Hi everyone,

I am looking for advice in associating VM's on a shared vCenter to different companies. We have a big MSP vCenter where a lot of our customers have their VM environment that we protect with Commvault.

We currently use server groups that are associated to VM folders on the vCenter. The server group is associated to a company so the VM's are automatically associated to a company. This feels a bit of a workaround but it is working at the moment.
I also saw thread Assignment of VM's to Companies which explains this solution with VM tags which is almost the same solution.

As the referenced thread is 3 years old, is there a better way to do this? We tried adding the same vCenter multiple times to create different selections for companies but this does not work.

Kind regards,

Paul G

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately because it’s all within a single vCenter instance Commvault doesn’t split it by sub-assets.
At least for now, the way you are associating VMs to a company is the best method.

You could also contact your account manager and request a new feature to have a more automatic company association process and then our development team could look to implement something in the future.

Cheers,
Jace
