Hello Team,In case of VMware backup in a HPE StoreOnce (backup repository), I’m wondering what’s the recommended method to deploy the MediaAgent.  Be physical or virtual?In case of virtual, I see the advantage to configure VM backups with hotadd.In case of physical, probably you have more security & reliability, but still looking for best practice.Please for your feedback,Nikos

Hi All,CommServe stopped working after the 2023-11 Cumulative Update for Windows server 2019 had been installed.There are some strange issues with the CommServe database. cvd.log:… CheckDatabaseUpgradeInProgressOrRelease() - Product Version [] does not have all required fields.10464 2abc  12/27 14:16:49 ### ValidateDatabase() - Aborting startup as database upgrade is not complete. Please make sure that database upgrade is completed successfully.10464 2abc  12/27 14:16:49 ### cvdPostInitCSChecks() - Failed to validate the database. Will retry after 30 seconds and DatabaseUpgrade.log:validateInputParams() - Database Upgrade Script Version [] does not have all required field.) I am not aware of any Commvault update/upgrade at the time of CU update.We are planning to fix it by DR recovery. Could someone provide us with another option? Thanks.Lubos

Hi everyone,I’ve a problem, After installing Exchange package on Exchange 2016 on-prem server as shown in documentation, I try to add exchange mailbox agent as shown in https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=100566.htm and when i try to add a new application type I get a message “Creating this application type is not supported. Use the Exchange Mailbox agent from the Command Center or the Commcell Console”.Plz tell me what to do.

I’m trying to prevent updates from being installed on a specific client.  It is an older client that needs to stay on v9 because the iDA is no longer supported.I am following the suggestion posted here:Is there any way to prevent updates and upgrades from being pushed to a client? | Community (commvault.com)I created the Additional Setting at the client level to test, and then kicked off an Update Software job.  The job ran and it didn’t seem to honor this setting as it showed “Update In Progress” and eventually failed out due to another issue on the box.Can we verify that this should work on v11.24.69, and that the key is correct [bSkipUpdate]?  I also attempted to use the Excluded Machines list from Software Configuration but that didn’t seem to work either (it says on that screen that the list only applies to automatically discovered machines, so I assume this was originally used for install software jobs where there were automatic discovery rules).Also wondering which log I would s

I created a storage policy and changed the storage policy from one of our Postgres clients to this new one storage policy. Storage Policy used for all Archive Log backups from the old one to new one: SP_PJe-2G.  Data Storage Policy from old one to new one: same SP_PJe-2G.  I ran some Incremental jobs, just log backups, and today I realize that during the Full Backup Job there was a comunication between the new MA server cvault-ma-20 and the old one, cvault-ma-02.  This new storage policy has the following Data Path Properties.  The MA server cvault-ma-02 is not a member of the Storage Pool STGPOOL_SC05.Why the new MA server, cvault-ma-20, is talking to the old MA server cvault-ma-02?  ANOTHER QUESTION: 10.1.66.47 is the other MA server on Storage Pool STGPOOL_SC05. I suppose that there is communication between the client and both of two servers because of deduplicating process. In few words can someone tell me what really occurs during a deduplicating backup job in terms of Query and I

Hello good,I have a question, I would like to be able to manage the backups so that they are not executed if there are not entirely free streams to assign them, but rather that when all the streams are configured in the free backup it is executed.Example so you can understand me:I have an Oracle RAC backup (2 nodes) with 4 streams per node for a total of 8.I want it not to be executed with the streams that are available at that moment if there are not enough to reach 8 and thus use all the configured ones, I mean that if there are 4 free streams in the Storage Policy, do not perform the backup with those 4 streams but Only do it when all 8 are available.Is there a way to manage this? any variable/additional settings?Thank you,All the best.

Hi, We have CV running at 11.32.30 and CommServe configured in HA with Livesync working perfectly fine. As a part of the organizational change, we have to modify the CommServe HOST NAME for both active and passive Commserve Hosts. Can we do this change with out any harm to the configuration? if any one has performed it or if it is documented, can you please point me to it ? I am a little worried to do this change as it can disturb the entire configuration. Any quick suggestions will be of great help. RegardsRaj
