Getting ‘:( Application Error’ when trying to access the Expert documentation. Anybody else facing the same issue?

Hello, I am performing a test restore on a single file within a Windows VM in VMware. We are running commvault 11.30.34. I have never seen this error before and cant find any information online. Does anyone know what it means and how to approach this? The restore job is basically stuck as pending with this error.   Error Code: [32:392]Description: Volume Operation is in Progress : [One or more volumes are dangling in SMVolAction table.

We are testing Commvault data backup and restore to S3 Compatible Storage. For Oracle, archive log backup is successful whereas restore fails, and in the case of Oracle default sub-client both backup and restore fail. For the restore operation of the archive log:We were unable to find the below-mentioned data files backed up in our object storage even after a successful backup, and we could notice that the GET requests are failing 302 and 303 errors. Error in CommCell : Error Code: [18:183]Description: Failed with Oracle DB/RMAN error [RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 05/23/2023 07:13:55 RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 11 found to restore RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 10 found to restore RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 9 found to restore RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 8 found to restore RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 7 found to restore RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of da

I am curious if anyone with a large CommCell environment (>100,000 Jobs per 24 Hours) is exclusively using Command Center to manage their environment, and if so, what is the experience like?

We require 1 million objects to be ingested from MS SQL into our cloud storage via Commvault. We created a table with 5 million rows of data in MS SQL but when we perform full backup from Commvault we could only see 20 objects being ingested. Could you suggest us any way how we can simulate 1million objects 

Greetings! We’re performing a new backup of an Exchange 2019 database.   Before running the backup, we had ~ 4000 log files.  After, ~400.  This sounds good.  But we note that the log files remaining are indeed from the last 2 weeks (beginning of the month).  Any clue why some files would remain.. ?   Thank you for your time! 

Hi,I recently observed, that executing “retire client” on a CCM imported Client deleted the client resource regardless of still existing backups.The same applies to the Workflow “retire clients”https://cloud.commvault.com/webconsole/softwarestore/#!/136/671/22103that can execute the retire operation on a group of clients.Is this a product error ?This can easily lead to a situation where clients are deleted and backups are lost even though not intended.Observed this behavior on a V11.32 CommCell.To solve the dataloss issue, I had to repeat the CCM export / import operations for the affected clients.rgdsKlaus

Hi Team, I have an interesting scenario with occasional backups complaining with an error like this one:- “Backup Pending. Failed to update metadata information on the CommServe” Unfortunately the clients involved vary, and so it looks like a generic issue, either with the Commserve, maybe the network, or simply with load. We are a pretty busy environment (3000 jobs per night), and so what I really want to do is look at some kind of Workload Balancing report. Ideally I would be able to see how many jobs are running at any given times, or at least roughly indicated. And I could do with the schedule name if that is possible.My theory being, is that if I’m seeing too may jobs submitted at 7pm for example, and very few at 9pm, then I can rebalance the schedules more evenly. However, for all the information and reports that are out there, I haven’t yet found a report, or a graph, or whatever which shows this information. We also have a shedload of schedules, so although I can manually and p

Hi Team, I’m starting some preliminary research into an eventual OCI migration.Can someone please point me in the right direction so I can research this. I need to try and understand :- 1 - How do we hook into the OCI databases?2 - Are there different variations on OCI backups?     For example, I see a section on the VSA agent and how to configure that, as seen here:-https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/121700_guided_setup_for_oracle_cloud_infrastructure.html But are there other methods of backup? I am still in the process of gathering more information on the OCI config side of things, but I am keen to see what we can do from a Commvault perspective. Thanks in advance ….. 

Hello I need to migrate an existing commserve with mediaagent role to a new site/server.During the migration both existing and new commserve should remain active for backups for about three months. Then old commserve will just be preserved for legacy restores.How can this be best achieved without buying a seperate license for new commserve? Thanks

Hi,I want to use Commvault to backup Azure DevOps. I don’t have the option “DevOps” however under “Protect” in  Command Center, as described here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/add_azure_devops_app.html (just doing a pre-check).How can I get the option to add the Azure Devops App? Or will the option be there after I have installed the necessary software (Cloud Apps) on the proxy server?Thanks!

