So Is Commvault Platform Release 2023 11.32??Why have two names of the same product?!?//Henke

Hello, we have deployed 2new windows 2019 machine and made a disaster recovery of the Commvault database using the recovery assisstant tool and also installed commvault on another host to build a livesync solution like we had before.The IP and the hostaname of the commserve host has been changed, but the name for the commserve client is the same. We installed failover packages on both primary and secondary machines as written in the documentation. The problem is, that now we have 4 clients in the failover assistant. How to get rid of the restored failover clients now? IF I delete them, the new sql clients will be also deleted as the IPs are the same?

I am in the process of deleting a Storage Pool that is a cloud library (library in question is on prem S3 Storage solution).This mirrors as closely as possible  process I followed with Global DDB’s, but this is my first deletion of a Storage Pool and want to be 100% sure I don’t leave any data on diskListed below are the steps I have run All dependent copies have been deleted and there are no copies associated with storage pool Data aging has run and there are no pending deletes, there has been a week since this was done. I have confirmed there are no jobs associated with the DDB’s When I view the DDB’s I see Application size is 0, size on disk shows blocks still remain but I assume this is the residual base line that will be deleted from disk after the Storage Pool is deleted.  

Hellowe have purchased a license for 10 TB of snapshots. Yesterday we removed tons of snapshots from the arrays and no space was reclaimed at all. Today in the morning even more space was taken by snapshots than yesterday. We use intellisnap with vsphere and netapp. The license is full and we are getting alerts all the time. Any idea why this is happening or how we could fix this issue>? Comments: System has reached over 101 percent of the limit for [Snapshot] usage. Jobs may not run. Purchased quantity [10240]: consumed quantity [10360].

i am getting below alert , we are using latest 11.32 software package , i dont remember creating a SP for DDP in the past dedeployments , any idea     Invalid Storage Policy ID.

Hello all, Some doubt makes me ask some questions to community before acting please. I’ve never set such mssql backup. As i’m not a mssql expert, i’ll try to explain and understand as well as possible, so please be kind! I’ve a mssql failover cluster composed with 2 nodes.Only one node is active at the same time, and has the network share hosting the database mapped, not double mapped on passive during this.There is no special availability group (that’s mostly my point) I’ve experience in backuping an exchange dag, so i would suppose same backup configuration philosophy:Install mssql agent on both nodes, no config Create a virtual client “mssql ag client”But this is my doubt, when i select this, i’m asked for sql clients (ok, nodes), sql instances (ok, instances), but asked for availability group.I don’t have done now, i try to understand this before, so maybe

Hello, How can i check if big data apps clean running properly, because i see on the vm backup SP 142 big data apps jobs. We are using Inde V2 so the big data apps creating not on subclient level but on vm level?  For example here is the printscreen of out vm SP. There 139 jobs of big data. Now i want to know if the clean up working or not. We are using System Created for Index Backups that runs once a day. But i dont see the scheduler for clean up. How can i check it?    

We want to be able to restore all the data that we have archived for a customer back to the same server.  They have archiving setup in both FS and a NAS location.  They want to decommission archiving  I  can trigger a restore from the most recent synthetic fulll archive and restore all the data back to production servers; however just wanted to make sure it would completely replace all the stubs that were ever created on the source server.  I was reading through the documentation as as I understand the retention of the stubbed data only works on copies at the moment the storage policy sends data to local ma and one aux copy to another location and third one to tape; so hopefully the SP retention policy wont apply to the local MediaAgent.“ Retention is only considered for copies that contain the job. From <

Hi Team, Is there way to determine to see one of our client computer group license usage on commcell console or command center ?I checked some but didn’ t find any related. If doesnt have that would be great I think. Best Regards.

Hi,My client changed the port number of his SQL instance to a specific number. His reason was to hide the instance for security purposes. However, it caused Commvault failed to backup that SQL database. with the error “Failed to validate the credentials for instance...”The client told me that everything that needs to point to that instance has to has the instance name like this SQLDB01,port-number\DB01 I wonder, what could I do in Commvault to back up this SQL database?Thank you.

Details below, but in a nutshell, I’ve successfully set up two VSA proxies for the hotadd transport thus far, one at each of two sites.  One site, at least, needs more. I “swear” that I’ve set this proxy up the same as the others, but for the life of me, it’s not appearing on the access node list: Both the existing proxy and new one have the following software: They’re on the same subnet (sequential IPs, for that matter) and both have established communication with the Commcenter on port 8403.  The working VSA also has a session with port 8400, altho it’s working so that may be the reason why…I can successfully cvping on ports 8400 & 8403 to the commcenter and o

Does anyone have idea or any documentation regarding security hardening for Tomcat apache on windows machine , i can find it for Apache on Linux server , is there security precaution already done on the commvault package not Secured OVa package  any help please 

We have AIX client where we haven’t configured Commvault, But our server team had cloned this AIX client from another server.When I give Commvault status command on this cloned server, it displays the name of the server that is in backup.I want to uninstall Commvault from the cloned server and if I select “Remove all packages locally” will it uninstall the Commvault from the server which we are backing up? As this cloned server displays the name of the server that is in backup.I understand that remove all package locally does decoupled uninstallation where it doesn’t communicate with Commserve computer. I just want to make sure, me uninstalling package from cloned server shouldn’t affect the original one.

Hello,I installed by my customer the CDR package on the Commserve server (V 2022E) to replicate DRBACKUP directory to another windows server. It didn’t work for unknown reason, so I decided to uninstall/reinstall/repair the package. But there is no option, how to do it. So I released the license for for the CDR client and then deleted. Now I have no access to the CDR client software and its not possible to uninstall/activate/reconfigure it. Is there any possibility to reinstall/uninstall the CDR client on the Commserve server ?Thank youJiri.
