'New Client' button in Java console

SQL DBAs want to be able to create Availability Group clients for themselves, and I’m all for it.However, they don’t have the New Client button in the ribbon that I have (I have the ‘master’ role). I have been looking for what permissions to assign to a role for them but haven’t worked it out yet.I have read Books Online (which caters for Command Center we don’t use) and have found nothing there to help.DBAs can backup and restore SQL clients no problem, now I need them to create AGs. Can anyone help with what role needs to be defined for this? Thanks

ORACLE RAC Backup Inquiry

Hi, We had our Oracle RAC being backup by the Commvault. The backup is running ever since with any config changes or past issue but suddenly our DB team complaining of latency issue due to Commvault is doing backup of data in node which is the active which consume a lot of memory and cpu resources of the DB servers. The DB is questioning why the backup is performed in the node 1(active) as they assume it runs in node 2 before that is why no latency issue encountered in their end. The challenge question to Commvault is is there a way the backup process is deviating from doing backup from one node to do it in another node automatically? What is the behavior of Commvault Oracle RAC backup, where the data is read to which node and is there a way to change it by default to read in another node of the cluster?

Duplicate Client Computers for VM and File System

Hi Team,Actually the clients are Virtual Machine’s and  the backup was taken at file system level. Now, after taking snapshot backup of the clients, it is showing as a duplicate entry on client computers. The problem is exclusive to these clients because other clients have also taken VM and FS backups in our commcell. Please help to guide on the same.

Scheduled report create Dated Folder

I have created some new reports and I found out that you can add cvdate to the end of the file name and it adds the date time, wish it only added date but that is fine.  What I want to know, can Commvault created a current dated directory to put this in?  Right now It goes to a base folder and I have to go create the dated folders.  We need this for Audit purposes and just trying to streamline it even more so I can be out and not have to deal with doing a bunch of folders when I get back from vacation.  Maybe I have to use a 3rd party way, but hoping Commvault can do it.

MS365 backup, too many concurrent connections opened., Cannot open mailbox.

I've recently started seeing the "too many concurrent connections" message, which I don't think I’ve seen before.. It seems to have begun popping up in the last couple of weeks. Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any known changes or new restrictions from Microsoft's side?I have 5 azure apps and 10 streams on most of my Exchange backups.Edit: Could it be because we provide the Exchange backup service to so many customers, that the MS365 service is noticing many connections from us, across tenants?

Beware MR68 for FR30 was pulled back

We just noticed MR68 was pulled back and we are running this version and we think based on our monitoring stats that we are impacted. I would have expected a more pro-active solution towards customers. I'm also curious what customers can do who think they are being impacted now as MR68 was the latest maintenance release that is publicly available.

Technical Assistance Needed: Secondary Copy of SQL Server Jobs

Dear friends,I need your valuable assistance with a technical matter. I have a Plan associated with a Storage Policy, which includes a primary copy to disk. Within this policy, there are various jobs with different dates, some related to virtual machines, and others to SQL Server databases.My goal is to create a secondary copy exclusively for the SQL Server jobs and restrict it to specific recent dates. However, when attempting to run this secondary copy for the desired date range, the initiated job doesn't seem to capture any data, and it does not appear in the list of jobs to copy.I have attached images in the order of how I perform the procedure. If any of you can provide guidance or assistance on this matter, I would greatly appreciate it.😊✌🏻 I have successfully executed this process for both Oracle databases and file systems. However, I have encountered a specific issue when attempting to apply it to SQL Server. 1 2 3 4 (In this image as you can see I don't get any SQL Server FU

HSX Replace NIC

Hi, I have a three node HSX Reference Architecture stack.On one of the nodes the network card has failed. On this card one port is connected to the Production LAN and the other to the Storage. The node has two network cards configured so my node is still up. I have ordered a new network card but my question is, do I need to do anything after I replace it or will it just be added back to the Bonds ? Thanks

active directory media agent installation steps needed

Hello friends,Trying to install first time media agent on active directory server ( newly promoted additional domain controller 2019 server ) .In the credentials section, providing domainname\<domainadmin> and the password  and also tried domainname\<administrator> and password but the installation fails with the message.“Failed to install File System Core Package, the credentials entered may not have permission to use WMI on remote machine. Please check WMI configuration and user credentials.while I installed the agent easily for another windows server 2019 joined to domain by using local credentials of the server.”Where am I going wrong. tried even using .\administrator and the password but it makes reason to fail as the server once promoted to domain controller will no longer hold local admin.Any help will be appreciated.

Bandwidth Throttling for a Storage Policy Copy

Hi All, short question regardin the point Bandwidth Throttling for a Storage Policy Copy Setting Network Bandwidth Throttling for a Storage Policy Copy (commvault.com) I want to undersatnd what happend when an auxcopy job starts.  So in normal case without throttelling we reach 500MB/s during auxcopy between 2 DCs over wan. When the auxcopy job starts we see in the firewall the traffic grows up until the wan connection is done.  So when i now throttel the auxcopy to 200MB/s per second we the a lot of peaks in the firewall when the auxcopy job is started. Than it goes down.  My question is: When the auxcopy job starts all streams nad the most getted performance is allocated and that the function with the throttel on sp ract and the speed will be limited ?

Is versioning (on s3 compatible bucket/namespace) even relevant for Commvault Backup of VM, SQL, Oracle DB workloads to S3 Compatible Storage.

HiI created a backup job for a VM with deduplication enabled at subclient level selected as “on the client”. Enabled Versioning on the bucket configuration. Took FULL backup twice. But it didn’t create versions of the same backup.Later, I ingested some files inside the VM and retook the FULL backup. Still, No versions created at the bucket level.I then disabled deduplication at the subclient level, retook the full VM backup, it creates more folders in the bucket everytime I initiate backup job.Questions:Does Commvault even leverage versioning feature of the S3 Compatible Storage? If yes, how ? If no, then is it safe to say we can keep it disabled with S3 overwrite enabled? How are more folders getting created when I disable deduplication and taking multiple FULL  backups of the same VM (no modification to the file system or anything)? Does Commvault overwrite the existing backup chunk folders on the namespace if a backup is taken twice?

Content Indexing/analyzer for file system backups / File Storage Optimization

Hi, Can we run content indexing/analyzer while doing an aux copy from tape to cloud OR if we can restore indices from tape media to local disk and gain access to file level analytics reports ?Well, i’m looking to move all tape data from on-prem (tape) aux-copy to S3 deep glacier archival for long term storage. Before moving the data, I need to get file level details so incase if we need to restore we have the details. (I would like to go direct to glacier due to the chunk size being larger and not stage it to on-prem or normal s3 bucket.) Another method/suggestion to index information post aux copy or reading from tape would be good to know.Thanks !

Authentication - Use Secure LDAP

According to the documentation, we should enable the secure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for additional network security with the external domain. Important: This can only be enabled when the external domain is configured to use the secure LDAP. If this protocol is enabled from the CommCell Console, but not configured from the external domain, the feature is not enabled.How Can I check if the external domain is configured to use the secure LDAP?

Question on Command center vs CommCell Console

I’m a fan of the Console but I’m told it is no longer going to be supported. I’ve been instructed that I need to stop using the Console in favor of Command Center. Just a couple questions about that though.Do I need to recreate my configuration as Plans on the interface? I’m finding that my Console jobs are running, and I can manage the job, but I don’t seem to be able to make changes to things like policies.If I do setup plans and get everything going in the Command Center, will that override the Console settings? Do I need to do anything in the Console other than to stop using it?I’m also open to any suggestions, tips, etc. that you can provide.