Hello,Maybe a dumb question but is it possible to do 1-Touch restoration by a Network Gateway ?Regards,Fabrice

 Good evening, we have noticed some discrepancies with Commvault backup logs in that we are unable to view failed backup logs for an specific Oracle server.  It seem that when a backup is successfully rerun, the logs are overwritten, and when you try to view them the logs are not available.  Is this a known function? RegardJohan

Hello everyone,a customer contacted us and reported that the VSS files on the domain controller were bloated on C:\System Volume Information. He suspects either Commvault or VMware. I looked at several things but couldn't come to a clear conclusion. Maybe someone here knows this behavior and can give me a tip for the solution if this comes through Commvault. Kind RegardsThomas

The upgrade to the latest maintenance release failed.  I believe it is because Commvault thinks it is running Centos7.  Can I change the OS information in Commvault or do I have to remove the client and re-add it?Thanks,Tuesday

I’ve installed CV2023e on Windows 2022 server. Connected a Fujitsu Eternus LT40S2 however CV is unable to configure the library. See images. OS detects the library. What could be the issue? REgards, 

Hello experts,My datacenter  has physical servers HP proliant dl 380 gen 8.I performed full backup of windows server 2012 which was successful and trying to do 1-touch bare metal restore in other server of same model, it just keeps progressing endlessly as shown in the picture.NOTE: The bare-metal restore for same server to esxi is successful but not to the physical server. Will appreciate any help.

We have several remote offices in the Asia-Pacific region.  We are interested in deploying a Media Agent at AWS to service those locations.  These locations don’t have VPN access to AWS so we would need to send data securely from on premise servers in the several countries to the media agent for long term storage.  Servers are small, windows servers,  generally less than 2TB of file data with small rates of change.  No VMs.I am looking for some help to configure networking from the on premise servers to the Media Agent at AWS. 

Hi,the customer would like to use one plan for backup both: filesystem and database. The problem is that in ‘Add backup frequency’ He can choose only between ‘all agents’ and ‘databases’. It means when we have two actions: incremental at 5PM and differential for databases at 7PM it triggers SQL database differential backup twice at 5PM and 7PM.  He tried to modify schedule in CommCell console but he gets an error ‘failed to modify task’’.So the main problem is that we can choose only between all agents and databases. We can’t choose granular.  Does it mean that for fileservers and databases we should use separate plans?  Regards,Lukasz

I am getting “Internal error occurred -5” on Readiness Check on several clients after the 11.32.35 upgrade. Backup seems to be working still, but we can’t have this “false positive” alert every day.(Upgrade was done 4 days ago, so I don’t think it is something that will go away “by itself”.)We have tried restarting the commvault services on the clients, also the commvault repair option. No improvement.Anyone know what could be the cause? 🖖

Hello Commvault Teamwhy Commvault drop the support of Netapp Active IQ Unified Manager (AIUM aka OCUM) 9.11 ? Active IQ Unified Manager (AIUM) 9.11 is not supported https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/33744_system_requirements_for_netapp_storage_array.html by Netapp documentation it seems that AIUM 9.11 have the same functionality of previous versions https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/active-iq-unified-manager-911/data-protection/concept_manage_and_monitor_protection_relationships.htmlhttps://docs.netapp.com/us-en/active-iq-unified-manager-910/data-protection/concept_manage_and_monitor_protection_relationships.html Regards Federico 

Good morning.  We’re considering MS SQL Server always-on using the new 2022 feature “Contained Availability Groups” This feature adds an MSDB and Master database to the AG group, which allows jobs and users to be synced between machines. Is this functionality currently supported?  How might it work for restores/backups? Thanks- Chris
