Hello All, I’m just starting to play with Office 365 configurations in my lab. As I’m going through the documentation and watching some YouTube videos, I’ve come across a question I haven’t seen mentioned. Can I have the Index ​​Server and the Exchange Proxy server on the same Windows Server. I’m with an MSP and we haven’t started using Office365 for our tenants yet. It seems going through the documentation that we need a separate Exchange Proxy for each tenant but I’m unsure of the Indexing Server. Do I need an Index Server for each tenant and can that be on the Exchange Proxy server? Looking to cut back on the number of Windows VMs to manage basically. If they can’t be on the same server, can I use the same index server for multiple tenants then have separate Exchange proxies. Any other tips would be welcomed. Thanks.​​​​​

Hi All,Is the Offline Mining Tool compatible with Exchange 2019?Unfortunately I cannot use the live browse as the backup is performed on a VTL library. With Exchange 2013 it works fine. Now when I try to open the restored DB (Exchange 2019) I see the following errors:   

Something that is annoying me for some time now is that we often see running jobs with a job update time that is lacking behind for 15 min. and more. This has an effect on the information like average speed and also gives a "incorrect” indication to the end-user performing a backup/recovery. Especially during a restore this is seen so a user has no idea how long the recovery will take.I did some investigation already but without results. Anyone an idea if there is something to tweak?   

I was installing a 3 node HS1300 (HS1.5) as a Secondary CS and it failed after 50-70% of run. It has created the secondary CS and I am able to login there. But soon after the setup failed running some scripts and there it ended.Though support case is logged. I was wondering if I can do some cleanup and retry the setup?

Hello together, has anybody used NetApp SnapDiff Feature with FP23 for a CIFS oder NFS File Share Backup?We got this Error Message:unable to add the Array [SVM] in the array managementLast Change was opening Port 443 like written in the documentation. The Netapp Array is configured in the Array Management. We understand that during the backup it trys to add the SVM to the Arrays. But we dont know which communication is really happening there. Maybe someone puzzles with it too. :)Christoph 

We want to replace intellisnap with (Ocum configured) to Netapp Open Replication. (no Ocum configured.) Can we reuse the SVM accociations? If so, how do you have to do that?If we want to use the new storage policies without Ocum, we do not want to resync al the volumes. Is this possible?Thanks in advance!  

Is it possible to change the Font size of icons and client names in the CommCell Browser ? 

Hi allWe have a customer that has an Isilon for disk storage.Backup speeds are ok, but DASH to DR or Copy to Tape speeds are terrible. “Last night’s” backups copy to DR at no more than 500GB/hr, if we’re lucky and copy to tape speeds do not exceed 200GB/hr.Index and DDB are on NVME and tested fine.Fallen Behind Copies are literally years behind.Both Commvault and Isilon have checked it out and cannot do anything about it.We did spec Hyperscale before implementation but we were overruled and now I sit with this issue. Very frustrating. Has anyone experienced dog-slow Isilon restores, DASH copies or Tape copies?How were you able to overcome this? It’s gotten so bad that we are going to ask Commvault to either try help us fix it or reconsider certifying it as a DL destination.

Hello CC I have an issue in our CommCell where when I look at the restore job history for a database client and if i right click on the restore job and choose “View restore Items\All or Successful, Failed, Conflict or skipped.  it brings up the window “Restored Files” as if its going to show the Items then it says No results found” OK.  This is a recent thing and its a pain as it means if certain databases failed or skipped or all passed  then we cant go and see which ones were passes or fails.  the whole window is blank. Any help, guidance or if anyone else is getting this would be most helpful. ThanksTonyQ

when I look at the aux copy job status it reflects total data to process as 14.49 TB however when I right click on the storage policy and select Media Not copied the total amount of data is less then 300GB...does that mean the deduplicated data to aux copy is only 300 GB?Also, as the Aux copy utilizes a DDB at the secondary location the data copied would be less than 300GB?

Hello,My Technical Security Team want to run a vulnerability scan of the MongoDB on several of my Commvault servers. They need some form of credentialed access into these databases? Is this possible or are the MongoDBs purely for internal Commvault use?RegardsFergus
