Hi Everyone,
I’m working on a case where the “Perform Datastore Freespace Check” option has been disabled for all the subclients at every pseudo client in the environment.
I ran the Audit trail for last 365 days and could not find anything related to this setting changes.
Customer has recently (like a month ago) upgraded his Commvault version from 11.40.22 to 11.40.28.
He suspects that after this upgradation, the issue might have occured.
He noticed the issue last week when he received the alert in vCenter on datastore utilization during the backup window.
After checking with Arlie, I found that:
- In versions prior to 11.40.8, the "Perform Datastore Freespace Check" was enabled by default if not explicitly set.
- Starting with version 11.40.8, the default value is disabled (false) unless explicitly configured.
Can someone please guide me on how to enable the “Perform Datastore Freespace Check” option by default even after upgrading to a newer version.
