Self-Hosted Q&A

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. (Office 365)We are using a proxy (access node) to back up the data.I want to create multiple subclients for dividing the mailboxes.Subclient for users A till FSubclient for user G till Ketc..But I do not have the option to create multiple subclients for mailboxes.  I can not create multiple subclients.Do I miss something or is there another way to do this? Thanks in advance 

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

Hi! For Nutanix CIFS backups we have support for CFT (Changed Files Tracking).https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=110109.htm Now I know that Commvault used to have more extensive integration with NetApp than with any other storage system. But am I correct that this feature currentlyis not available for NetApp filers? Thanks!

Hi, We are running v11.22.13 and the alerts have changed behaviour from v11.20.x. We used to get an email formatted as html with the general job status and an attachment as text with the failed vm name and failure reason. This is no longer the case.Now we get an attachment in html form which is just a repeat (copy) of the main email. So not helpful. Also I would prefer the attachment be in plaintext not html.I’ve played around with a variety of alert settings such as sending as text instead of html / with or without “detail as attachment”. I have included the various “VM xxxx” tokens. Nothing has produced the list of failed vm’s. Is this working for anyone running the same version as I am?Cheers,Ron

Hello all.Sorry up front for the wall of text but I have spent a few days undertaking a post-mortem into why a very important customer CommCell broke when a very minor update to 11.22.18 took place that left their CommCell crippled for about 4-5 hours.  This is just an advisory that with the latest (April 2020) Maintenance Pack of 11.22 does not perform CommServe LiveSync Production Maintenance failovers correctly.  The issue is in Hotfix #2340 in FR 11.22.17.  For those who were briefly able to get 11.22.18, the issue was not addressed in this release.I have confirmed that 11.22.0, .3, .9. & .13 are unaffected.  I had a very lengthy case with support (#210425-83) one week ago after I was seriously challenged when trying to salvage the CommCell as both Production and Passive Instance001 instances were put into a disabled state and documented forced failback features do n

Hi All, Recently we have deployed commvault hyperscale appliance 1.5 (1300) in infra. Commserve is outside HS appliance and hosted on VM.

Hi Team,I am looking for a Query/Script that can be used to fetch the information about all the service accounts that are used in Commcell Environment.Eg: to store DR backups in a Network share/ account used to add the mountpath(provisioned from NAS/SAN) in a media agent etc.These service accounts are not coming from AD and hence are not listed in the Users or Users and User groups. Hence, they cannot be found in the Users and Users groups permissions report from webconsole.Also, these service accounts cannot be obtained from “UMUser” table in CSDB.Is there a way we can obtain this information from CSDB?I have a support ticket 210524-114 opened for this request.Regards,Shashwat
