Hey there everyone!Does anyone have suggestions on how to go about working around an ISP issue where the 5th or 6th hop out to the internet (from the datacenter) is dropping packets and causing the backup to cloud storage to fail?We’ve tried adjusting chunk size and retry intervals, but it still seems to be hard to get the data through before the entire job fails.Any help would be appreciated. The amount of backup data would be around 4TB for a full. Thanks!

Hi all, We have 2 Datacenters with 1 Media agent on each, they have the exact same configuration but on one the VSS services (SW & HW) are running and on the other one they are stopped.Services are in manual startup so my question is when are those services started? what is the default behavior? Stopped and started when needed? I know this topic has already been discussed but those specific questions weren’t answered. Thx in advance for you answers.

Hey, we've got HyperScale X with 9 nodes running RHEL 7.9.We recently added another node running Rocky Linux 8.9, and they're all on version 11.32.54.Each node successfully rebalanced.Backup and restore operations work fine on the new Rocky Linux node.Issue:When I ran the command /usr/local/hedvig/scripts/showmembers.exp on the existing redhat node, I noticed that all the Red Hat Linux nodes have two entries for ports 7000 and 7010, but the Rocky Linux node only has one entry and is missing port 7000. when run command /usr/local/hedvig/scripts/showmembers.exp on the New rocky linux node, it give an error “operation time out”netstat show there is no service running on port 7000 what port 7000 is used for and how to enable it on the Rocky Linux node.thanks  

We are running Commvault v11.32.43.Some of our VMs have the File System Agent in addition to the VSA backup and we want to delete the FS agent from those VMs.After we perform release liscence and delete to the FileSystem Agent via the CommCell Console, the VM still shows even though we have the ‘Display Virtual Machines’ checkbox un-ticked. (The VM shows it has only VSA agent via the CommCell Console)

Yesterday we added a new client to our commcell.  We had originally purchased 20 Virtual Operating Instances.  So with the addition of yesterdays client we are now at 100 %.  We have used all 20 of 20 licenses purchased.My question is why do I see this message in the events:System has reached within 100 percent limit of [Virtual Operating Instances] usage. System may start to disable options soon. So yes I understand we are at 100% and have no plans of adding another client unless of course we release a license on a current client.  But what does it mean SYSTEM MAY START to DISABLE OPTIONS soon??? now sure I understand why it states this. SNIP: Please adviseThanksBC

Hello Commvault engineers !I have multiple Plans with different retentions created.We are using a monitoring tool that catches snmp trap sent by the Commserve and generates a ticket on Snow when a backup failed.Into this plan, sometimes we have some clients that are stopped by users and during a backup, they generate an error “Backup failed client offline”I am looking for a solution to avoid that offline clients generate an error.Thanks for your help  

As title implies, I am retiring a VM Server. Currently, this server gets backed up daily, and it kept on local disk storage for a period of 1 month. What is the correct prescribed method using the command center GUI to “stop” the daily backups, and then just have the data age off for the next month until there is no data left and I can delete the VM from the VM group backup. Do I simply change the “plan” the vm is affiliated with to “none”?

I had to run the Forecast report on a storage policy to try and figure out why some old jobs are not being aged. I am used to see the jobs give a reason in the “reason for not aging column”.However many jobs in this case do not have a reason.First thought was that maybe the job is required by another job, but the job ID in “required by jobs” is the same job.What could be the reason?
