Hi Community,I have a corrupted DDB Partition! This is a Azure Blob StoragePool Copy.The Job “Dedup DB Reconstruction” starts and trigger the Filesystem Restore Job.However, the job immediately reports an error “There was nothing to Restore” The last backup also did not save any data and the restore job will certainly refer to this. Is it possible to select the second last backup job? It contains the DDB partition Data Can I run the Filesystem restore manually and the "Dedup DB Reconstrution" workflow skips the Filesystem restore?I do not want to use the option "Reconstruct entire DDB without using a previous recovery backup”, as otherwise the complete data will be read from the Azure Blob Storage account  I also wanted to delete the current backup Job so that it might select the second last backup. Unfortunately, deleting DDB jobs is not possible! Does anyone have any idea how I can restore the DDB? Thanks and best regards,Andreas

10TB capacity license in useCurrently, 6.97TB (about 70%) is in use.I'm going to add another client to back it upThe backup capacity is estimated to be approximately 4TB.If so, do I need to buy more licenses?And is the capacity measurement method of the license application size or data written capacity?

Hi,  I have customized the default workflow ‘Demo_ServiceNowCreateIncident’ available in Commvault to create incidents in ServiceNow if we have failed backups in the environment. This worked fine for almost a year.The ServiceNow was integrated with AD and all users including the service account were accessing the ServiceNow using SSO. The user the workflow uses to Authenticates with ServiceNow every time the workflow triggers is an AD service account user. The AD user will login to ServiceNow using its credentials and OAuth token. But now that the Client enabled MFA on all their AD accounts due to Security policy, the workflow no longer works.  I tried to open a case with Support to request a workaround for this issue, and Support wants us to provide as much information as possible and what type of authentication can be used with ServiceNow. I don’t know what other authentication methods can be used to login to ServiceNow without triggering the MFA. My client is of opinion that Commvau

Can we install second media agent on existing commserve infra? actually, already schedule the backup and after second media agent installed, the respective schedule backup job changes the Media agent as second one. then will happen any issue or will backup start form be beginning what? 

HelloI installed commvault using CommvaultExpress_Media_11_34, I have selected:Create a new CommCell Create New DatabaseI saw message: Installation and configuration completed successfully with Command Center URL and Metrics Reporting URL.I opened /commandcenterurl.

Hi Team, I have two separate SQL Servers. Can I make a definition such that when the backup of one ends, the backup of the other one starts after that?

Dear community,After initial Commvault installation, noticed that Im getting Anomaly notifications about “No Schedule” for “File System” about MediaAgents.Considering that all MediaAgents have internal backup jobs for DDB, INDEX (?) etc, is there any suggestion for further protection?What is the best practice to protect Media Agents?Best regards,Nikos

We have a user that is able to bypass the need for entering in their password + MFA token when logging into the Java console. This user is part of a group where MFA is enabled and SSO is disabled for our environment. I'm not sure what the reason for this would be? When the user initially logs in through the Java console, then opens up the web console, their login for some reason persists. So if they close out the Java console after closing out of the web console, they are then able to login to the Java console without the need for entering in their password or token. It seems as though for some reason the login session persists through the web console. I’m pretty sure this is an additional setting that needs to be modified somewhere, but I’m not exactly sure where this might be?

Hello,Do virtual machines that are added to the VM filter consume licenses?Do virtual machines that are used only for VSA proxying consume licenses?Thank you

i have seen the documents for oci pca backup and i was checking vsa proxy requirement it was referring vm manager in the requirement.  https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/oracle_cloud_infrastructure_for_private_cloud_appliance_pca.htmland system requirement for proxy is below , is there any connectivity requirement ?https://documentation.commvault.com/2024/essential/oracle_cloud_infrastructure_system_requirements.html  

So, I’ve got a ticket in for this, but have only recieved remedial solutions.  Basically, when we back up the dedupe database, its snapshot appears to be happening ok, but it’s missing files, as in they’re simply not there (see below).   It’ll take days of downtime (hundreds of servers not backed up) if we simply need to rebuild this.  Could this be a corrupt DDB?  Anyone else seen this issue?  ERROR CODE [6:43]: Backup failed: unable to open or read a file. Configured to fail on any error. Please check the following: 1. The account that the File System agent uses has sufficient privileges to back up files. 2. The data being backed up can be accessed and is not on a path that is unmounted or is inaccessible. 3. A third-party product is not locking the files. 4. There is no corruption of the data on the disk. 5. If some failures are expected, please change the current setting so that the backups can complete.Source: MyMediaAgent1, Process: clBackupFiles failed to back up:·  [D:\ddbfolde

Trying to do a decoupled installation of the agent on a RHEL server. Can complete the decoupled installation on the client without issue however when going to add the client in Commserve and using the option “Fetch the configuration information from the client that is already installed in decoupled mode” there is no option to tell it to use the Network Gateway that all remote agents connect through. How can this be achieved? 

