continuous incremental backups every 30 minutes from last job’s end time and synth fulls during the weekend, on laptops. I’ve created a schedule policy with this settings. My problem is that many users, friday evening, shut their laptops, hanging in most of cases an incremental backup, then when synth full is triggered, it fails because their is already a job (that’s what i could trace). The problem is that i approximatively never have successfull synth fulls. So, is there a problem wanting to set a backup sequence this way? Thanks in advance for tips on it. Regards.

Hello,We have an Isilon cluster for primary storage for CIFS and NFS clients. We back it up to tape and disk libraries using 3-way ndmp. Incremental backups can be very large from time to time, so large that it seems like it might be backing up files that have not really changed. For example the current backup has transfered 1.7 million files. It seems unlikely that 1.7 million files have changed in the last 24 hours since the previous incremental (daily).So the questions I have are -How are files selected for incremental backup and is there a way to modify/control it? Is there a way to get a report on what files were backed up in a given job and what changed in the file that caused it to be backed up?Thanks,Ron

Morning,I am looking to ensure that that for extended retention the backup from the last day of the month is retained as per the extended retention rules. In the Incremental/Synthetic Full configuration created as part of the plan configuration is this possible? If so how can i configure to ensure that a synthetic full is ran on the last day of the month and then retained as per the extended retention rules?Thanks in advance.

Sorry another post about permissions. Have users with Permissions of “View” and “Report Management” at the Comcell level however not all reports (default Commvault ones) are available to see.For example the Health Report. Documentation (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.21/expert/96415_viewing_health_report_on_web_console_without_private_metrics_reporting_server.html) says need Report Management permissions but this doesn’t seem to be the case?Another example Disk Library Utilization Report (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.21/expert/38472_viewing_disk_library_utiliz

Hi,A user that was once part of the master role group to assist with configuration of the platform has been moved to a different group that has fewer permissions however it looks like any configuration done by that user on an entity they retain more rights than that of the role they currently have on the entity? (Possibly some sort of creator role meaning you have full permissions?)how is best to ensure only permissions assigned to a role that is configured on the required entities is used going forward?thanks

Hi all, Question regarding plans in 11.21 again.In case we have the following settings: What will happen with the full backup, if this setting is disabled:  For me it’s confusing as according to the “full backup” switch, there is no full backup.also, why can we only modify the synthetic full options using the java console

We are a service provider with a lot of VM backups on a lot of different customers. We let the customers on they own decide what WM's to backup and not with the tagging option. For example, if a customer tag the VM with "NoBackup", that VM will automatically be excluded from VM backup. And if they later remove the tag from the VM, it will automatically be included in backup. The problem is that even if the VM is excluded from backup it will still be included in SLA as missed backup. We got a tip that we can create a server group in command center with automatic rule that includes all VM's with "NoBackup" tag and then disable that server group and that way exclude that from SLA. The problem with that is that the whole client is disabled and excluded. Inclusive agent backups. This means that if a customer disables the VM backup and still need to backup an application via agent backup, above method isn?t applicable. We need a method where only VM backup automatically is excluded when i

Recently I tried to do a 1-touch restore from a windows client. It was to a physical server. It was a fairly new Dell PowerEdge R740. It had 16 GB of RAM.During the boot up i get this error message:There isn’t enough memory available to create a ramdisk device.Error code: 0xc0000017This only happens to the 1-touch iso’s with dell drivers. I tried it with other R740 servers and go the same result. I have ticket open with commvault but havent heard anything for a while.

Does Commvault support Sybase DB 12.5.1 agent that will run on a Windows 2003 VM ?

We are trying to perform a backup with Intellisnap of an Oracle database and once the backup is successfully completedin commvault, the RMAN catalog does not register this backup.we have configured the subclient with the data from the catalog (which is on the same server and at the same time is the proxy) and the following documentation:https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11/article?p=35457.htm But even so, the backups are not reflected in the RMAN catalog. Any idea what might be going on? Regards.

HiWe just have implemented a mailbox backup for a Exchange online in Azure.

Hello There.I have a question regarding the new Indexing CVSolr that was announced for SP22.One of the features is to be able to create an Index Cloud and add nodes as the environment grows as opposed to previous indexing that required all nodes to be added upfront and once done you couldn't add new nodes to the Index Cloud once created.I searched the documentation (SP22 / SP23 and SP24) and did not find any reference of that CVSolr new indexing but the documentation sill states that nodes cannot be added to an Index Cloud once created. Anyone ideas ? ThanksAbdellatif
