Missing DDB subclient

Hi, I have a full Linux Commcell and I’m deploying Commvault 11.36 using exclusively the Command Center. I just realized that out of my 2 MA grids (2-nodes grids), 2 MA of 1 grid are missing the filesystem agent and the ddb subclient and the 2 other ones have a ddb subclient but its not associated with a Plan. I had no other option than using the commcell console to associate manually the plan for the first 2 ones and create a filesystem Agent, then create a DDB subclient and associate it with a plan. If I remove the licence both default and DDBBackup subclients are grey out. When automatically created by commvault DDBBackup subclient is activated (blue) and the default is greyed. I am not satisfied with this behaviour, is there a way to have all my media agent alligned? Thx in advance

Subclients without full/synthetic full backups health dashboard reporting incorrectly

I have noticed 2 commcells that are marking Azure V2 Client as critical due to the VM Admin jobs running as Incrementals. Confirming that all associated VMs are actually completing Full/ Synth Full backups. Behavior is seen across 2 FR32 commcells. Is there another way to correct this behavior besides excluding from SLA or this needs to be raised as a support case for the report to be reviewed? Also confirming at Azure Client level and Subclient level is already excluded from SLA.

Will be mounting live volume [] to worker pod [] since it does not support volume snapshots

I’m starting a new thread for a repeat topic as I don’t see an actual solution in the previous one. OpenShift bare metal - all native storage - no way to configure snaps (or is there)? I have read and re-read BoL but am missing something if Waldo exists. Will be mounting live volume [] to worker pod [] since it does not support volume snapshots. How to ignore this error? Meaning - we know this is probably an issue for Commvault unless someone has cracked it, so, rather than have to think about them each day, is the answer to “Hide this event”? I can say we don’t have any PVC’s yet but I see the risk in muting them entirely if indeed that means PVCs aren’t protected properly. This is on 11.36.41 BTW. thanks

Separate web server from Commserver build

Has anyone installed a Commvault web server/command center/metrics reporting server outside the Commserver. Mine doesn't seem to connectand Im getting a failed authentication token when I access the Commvault dashboard using the extra web server I build. I believe I followed the one in Books online but no luck. Also to help in my troubleshooting is there any flow diagram on how the connectivity of the web server to the Commserver ( TC ports/ services/logs). THis way I can troubleshoot logically. So the setup is we have a Commserver which is also a web server/command centre and private metrics reporting server. I am building a separate web server/ command centre/metrics reporting server but it doesn't work. Any advice is appreciated.

Last full backup not picked up for copy for selective copy

Dear Vaulters, I have an issue, I have a storage policy with a selective copy for last full backup of the month on the tape library, when i review its jobs i find 30th of march full backup jobs instead of 31st of march full backup jobs. I made sure that AUX copy job ran 1 hour after 31st of march full backup jobs. I also noticed that this issue is not happening with all clients, it happens with random clients every month. Need your support to know the cause the aux copy to pick 30th of march full backup jobs instead of 31st of march full backup jobs? and how to solve it? BR

Content Indexing Retention Rules

Hi All. I am busy testing content indexing of file system data. I managed to deploy and configure all the components. After the Content Indexing job runs I am able to search for file metadata from the Command Center. My question is - where do I configure the retention of the indexed data to managed disk space on the Index directory? I see information in the below: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/setting_retention_days_for_content_indexed_data.html I do not have any Content Indexing tab within any Storage Policy. The CommCell is currently on v11.36.49. Thanks and regards, Ignes

How to create a Protection Plans report?

I want to generate a report on the Protection Plans I have in place. If I look at plans in Command Center and ask to Export a PDF or XLSX/CSV, I don’t get the level of detail I’m looking for (retention, # copies and backup frequency). Anyone have any suggestions on how to get that data? Thanks.

Javascript time calculations in custom reports aka more problems using rest api as a dataset

So, I am creating a report to capture events across time. The problem is that the daterange input control returns time as a UTC string, but the api wants epoch time. The input looks like this, and it passes the correct data but I tried just sticking Date.parse in there, but it didn’t work. Is there a way to massage the output of the controls before using them as inputs? With sql as a data source you can handle it all the query. Can someone tell me what I am missing? Thanks. Chris.

Parameters for custom reports when using rest as a data source.

The documentation covers using inputs pretty thoroughly when using SQL as a datasource. It is not so clear for using inputs, as parameters when rest is the data source. For example the documentation here makes no mention of rest parameters but instead has a blurb about the parameters traditionally used for SQL https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/creating_http_data_sets.html For example, Lets pretend I am building an events report using the data picker and the events REST API as a dataset Someone explain to me ... When using this as the report input? Thanks in advance.

Evaluation license expansion

Helo, I’m planning to upgrade my productive environment, but before that, I wanted to test the upgrade. Therefore, I have installed a test invironment with Evaluation license, what is valid for 60 days. I had too many tasks at the time and couldn't test everything. That's why I'm asking, is it possible to expand the Evaluation license with additional days or I have to reinstall my test environment after expiration? Thanks in advance.
