Self-Hosted Q&A

Hello Commvault Community,  If the environment is already configured with Network Gateway (and it works) and I want to change the Hostname of the intermediary module itself (Proxy/Network Gateway), should I do it somehow differently than changing the Hostname for other components in the environment? Changing the Host Name of a Client Computerhttps://documentation.commvault.com/2024/expert/changing_host_name_of_client_computer.html I'm asking because I performed this procedure and on the Network Gateway module itself, the Hostname was changed, but on every Client that is indicated to communicate with the Commvault Infrastructure through this Network Gateway module, it wasn’t changed and the IP address is still displayed, even though it was changed to the FQDN address. A

Dear Community,In a organization with 1GB network cross infrastructure, Im looking a way to redirect a backup traffic from a Client Server with 10GB lan → a Commvault MediaAgent also with 10GB LAN.This client has a huge Database and in order to proceed with backup, a 10GB interface network!Please for your recommendation / workaround in order to redirect the 10GB interface between the specific client ↔ MediaAgent,  which also has 1GB network (for the other backup jobs)!How can we ensure that database backups are routed through a specific 10GB network, considering that the communication between the ComCell and the client currently occurs over a separate 1GB network? Is it possible to prioritize backup traffic to utilize the higher bandwidth network effectively? Best regards,Nikos

Hi Team, Is there an option to edit/customize the content of the email below regarding notebook backup?  

Hi Team, I saved it as "Save as Script" and Synchronous for 2 separate Windows subclient via Commvault.Let's call them 1.bat and 2.bat.I also created a main.bat and made its content as follows.call 1.batcall 2.batI added Main.bat to the Pre Scan phase in another Windows subclient from the Commvault Console as "C:\CVScript\main.bat".Our expectation was this: main.bat will be triggered by Commvault and first the 1st bat will run, the backup will be completed and then the 2nd bat will run and the backup will be completed. After this, the Pre Scan phase will be completed.Currently, the Pre Scan phase is running, main.bat is running and is completed in 3 seconds, but the 1st and 2nd bats in its content cannot be run. It actually needs to run for about 9 hours.When I manually trigger Main.bat, it works as expected.Does anyone have an idea ?

Anyone have setup a lab Commserve on a virtual box VM. Mine has a very high cpu and memory usage despite no backups running.I wonder if you guys have setup one before and was able to tweak so it does not consume a lot of cpu and memory even when its idleThis is Commvault v11.32 with the latest hotfix pack already.This is running Server 2019 with SQL server 2019 as the SQL backend for Commvaultrunning this on a makeshift virtual box VMThanks for any tips and tricks you can provide

We use Oracle on a Linux servers. The Linux teams installs the Oracle agent for us.All Linux servers are VMware servers. When we check the Java Console. Sometimes we only see the Oracle agent and the other time we see Oracle agent and Virtual server.What is happening here.Perhaps Commvault installs the agent voor VMware/ Oracle application Aware backup?Can anyone help? 

Hi,I found the bellow settings for a couple of Windows File System subclients.After reading https://documentation.commvault.com/11.16/subclient_properties_retention.html. Am I to understand the Minimum retention based on file modification time’s “Retain objects indefinitely” as the objects will never be aged and never get to the Deleted item retention?Eg. if File1 is created and changed and three months later deleted. It will still exist in the store 3 years after deletion time….  

So I`m working on permissions and making sure users only have access to the appropriate entities and interfaces.We are AD Integrated and so all users have access to the “My data” via webconsole which is intended and works fine - Our administrators have access to everything and perform multiple backup operations throughout the day.Since all users (admins and non-admins) are AD integrated, when I go to Command Center and select Domain Users and Restricted Consoles, add CommandCenter, CommCell Console, API etc, and hit ok - our Admins even though they are part of another group without the regular restrictions applied to regular users, they too lose access to the mentioned consoles. It kind makes sense, it applies the most restrictive permission to all Domain Users.Any alternative here to exclude those admins from getting restricted by that Console Restriction within the domain users group?We do not want to create local admin accounts.

Hello Guys :)  @large environments: How do you monitor (proactive) CommVault - CommServe, MediaAgents, xAgents, Jobs, Logs, Dedup Engine/Performance, Alerts, Reports, ... and so on? I've used Nagios with checkmk. But what is the current  "state of the art"? Buzzword AI. For example, I like how Azure is handling all the metrics, and can solve some problems by itself or can give you useful informations, can trigger events/processes, can "learn” - and for example, can create trouble tickets or something similar. Which tool makes your life easier? Grafana? Excited about your feedback(s) :). Cheers!

