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  

Have a nice day, please advise how to create one-time backups of all clients and put these backups on specific tapes and leave them there without data aging. I want to create some kind of archive.

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 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

Newbie Alert! Hello Everyone I am new to Commvault I took over an environment which has more than 200 storage policies. These policies were created as a result of plans created using command center. We have more than 2000 VMs and 200+ filesystem clients and Databases. I was wondering how should I approach the cleanup. Is it a good idea to use plans for larger environments, because as a result of single plan there are multiple configurations created automatically.  Thank You

Hello,  In Commvault 11.20 Commcell I have a number of hosts that have user files and folders located on OneDrive attached as a contents of drive C:. As a result of backup job I face the following messages  [C:\Users\user1\dir1\subdir1\file1.pptx] [0x18B 395] Access to the cloud file is denied.[C:\Users\user1\dir1\subdir2\file2.pptx] [0x18B 395] Access to the cloud file is denied.etc.  Is there an elegant way to filter these OneDrive content out?  

We started using Active later last year, ( Amazing for those who have not deployed this yet) and while the file system projects are useful and abundant, I am wanting to add our exchange servers. Does anyone know if you can use just the DB of the exchange server ? or does each mailbox have to be collected within commvault for the crawl/scan to work?
