All, what is best practice for the SQL install when deploying CommServe? If I were deploying a high performance SQL installation I would typically put OS, SQL DB, SQL Logs, Temp DB all on separate disks (not partitions on same disk). Is this best practice, desirable or even do-able with CommServe?

 Hi Everyone, i am trying to understand when a backup copy job run what exactly it is doing  and if it slow down the network. My Snap copy for VM are slow they finish between one and three minutes but backup copy job are taking hours like 1 to 4 hours. i thought NETAPP take the snap first as NetApp reach out to the client get the snap and save it with itself than CV reach out to NetApp for the that snap to make a backup copy.When CV asked for backup copy from NetApp does NetApp reach out to the client again to grab the data?  etwork in my inviorment

Hi All,we are configuring CommVault for the first time to take backup of Mailboxes using Azure Active Directory. The authentication is successful however we are still getting the error “Insufficient privileges to complete the operation. ErrorCode: Authorization_RequestDenied”.The Service account is a Global Admin account, unable to identify the root cause. It seems there is Authorization issue however all required permissions granted to the application.   

Hi,Can anyone help in the process to deploy VSA proxy in AWS for configuring EC2 backups? Thanks

We recently have implemented Commvault backup for MS SQL servers. Most of the backups are using the default subclient.However, I have run across some reading previously that for big and/or critical database like 1 TB in size, it would be good idea to create additional subclient. I think something if backup fails, it has something to do with restart all databases again? Is that correct? Can someone shed some lights on this?Let’s say I have 30 databases in a server, if one fails backup, the other 29 needs to be rerun from the start?Please adviseThanks

 Hi teamI have installed DAG Exchange 2019 servers on Vmware virtaul machines. Is it possible to use intellisnap functionality in this setup to backup (snap) exchange databases ? I have checked that VMware VM image backup and also Exchange database agent are supported for intellisnap and all requrements (separatelly) are met.But what if Exchange DAG is installed on Vmware environment ?I would not use “application aware” backup because of limited functionality of databse backup in that case. I want to use Exchange Database Agent backup fully configured inside DAG servers and runing beside of vm image backups.Thanks for all advices.

Hi Community,We have a use case for single instance InfluxDB servers that will reside on VMs on-prem, with the possibility of including the software clustered on-prem also in the future.As far as I can tell there is no information to backup InfluxDB that I can find in our CMV DOCS or on this Community forum, does anyone use this and have some good recommendation.The influxDB comes with backup and recovery tool sets, so I would imagine using the tools to create backups and ingesting the folders into Commvault via file backups frequently might only the be the case  here, and couple that with a VM backup of the OS vDisk.Anyone lese have a view or working scenarios with decent RPO?Thx for any replies

We have a CommServe and Media Agent on a same windows server.

Hi,We have three new SAP R3 system installed, beside several others. SAP for Oracle Agent installed and configured on all of these servers.SAP for Oracle backups are running without any issue on most of our servers, but on the three new server, there is a warning. "Error Code: [18:104] Description: Some warnings might have been ignored for this job. Please check the backup.out log for details." Status:"Completed w/ one or more warnings" There are no skipped or failured folders or files.In the suggested backup.out file I can find following: "BRBACKUP completed successfully with warnings" and "BRARCHIVE completed successfully with warnings", but nothing more about warnings.Where could I find the reason of warning?There are several "successfully" message, no "warning" in the log, only at the end of BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE process. If SAP for Oracle backups can be completed without warnings on other servers, it should be on new ones also. I think.

The following content is output in the job log:‘ERROR 3546 (YH000) at line 24: @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED cannot be changed the added gtid set must not overlap with @@GLOBAL.GTID_EXECUTED’I hope everyone can provide a solution. Thank you！