Hello,we have customer with SAP Installation based on DB2 which on Netapp NFS Storage.We would like to use Intellisnap Snapshot function with DB2 and NFS Volumes.If I check the Intellisnap Matrix :https://documentation.commvault.com/snap/#/storage_check?fq.EngineName=NetApp&fq.protocolName=NFS&fq.AgentName=DB2Intellisnap is not supported with NFS & DB2.Is this still correct - because in general it is supported why not with NFS or is there any newer information which I missed.Thanks for a short update here.Thx & BRMarcel

Hi all, I have a short question.We are planning to back up our four Exchange DAG-Cluster. The CommServe and MediaAgents are in different VLANs (subnet) as the Exchangeserver/DAG-IP are.For sure, I have to create a firewall rule for the communication between  CS/MA and the Exchangeserver (where the iDA is installed). But the question is, do I also need to create a firewall rule for communication (8400/8403) between the CS/MA and the IP address of the DAG-IP logical object? Many thanks in advance!Skoomer

Hi all, is it possible to age/reset the password for a commvault user immediately?I only find the possibility to set the age value to ‘1’. ‘0’ is not allowed I think…So is there a way to force the user to enter a new password with the next login like a domain user with the option “User must change password at next logon”?Many thanks and regardsSkoomer

Hello Commvault Community, Environment version: SP32I am now testing the 1-touch procedure for Laptops with Win10 Pro. The 1-touch process itself runs successfully, but I noticed that it doesn’t collect Commvault directories, so the machine was recreated using the 1-touch mechanism without the entire Commvault structure (C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore is empty, there are no binaries there). I checked whether it was collecting data at the very beginning of the first Full Backup and the answer is - it isn’t collecting it. Backup is performed on the default subclient, so "/" is indicated in Content, which says that everything that can be backed up using the FS agent will be protected, but this doesn’t happen. Backup System State is also enabled, I haven't added any filters. The only thing that worries me is the fact that this is a newly created Backupset, because when a laptop is recognized as a Laptop, it is assigned

Command center dashboard is not displaying and showing errors. I turned off firewall and still giving the same error. it doesn’t matter if I access the command center from the server or different workstation, results are the same. Commvault server is virtualized if that info is any helpful   

we are configuring a development environment for our commserve software testing 2 virtual machines running on fast storage Let’s call them (commserv01-dev.company.au & commserv02-dev.company.au) with livesync option installed. We want to use a generic name for the web console of commserv-dev.company.au The Commcell console is named commserv-dev which loads okbut the web console loads commserv01-dev     using this doco I tried to get a multihost Digicert signed certificate for the https binding in iis manager https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/configuring_secured_access_on_web_service_01.htmlIt didn’t work so I had to undo the changes     However I have come across another post which says  that we need to configure for web console

Hello Commvault Community,  After upgrading the enviroment version from SP24 to SP28, there was a problem with the mechanism for VMware LiveSync. For the SP28 version, information about tags is collected, through which they are replicated/recovered with tags, which we must avoid because we don’t want such a situation. Is it possible to disable this ? Cause its automatically adding to next backup and I'm doubling the resources Thanks,Kamil

Looking for a way to extract the parameters of storage polices so we can compare the settings.

Hi All,My O365 suddenly having issue to backup mailbox with errors “Throttling from Office 365. Failed to process mailbox due to [Not allowed to access Non IPM folder.]”.Anyone having the same issue?regards,Fauzi

I realise that here in the UK we start daylight savings later than they do in the US, but has anybody else experienced any problems with it? Over the weekend, the majority of our commserves running 11.32 saw a large number (between 40 and 60) SQL Server processes killed within 10 minutes of the start of British Summer Time. This largely went unnoticed as far as the Commvault event log was concerned, although one of them did log a couple of 19:152 errors. This only happened on the commserves running 11.32 - all the ones running 11.24 saw no spids killed. I’ve opened a support case, but was wondering if anybody whose clocks changed last week could check their commserve’s SQL Server errorlog for me for the period immediately after the clocks changed (between 02:00 and 02:10 on 31st March for those in the UK).ThanksNeil 

do we have any report/SQL table represents the Tape drive utilization every hour of the day/week? Found a SQL table dbo.MMDriveHistory with data written & duration but how does commvault calculate tape drive Throughput from this table?
