Hi All.

I configured file archiving with the required configuration. Windows 2016 Server with local disk where all the files reside.

Archiving and stubbing is working as expected. I am also able to restore the file as data out of place to the same or different server.

However when trying to recall the file by double clicking the Explorer Windows hangs up. The recall doesn't progress. The Persistent Recovery job start but there is no progress.
I have added the below Additional Settings on the client which is also the Media Server.
GXHSMRECALL_ENABLE_EARLY_DRIVER_NOTIFICATION
StageRecalls
GXHSM_RESTUB_ENABLED

The server has Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.x installed. The Security team has confirmed that all the settings contained in "Symantec®️ Endpoint Security v14xAV Settings for Windows File Archiver" is configured. I have requested to have the AV temporarily disabled to test but are yet to receive feedback.

I have restarted the services and the server but this does not improve things at all.


Below is an extract of the ClMgrs log file.

Hi Iggy,

Thank you for posting your question. 

Only disabling the AV may not be enough, as the filter driver will be still active and cause issue, as well as disabling the AV I would advise to remove the AV filter driver to rule out if AV is the cause of the issues here. 

You can also run the following command on command prompt:   # fltmc 

Check what other filter drivers are present and above Commvault driver (cvmhsm) check what application they belong too, Microsoft drivers are not known to cause issue, but if there are other application drivers this could cause issues. Please check for any other filter driver on the server. 

If there are any other applications accessing the stubs and that could be triggering recalls please add their process on the registry to exclude these processes from attempting recalls . Steps on this can be found here: 

https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=26200.htm 
 

Also make sure client has latest hotfixes installed and is up to date. 

 

Please let me know if this helps or if the issue continues let us know. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Suzanny Lloyd

 


Hi.

Thank you for the reply but unfortunately it does not resolve the issue.

All servers are running version 11.21.15.

 

I have excluded all filters listed above the cvmhsm filter from the output below.

 

Filter Name                     Num Instances    Altitude    Frame
------------------------------  -------------  ------------  -----
BHDrvx64                                4       365100         0
eeCtrl                                  4       329010         0
SRTSP                                   6       329000         0
vsepflt                                 0       328200         0
SymEFASI                                6       260610         0
storqosflt                              0       244000         0
wcifs                                   0       189900         0
cvmhsm                                  5       181400         0
CVDLP                                  10       145180         0
FileCrypt                               0       141100         0
luafv                                   1       135000         0
npsvctrig                               1        46000         0
Wof                                     1        40700         0

 

I then added the filters listed above “cvmhsm” in the registry in the location HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cvmhsm\Parameters by means of String.

Name = ExcludeProcess5; Value = BHDrvx64.sys

I added the rest by searching for the file on the client with the values below:

eectrl.sys, srtspx64.sys, vsepflt.sys, symefasi64.sys, storqosflt.sys, wcifs.sys.

 

Please let me know if there is anything additional that I can do to test the configuration.

 

Thanks.

 


Screenshots attached.


Hi Iggy,

Based on logs and also the fact you can restore files out of place, Index looks good here. I think it should be the driver itself and now that you have AV exclusion in place let’s try to debug further using below key on the client and see what logs give us:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance001\EventManager\DMService_Debuglevel   

Set the value to 9. Then recycle services, try a new recall to see what we can get in Clmgrs.

Good Luck!


Hi. I changed the log level in the Process Manager as the key you mentioned was not in the registry of client.

 

I restarted the server afterward then I was able to recall 2 files. After that the failures occurred again.

I am attaching an extract of the log with the successful recall and the failed one.

 

Do you think I should log the call with Support in the meantime?

 

Would it be worth it to request AV to be totally uninstalled on the Media Agent where I am running this testing from?

 

Thanks.

Iggy

 


Hi Iggy, 

 

I see filter vShield driver is installed, this is a VMWare Endpoint driver that can cause the shares to hang. 

 

Can you please follow the steps on this article: 

 

http://kb.commvault.com/article/WFSOP0002

  1. To verify whether the problem is caused by a driver conflict, complete the following steps:
    • Open the command prompt.
    • To view the list of current filters, run the following command:
      C:\fltmc
  2. If you see the vsepflt.sys driver in the list, then run the following command to uninstall the driver from the computer:
    C:\>fltmc unload vsepflt
  3. To prevent the vsepflt.sys driver from being installed during subsequent reboots, go to the following location and set the value of the registry key to 4:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\vsepflt

Note: If the preceding steps do not resolve the problem, then complete the following steps:

  1. Uninstall all VMware Tools.
  2. Re-install VMware using the TYPICAL option.

Kind regards,

 

Suzanny Lloyd


Hi Suzanny,

 

I don’t have access to unload the driver although I start the CMD in Administrator mode.

 

C:\Windows\system32>fltmc unload vsepflt

Unload failed with error: 0x80070522
A required privilege is not held by the client.

 

Should I change the “(Default)” string key to 4?

 

Thanks for the assistance.

Iggy.


Hi Iggy, 

 

Please engage the VMware administrator here, as this is a VMware filter driver. Could we try uninstall VMware Tools from this client? Then check if filter driver is removed? 

 

Once checked with VMware administrator and still further issues and assistance is needed I would advise to log a case with support so that we can further assist. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Suzanny Lloyd


Hi.

The VM & AV admins are unable to remove either component.

I have opened a Support ticket.

 

Thanks for all the assistance.

Regards,

Iggy

 


Just curious. is the stub an older stub? prior to FR upgrade? I only ask because of similar incident.


Hi Matthew, 

 

The issue here is during the recall the Windows explorer is hanging, this is usually caused by a filter driver that could be interfering with the commvault driver. AV exclusions are in place, but also this customer has VMware filter driver vsepflt which is known to cause Windows explorer to hang during recalls. We need to uninstalled this filter driver and check if issue will resolve.

If needed please log a case with support and we can review.

 

Kind regards,

My issue was resolved a while back. The fix was a mismatch in the application version. I have copied your response and put it into my “ Just incase” document for safe keeping if this happens in the future.

Thanks

Hi,

This is a fresh install. No updates have been installed since the Archiving started.

Cheers.

Hi Suzanny,

I have opened an incident to investigate this issue further.

The first recommendation from Support was to create a Registry key as below on the client.

SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance001\WinFSDataMigrator\PendingRecalls\LOCAL\], Value=aRepairInProgress], RegOptions=i0x0]}]

 

Unfortunately this key is removed once the Commvault services are restarted.

Regards,

Ignes

 


@Iggy , any update on the Solution?  Would like to get it in the thread and Marked as Best Answer for posterity :nerd:


@Iggy , I found your case with Support.  Looks like AV exclusions has not been in place so I’ll mark that as the Best Answer.
