Self-Hosted Q&A

Hello I’m working on an application to capture all clients in an environment and assess their backup status. So far I’m getting stuck on capturing all the clients in the environment. I see there are multiple endpoints that I have to hit to capture all the items and I’m wondering if there is a catchall endpoint for this OR if there’s not, what could be the best way to go about this process?Endpoints I’ve touched so far:/Clients/Clients/VSAclientlist/Clients/VMPseudoClient Any assistance would be appreciated

Hello everyone,I need help with the following error.When I tried to run my Aux Copy it failed with error [13:138] then I added some additional settings in the MediaAgent so the error disappeared and when the job started again I got another error [62:1243]. below the two errors .Error Code: [13:138] Description: Error occurred while processing chunk [3884774] in media [V_1028949], at the time of error in library [SP_B7_EndPoint_01] and mount path [[MediaAG7] /data], for storage policy [EndPoint] copy [synchronous copy] MediaAgent [madr03]: Backup Job [296892].

Hi team,Getting the below error even though the Subclient has been deleted:  What are the right steps to get a mount path removed and its associated Storage pool and policy deleted?When I tried to delete it from the Storage pools, got the below error:  on reviewing the logs, found the below entries:  

Recently our system administrator have changed the root password of one of the linux servers. the readiness status of the server becomes [Not Ready] with message is [Communication failure between Client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the MediaAgent xxxx.xxx.com. Error returned is:Connection failed. What could be the reason behind this issue? is it network related issue or root password changing issue? 

Hello!Can anyone tell me which logs I should start with when troubleshooting the issue that cache won’t update? this is an MS365 Exchange Online backup job.Should I use the logs on the index/access node or the commserve server, or both, and what are the logs called?I am not getting a “wrong password” error, and I have checked that MFA is disabled for the service account.  

Hi,the customer wants to backup some clients through a gateway. We did the configuration of gateway client and network topology.The main problem is that the customer wants only Commserve to communicate with clients through proxy. Backup was failing because there was no communication to media agent as the customer picked only myCommserve group in the network topology. So we did share paths from media agent to the Commserve. It was still failing because the client couldn’t reach DDB on media agent. So then we have changed deduplication from ‘On Client’ to ‘on Media Agent’. Now the buckup is running but never ends. It stucked on 25%.  Can we configure backup through a proxy but allow only Commserve to communicate with the client by using share mount paths to Commserve?If not is there any other way to meet customers requirements? Regards,Lukasz

Hello i have a error with :  Cannot get information index drom previous backup when backup VM Any ideas for solve this case?

Hello all, As of now, we do not have override data paths as a supported functionality for Log files at the sub-client level. Any plans of CV implementing this in the future? Thanks,Sukanksha

Hi Team, I have an issue with an intended Unix client install.Filesystem agent only. We unfortunately have port 8400 occupied by other software, so I need to install to a different port.However, I don’t see where i can over-ride 8400 with my intended port. And for whatever reason, I can no longer find detailed instructions on the Unix\Linux install process.I’m not a Unix admin, so probably like quite a few of us, it would be helpful if there was more detail on available options. Bottom line, can someone advise how, or where I can provide a different port during a local install (I have a Unix tech available to assist). Thanks

🤣 Have a great weekend everyone… 😊 

So we utilize qlogin to execute various scripts, but at times members of our backup team run into an issue where they see this error message if someone is currently logged in: Error 0x23f: Another user to the same commserver has already logged in, please logout from that and then retry. Instead of running a qlogout -all command, is there an easy way to verify who the currently logged in user is?

Hello,I have added two snapshots here that show the setup before and after the .net update. The problem I have is that the web server no longer works after the update. That's why I wanted to ask if I need to update anything besides the hosting bundle to get the web server up and running again. Even restarting Tomcat or iisreset didn't help after the update. RegardsThomas installed .net package “Hosting Bundle” before Update .Net after Update

Hello Is there a way to tell Commvault that the “Full” database backup in a plan should be a real Full, and not an Differential backup.I know that I can add an additional Full backup, but  I want the default full backup to be a true Full Backup  

Have a customer who configured NDMP with FSXn.  Backups complete but are slow.  While attempting to find documentation related to this process I came across this preso from CPR2023 where its explicitly stated we dont support NDMP.  BOL also doesnt show NDMP as supported yet the customer has this functioning at least successfully. So question is, do we are dont we support NDMP for FSXn?Link with supported agents showing CIFS and NFS but not NDMP.https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/157291_supported_agents_for_amazon_fsx_for_netapp_ontap.html

What are the benefits and drawback of enabling WORM functionality ? Can we enable WORM for tape policy? 

Hello,  I’d like to ask for your advice. Do you know of a way to determine which network is used by the backups running in the environment?  To give you some background - we have the general - PRODUCTION - network and the BACKUP network set up in the environment. All servers are connected to the general / PRODUCTION network. And most servers are connected to the BACKUP network. But sometimes there are some connection problems - the BACKUP network can be inaccessible for some servers. In such a situation they could be using the general / PRODUCTION network - which is what we wouldn’t want them to do. I know we can verify what network is used by a backup looking into the backup job logs. But this would be close to impossible to do it for the whole environment.  Maybe you know, or have heard of a way to determine which network was / is used by the backups running in the environment?  I’d be grateful for any suggestions :) Thanks and regards, Tomasz

Hello,I just updated one commcell to 2023E from 2022E.Release notes states that some reports was deprediated in release 2023, like Audit Trail report.There is a link to a support document, stating that to get any information a user needs to be a meber of, 1. master 2.

I want to to fetch a list of clients which has file system agent installed in it using Commvault DB query and the output of the same will be used as an input to display all FS clients to run backups only for file system agents.

We are planning to deploy some Media Agents for extra copies.As the primaries are RedHat machines we prefer Windows for the copy where the current preferred version is Windows 2022 Core.Allhough I’m confident it will work based on the documentation here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/3011_windows_file_system_system_requirements.htmlI know it’s about a File Agent, but it states that non-GUI / push installs will work fine on a CORE edition. The only packages to my knowledge that require a GUI installation are CS & WebServer.SInce we want to be fully supported we do try to follow the specific supported OS’s for a Media Agent here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/2822_mediaagent_system_requirements_01.htmlThere you can see that ‘Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard Editions’ is supported, but it’s not mentioning specifically Windows 2022 Core (which it does for Windows 2019 Core).Some time ago Commvault support mentioned that a documention update wa
