Commvault software upgrade on Clients(Oracle, SAP, SQL DB severs)

I have few client with Oracle, SQL, SAP databases hosting in the clients.Our current Commvault software version is 11.28 and the few of the clients are in 11.17 and 11.20 versions.I plan to upgrade the software in the client and while pushing the software to this clients, I see 2 options.1.Reboot the client if required.2.Run Database maintenanceNow, if I check the “Run Database maintenance”, What will be the implications?Will it stop the database? or without stopping the database, will it just check the checkdb and reindexall?I need to know if checking the 2nd option will bring the database, as the server that I’m gonna upgrade is production servers.Let me know the best practice.

License File do not march this CommServer

Hello Commvault Community,I hope everyone is doing well. I recently purchased a Commvault license, but unfortunately, I made a mistake when entering the serial number during the activation process. As a result, I am unable to proceed with activation because the serial number I entered does not match the one registered on the CommServer.I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards,

SSO error while accessing Partner University site.

While accessing the partner university site I receive the following error and the “Click Here to find the possible solution for this error” page doesn’t help. The other topics related to this problem don’t give a solution except commvault employees doing something. Who would I need to contact to get this fixed?

after upgrade to 11.32 backup. On one client out of many stopped working. rest are OK

After updating from 11.28, to 11.32.  Have a single system that is not able communicate properly with the commserve for backup purposes.Check Rediness returns OK.cvping from/to the client and commserv is happy.All services on the client are running.client and commserve are in same subnet, so no firewall appliances between them.Client services stopped/started, and finally rebooted the client. no change.Some of the errors in the logs:“There is no incoming network connection from ‘commserve’”“No Incoming tunnel from ‘commserve’”“Couldn’t translate client name ’client’ to a client ID.last step i guess is to re-install the client?

Availability communicated maintenance releases

Last week we received a mail notifying us that new maintenance relapses were available. We run both FR32 and FR34. •    11.34.11 (06-Feb-2024)•    11.32.42 (06-Feb-2024)For both platform releases we now notice that those maintenance releases are not available anymore, instead MA shows 11.32.43 and 11.34.13.What happend to the maintenance releases who were made available last week? Were they pulled back or were they replaced, without communication, because new critical fixes were released? What should you do when you are running on 11.34.11 or 11.32.42?

obtaining MR versions of laptop agent software

I have a ticket open for this already, but a number of Commvault techs seem to be stumped, so figured I’d post here. We have a single all-in-one windows commcell server, that is airgapped and has no direct internet access. We use it solely to back up desktops and notebooks, so we have deployed the Windows Edge Monitor agent to all of them. I thought that if you downloaded a new MR, and ran the install, not only does it stop the services, do all the hotfixes, and restart the services - that it should also update the software cache so you’ll be ready to update your Windows laptop agents as soon as it is done. This does not appear to be the case, as we just did this, and while the new version number appears in the command center dashboard as well as the bottom of the commcell console, there are no newer agent versions appearing in the software cache. If we try to do a copy software job to add the newer MR to the software cache, commvault will fail that job, saying “Error Code: [68:481] De

Clarification on changes to full backups in Platform Release 2024

Hello!In the latest platform release 2024 (11.34), the option to select “All agents” for a full backup was removed. The change note states “Full Schedules apply to database backups. For other agents, each backup job will back up only the new and modified items and create a full recovery image. Therefore, running repeated full backup is not required.” It links to the “Server plans” page of the documentation, but not much else is mentioned there except for step 5 in “Creating a plan” which states, “To specify additional backups, such as weekly full backups, move the Extended retention rules toggle key to the right, and then add rules.”Does this mean that all server backup plans use synthetic backups by default if it is not a database? My use case is largely running application consistent backups for virtual machines. Currently our backup policies state the exact day and time that weekly/monthly/yearly full backups will run, which may need to change to keep compliant if we are not able to
