Self-Hosted Q&A

Hi all, The user is currently using RHEL 7.9 and is on SP 28. He is aware that the latest version of support for RHEL by Commvault is 8.7 as per (https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/107801_system_requirements_for_red_hat_virtualization_access_nodes.html).Given the document was last updated a few years ago, could you please confirm if we extend support for 8.8?If not, when are we likely looking forward to supporting it? Thanks in advance!

Scenario:One Azure Tenant (“A”) with production workload only (Azure VMs, Azure Files, Azure SQL, & in-guest Applications).One Azure Tenant (“B”) solely for Backup resources (Media Agents, Blob Storage for primary Backup, Access Nodes, etc.).Both Tenants are in the same geographical region in Azure.Backup Azure resources from Tenant “A” using the resources from Tenant “B” with the Backup stored in Tenant “B” on Azure Blob. Why different Tenants? Mainly for administrative purposes (separate Users, Subscriptions, Network connectivity). Questions:Is this even possible? I’m aware that the resources used for Backup should be in the same geographical  region, but what if they are in a different Tenant?From my understanding it should technically be possible, but I’m unsure about possible drawbacks (latency, egress costs, etc.)Any experiences or recommendations with such a setup?

Hello community, I would like to ask you for an advice. Lately I`ve found the failure when I did check readiness on media agent (windows 2016, CV version 2022E/11.28.56). Error:Communication failure between MediaAgent 172.xx.xx.23 and the client “mediaagent1”. Error returned is:Services on destination are down.  Communication failure between MediaAgent 172.xx.xx.23 and the DDB MediaAgent “mediaagent1” Error returned is: Error returned is:Services on destination are down.When I checked services on both media agents, all are up and running. both are in same vlan, so no FW is in place. Both servers were rebooted in last days. DDBs on both MA`s are either online.if it is a normal FS client, I would push “repair software” option on the media agent. Thanks a lot for any advice. 

Following the rather vague process at Enabling Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) on an Existing CommServe LiveSync Setup (commvault.com) for enabling TDE on a LiveSync configuration.Using the process here How to configure Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in SQL Server (sqlshack.com) on the Primary CommServe it’s a relatively simple task to generate a Master Password, Cert, Encryption key and apply it on all Commvault databases AFTER turning off LiveSync.Copy the Cert to the secondary CommServe, and using same process after recreating the cert in SQL and Encryption keys apply encryption to “some” of the CommVault databases. However 4 Databases including the CommServ datab

Hi there,I just have a question about the Unusual file activity. When I go there I can see the graph and the graph also shows the Deleted Files including how many filers were deleted and the date they got deleted. So, Is it possible to see the details for that? Or generate a report for that? Thank you.

Is the any reason for the NDMP Properties button to be greyed out on a netapp that was added to array managment?  I am able to take a snap backup, when the back copy runs I get the following messageError Code: [39:28]Description: Please enter NDMP credentials for client:[myNetapp].Source: cvcs2, Process: NasBackup However, the NDMP Properties button is greyed out so I cannot add the credentials there.

I have a customer with a deprecated Commvault environment that’s on V11 SP10. They no longer use the environment and want to recover Mailbox Classic Data.I’m seeing a strange issue, where I cannot recover multiple mail messages (and by default entire mailboxes) if there are attachments in the mail. If I recover messages with no attachment, then I can recover them into a PST file.The error I see is:Looking at the logs, the restore job is trying to reference a DDB ID that isn’t available under Storage Resources. I suspect it may have been deleted at some point (the system has been inactive for a few years).The active DDB’s are all online and accessible.My understanding is that a DDB isn’t required for a recovery operation, but it seems to be causing issues with mails that contain attachments.

Hello all.If like me you’re in the unenviable position of having to still protect some 2003 clients even though they are long deprecated, and after a reboot despite CV services running they just won’t communicate, try adding the nAllowOlderClients setting from here:https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/3605_installing_clients_with_deprecated_operating_systems_or_applications_on_windows_computers.htmlThis has worked for me.  I didn’t need to change anything on the client itself.

We have a media agent with low disk space alerts going off (on the OS disk), all the usual suspects only returned a few GB of free space.After analyzing the media agent’s OS disk, the JobResults folder is 192GB (55.2GB on disk), one of the largest offenders.Can this folder safely be relocated to give it some more breathing room?This seems to mention clients however at the same time does not mention media agents.If I move the JobResults location, will it potentially nuke the media agent and all jobs/indexes too?https://documentation.commvault.com/11.21/expert/6588_changing_path_of_job_results_directory.htmlThanks everyone!
