Hi all, hopefully someone can help with this.
We’re long time users of Commvault and very familiar with storage policies, schedule policies and the like. We’ve recently migrated our VMware estate to a new vCenter and have taken the opportunity to also migrate to using Plans at the same time. I’ve got a number of plans based on the times I want the backups to happen and the storage it’s going to (our retention is the same on all of them). So this has meant that I now have a large number of storage policies and I feel like the Aux copies are not really running efficiently because there’s so many of them (they are all trying to use the same resources, lots of errors about being unable to set up the copy pipeline that I wasn’t getting before). Backup hardware hasn’t changed whatsoever and the primary copies are working fine so I don’t feel this is to do with the new equipment as the issues are all contained within the existing setup (MAs, storage). Previously we had 2 storage policies covering everything so only 2 aux copy jobs running. I don’t want to break the plans but I can’t see what to do to make these work better and am considering going back to the old storage policy/schedule policy method as I have more granular control. Has anyone got any advice for me?