It appears that AD-based Accounts are now subject to account lockout rules - is this an 11.32 feature, or has this been around for a while? Also, is there / is there going to be a method to unlock accounts via the CommCell Console, or am I going to be forced to use the Command Center?

Hello, Our security team has found a vulnerability in Python36. Now I saw that 38 and 39 are also on the CommServe. My question now is how can I clean this up? In the overview of the programs installed in Windows, I don't see anything from Python because it was delivered with Commvault. To solve the problem I would have to get rid of Python36 but I would like to simply delete the folder without consulting here.Is anyone able to help me ?RegardsThomas  

I’m being told by support that restoring PST is not possible using legacy indexing. That we must build a new Indexing server using CVSOLR indexing in order to restore PSTs. When did legacy indexing get deprecated? 11.34

Hello everyone,We still have a few public folders running on Exchange on prem and we recently upgraded from Exchange 2013 to 2019.  I’ve tried to configure backup but am getting:No service account(s) found for public folder processing. Please assure that a service account is assigned a malibox association with owner permissions on the root and subroot public folders in order to proceed with public folder operations.This looks to be an Exchange issue.  Is there documentation anywhere that shows the steps to configure Exchange?ThanksKen

I’d like to use VSA based File Indexing for a single Windows VM file serverThere used to be a tick box option in the JAVA Console / Subclient setup - But that seems to have disappeared. The Option now is to-Use VM Groups in Command Center easy to do)-But I’m then guided to use ‘Plans’ Is there anyway I can bypass this and use my existing Storage Polices  I’m happy to use a plan if needed (as I only want VSA file indexing for a single VM - so this would be ‘standalone / isolated plan - specific to a single VM)  

So.. last year we’d implemented a scheme where there were many subclients looking for VMs through vCenter as such:We later noticed a major drag on vCenter, which was causing lockups and such.  We then changed the scheme around to something simpler, with far fewer subclients.  The issue went away.  As I see it - we simply had overburdened our ESX servers/vCenter with too many authentications and checks. Now, it’s being suggested to me that we create far MORE subclients.  I’m thinking of taking what it’s found now per datastore and putting them into a static content as such: VMs in the future will be handled differently (we’ve got a policy setup using category\tags in vCenter - this is our old school method for servers that haven’t been brought into the modern fold).  Question - does anyone know if this will generate more authentication traffic again?  CV could just authenticate once then go about its business with the list?We’re using a windows domain account to authenticate… I’d think

Hello everyone,i’m trying to configure Sharepoint online app.Following the documentation I should configure an Office 365 plan, but I can’t find it.From the Command Center, in Manage→Plans, as well as in Guided Setup→Office 365, there is only the Server backup plan.What am I doing wrong?Thanks and regards

Hi Community,our customer has upgraded the CommVault Environment from Version 11.28.102 to 11.32.45.Since the upgrade we have Issues with AUXCopies and the VMware VSA backups.We have this Issues with our 4 physical Media agents (Windows 2019) at the head office.The following errors occur sporadically on different DDBs and MediaAgents The following app crash events occur in the Windows log on all 4 MediaAgents I have already carried out a CommVault Instance Repair on all 4 media agents, but unfortunately this has not solved the problem.A CommVault Case was created. Support suspects a Windows OS issue. But I can't believe that all 4 MediaAgents have an OS problem.A "check readiness" on the MAs shows no problemsHas anyone had similar problems after upgrading CommVault to version 11.32.45?best regards,Andreas  

Hello, Are all the firewall ports listed here (data protection network, except 8400,8403,8800-8900) only need to be open between hyperscale nodes or are they also needed between commserve/clients and hyperscale nodes?Hyperscale nodes will be used as media agents. https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/firewall_port_requirements_for_hyperscale_x_reference_architecture.html
