You must upgrade all MediaAgents at the same time

I’m planing to upgrade our Commserve from 11.28 to 11.36. During earlier updates I started the update with Commserve and Commcell Consol. If it succeeded, Media Agents followed one by one. Maybe our 8 MA was updated in two different day. Thereafter, clients followed.But now, in the “Changes in Commvault Platform Release 2024E (11.36)” document I can find that, “You must upgrade all MediaAgents at the same time.” Why is it mandatory?Commserve 11.36 can’t manage MA ‘s on version 11.28? Two MA, one on 11.28, other on 11.36 can’t work together? Not forever, just for a few days.Thanks in advance.

Client Certificate Errors

Hello, Recently, I have been encountering client certificate errors in my cases. While we can resolve them, I suspect that Commvault introduced some changes regarding client certificates starting from version 11.32. Could there be any insights or information about this issue?

Active Directory Permissions to Back Up Group Policy Objects

Hello!Having just upgraded to 2024E, specifically 11.36.41, I notice the Active Directory agent now supports backups for GPO as documented here - Great. Changes in Commvault Platform Release 2024EHowever, the permissions required are not particularly helpful: Permissions to Back Up Group Policy Objects via PowerShell: The account must have the necessary permissions to back up GPOs using PowerShell cmdlets. By default, members of the Remote Management Users group possess these permissions. My question is, if you don’t want the account to be a member of “Remote Management Users” or admin groups, what granular permissions can be set on the account to still achieve the backup? full error:-----Currently whilst the backup is completing for AD as it always has, its now completing but with error “Failed to process group policy object”.Error Code: [28:548]Description: Failed to process group policy object. Please verify following: (1) User account configured in Active Directory connection setti

Third party software security updates

Hello,Security scans are being carried out at many customers' sites and are increasingly pointing out third-party software installed by Commvault and missing security updates. Are the third-party components automatically updated by Commvault updates? Can the updates also be installed manually without any problems?Regards, Thomas

backups stopped working file and sql

Seems friday our backups stopped working for file and sql. I show cvd.exe faulting in application logs on all of the serves for the agent. I strongly think this was from some update or upgrade from Commvault. All agents in portal show “Not ready”. On each box I can see the metallic communication service going off and on every few minutes. Something changed and its for everything. No support on weekends so things just aren’t backing up. Need any help if possible.  I have restarted our on prem media gateway - no changeI have restarted a few of the SQL servers - no changedont see anything changed in Firewall. no denies etcI can reach Media agents from clientsAny ideas?  Version is 11.38.15 on all agents and media agent.

Agent upgrade strategy

Hi,We’re about to start upgrading the agents on the client servers and I’m curious how others are handling this activity. Of the course the goal is to have a successful upgrade and don’t cause any disruption.For the overall approached we will be using this:Updating Commvault Software on a Server Grouphttps://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/updating_commvault_software_on_server_group_01.htmlWe will be grouping our client servers into patch groups of 25 clients.Besides stopping the schedule policies and any running jobs what else should we be aware of? Also is anyone perhaps using a blackout window when performing the upgrades? It looks like you can add that to a server group but I’m not sure if it’ll work or not? It’s just to be 100% sure nothing will start while performing the upgrades.Last thing, we have some SAP HANA log backups that are being triggered from client side so they will not be stopped when the schedule policies are disabled. What is the best way to handle thi

Vulnerability for Microsoft .NET 8.0

Hello, one of my customers is running CV 11.32.89 and .Net 8.0.406. Their Security Team discovered vulnerability in the current .Net version and advised to update to .NET_9.0_SDK_(v9.0.200)_x64. However, in the Commvault KB I see, that manual DotNet updates to another major version (e.g. 8-&gt;9) are generally not allowed:Manual Upgrade of .NET Core RuntimeCould you please advise how the customer can proceed to handle the vulnerability?Best regards, Aleksandra
