Hi,I’ve searched the docs looking for Private Metrics Reporting server support on Linux OS, but I find support only for Red Hat/CentOS 7.7 which is pretty outdated so to say.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/3545_private_metrics_reporting_server_system_requirements.htmlAren’t there any never Linux releases supported for Private Metrics Server? Edit: I wanted to submit feedback to docs team but the “Submit feedback” button is not there anymore ☹️

Hi,I’m trying to restore backup of databases from our production SAP HANA database server to another physical server in our DR site but i’m getting the  error code: 19:599 Loss of control process ClSAPAgent.I have checked the param file in the DR server,CV_restCopyPrec and srcCrossclient is present. Communication between the commvault server in the DR and the DR Hana database server is ok. Any help to resolve the issue is much appreciated.

Hello! I know we can run scripts to validate applications (when using Application Validations for VMware VMs).Commvault has a few ready to use scripts (Oracle, SQL Server, MS Defender). Has anyone customized this MS Defender script to use another AV engine (like ESET, Symantec, Kaspersky, Trend Micro)? I heard that Veeam has a feature called Surebackup which kind of comes ready to use (checkbox) a few AVs instead of having to create custom scripts. Regards,Pedro

Hello everyone, when I run the backup of the FSBasedBackupSet instance it returns the following error:Description: PostgreSQL Database: [~Exception in [PGFsBackup :: SetDBInBackupMode] Type:[POSTGRE_EXCEPTION] Msg:[Could not put the Cluster in backup mode]~] Data Backup Failed.Checking the commvault logs gives a timeout exactly 5 minutes after sending the command.This command can take up to more than 15 minutes... 1461668 164da4 11/06 11:13:23 735019 SetDBInBackupMode() - Executing query => SELECT pg_backup_start('pgida_backup_5432_735019_1699280003', false)1461668 164da4 11/06 11:13:23 735019 QueryPostgres() - Sent query [SELECT pg_backup_start('pgida_backup_5432_735019_1699280003', false)] to Server1461668 164da4 11/06 11:18:24 735019 QueryPostgres() - Failed to get query output from connection service I would like to know if there was a way to increase this timeout on the Commvault side.Do you know if this is possible?

Hello again,my old pseudo was Bloopa, I have no access to my old account because it was disabled. I've changed customer and I had to create a new account. I use a selective copy to copy to tape all last fulls of the previous months.The current retention is 1 years. for the last copy of the year, I want to keep the data for 15 years. How to achieve that in a simple way.I see an option on the tape “un age Jobs” that allow to change the retention settings, but I am not sure if it is good. Thanks ! 

Hi,Some namespaces from the cluster are not visible in CommVault gui, so I can’t define an Application Group backup. ServiceAccount with cluster-admin role is created correctly, etcd is backed up, cluster is accessible from CV, except some namespaces. Any help would be appreciated.CV guikubectl get ns 

Good Day,Commvaut Intellisnap is currently using FlashCopy.This "Snap" feature is taking a clone of the volume so the scource volume is cloned at 100% of Space Usage on the array. Since some time there is a new ( i call it new ) feature implemented which is taking SNAPSHOTS. This will take only track of the changed bocks and not a full CLONE/COPY of the volume. "Spectrum Virtualize 8.5.1 added a new feature called Volume Groups Snapshots. This is a radically simpler method of taking snapshots than the current implementation of FlashCopy." Is there a impementation ongoing by commvault to utilize this much more nice feature or any ETA on this?  thanks 

 Version 11.28.32I have a couple of “dark-site” commvault installations where I don’t have any internet nor email servers.Is there a way to get rid of the event messages:Event Code: 35:3944 “SMTP Server is not configured, Email notifications cannot be sent”andEvent Code: 35:230 “The Mail Server is not configured to send E.mail. Please configure the Mail Server from the following location….” Can’t find any post how to disable this event messages…

Hello Community, #1 Does Commvault provide support for subclient-level software encryption in Intellisnap for VSA VMware (MA/proxy RHEL 8.8)?#2 if it does, is the encryption performed on the MediaAgent, similar to streaming VSA backups.#3 Does the impact on production VM resources is minimized when employing Intellisnap for VMware with subclient encryption enabled?#4 Also, does enabling Commvault's software encryption result in approximately a 5-10% increase in CPU usage during snap backup? thanks

I have a question about the Shared Job Results folder as used by Office365 sharepoint.Here is my setup:2 access nodes, call them N1 and N2Both Access nodes have a Job results folder set to its own local local dedicated drive which is 150GB in size. In the Sharepoint client I have configured a shared job results folder on a CIFs share that is 1 TB in size and both N1 and N2 are added as access nodes successfully.  Here is the issue:When I perform a backup of sharepoint I notice the access nodes local job results drives get used and fill up causing some failures of sites and subsites in the backup. I notice the shared folder barely gets used, but it does get used. The error reported for the failed sites is “Space Control Job level timeout 60 minutes”Am I missing something, do I need to manually point the 2 access nodes Job results directories to use the shared folder manually as well? Or do I just need to grow the local drives. I am not sure I understand why the shared Job Results folder

Hello,I have backup of clustered file severer (WSFC). In Commvault it is represented by “cluster client”.I plan to convert my clustered fileserver to standalone fileserver and preserve server network name.Could you please suggest best options how to deal with Commvault client? Maybe there is way how to convert virtual client to regular client and preserve all backup history and name?Thank you!

Hello community,I try to find a way to migrate / move an Index Server from Node A to Node B (different Server).The Index Server has o365 data, so I cant wait to expire and also need them in order to run next backup jobs (from Node B). Any idea how to implement it?Thank you in advance,Nikos

I did ccm work after Commcell migration and I'm trying to recover using data from the mediaDo I need to check other Compell Reuse Media options to read them?Does enabling this option affect the data inside the tape? 

Hello,How do I get passed the 10000 object limit when doing a browse or job summary report?On the report it’s onlu allowing max 10000 lines, and in browse I can only see the firs 10000 objects, the other 3252 I have no idea on how I can see or select. Anyone have an idea? Surely I shoulden’t have to contact support about it.//Henke  

I am working on using some pre/post scripts for a few linux docker servers and require to change the elevation.I have a previously setup subclient where I am able to utlize the “root” elevation but when I try to change that in the new subclient- I get this … weird message Where is this set? I can kind of bypass it in the command center- but not enough to where I can move on. Curious as to what FR enabled this :

Hello All. I’ve hardware refreshed a commserve on a new host. Build 11.32.23. I’ve installed a new media agent also at 11.32.23 and duplicated the packages installed in the old media agent it is eventually replacing. The old media agent has “Exchange Mailbox (Classic) ida” installed and is visible under the client in the commcell browser.  The new media agent has ‘Exchange’ package installed; this is visible in the ‘properties > version’ tab. In the commcell console, commcell browser, under the client for the new media agent, I see some ida’s (fs ida, VSA ida) but not any Exchange ida. In the properties of the new media agent client, I select the option to release licenses, just to see what licenses are consumed, there is only fs and vsa. When I run an install software job for the new client, “Exchange” is greyed out so there is no ability to install.  Though the customer is not using the exchange classic agent any longer, backup activity is disabled on the subclients for it, there
