My CommVault cloud media agent is offline. Is there a problem with the CV cloud services? I’m in Canada if that makes any difference.Ken
Hello Team, Just thought to discuss with everyone, we have lots of medias thats turn into "Deprecated” moved to Retire Pool which are very less usage. When am looked the information in Media Properties shows below message, When I could see Side information, shows ver less usage info : As per the default CommVault Media Hardware Maintenance shows as below, Here my question is : Whether those medias mark as good and re-use for future its advisible? Can you someone clarifity from MM. @Christian Kubik
We have some trouble with paths to a Synology nas going offline.Currently we have the DNS name in the path. I’d like to change that to referring the IP address instead. I’m pretty sure I can do it without any issues but better safe then sorry. Anyone see any risks of changing the \\DNSname to \\IPaddress for the path(s)? //Henke
Hi,We have a little discussion going on if transaction log backups are non-dedup by default despite the StoragePolicyCopy has deduplication enabled.Or do we need to configure a non dedup storage policy for this?In my believe a Log Storage Policy is there for other retention times and copies. The backup type decides if the data must be dedupped or not.Can someone clarify for me?Kind regards,Danny
Running v11SP20.40. We’re having a ton of occurrences in the last 3 weeks of this error across multiple environments:[The SDT data transfer was terminated on a request from the Job Manager.]I work in a MSP environment with the CS in one datacenter and the MAs spread out around the country. We have a minimum of 10GB on our datacenter links from MA-MA and MA-CS. I’m curious if anyone has seen this and has any resolution or troubleshooting steps.Thanks!
Can we use the Shared disk to create the DDB on Linux machines
Hello all,I ran into a bit of an issue… Yesterday, one of the Disk Libraries got filled up and the backups went into waiting status. After haveing a look at the utilization, indeed it turned out to be 99,7% full.The main culprit were SQL server backups: There were some backup jobs with an extended retention - so I’ve deleted those, and some more of the old backup jobs to make space. I also ran Data Aging and could clearly see data chunks being deleted in SIDBPhysicalDeletes.log and after a while I got this: So, I assume quite a bit of data was deleted. The Primary copy (blue) went from 52.95TB down to 19.81 TB. However, when I check the Free Space on the Library I got very little: So I checked the Mountpaths Space Usage for that DL: Data Written corresponds to amount of space used by the Primary copy: 19.8 TBHowever Size on Disk, which takes into account Data Written + aged jobs which are still referenced by valid jobs is still very high. Almost unchanged. I am quite confused by this.
Hello,We are in the process of migrating to a new disk library. This disk library is a pair of NAS devices with 300 TB on each NAS.We can carve out the NAS into multiple volumes with a maximum size of 150 TB per volume.When we first setup our disk library about 10 years ago, the maximum recommended size of a mount path was 4 TB. I know that is old guidance and I am sure this has increased over the years.We were trying to find something on the documentation and the closest we found was a reference to the maximum mount path being 25 TB, but it appears that the limitation can be overridden with a registry setting.So a few questions:Is there a maximum mount path size in a disk library? If there is, what is it? If there is, what happens if you hit the limit without adjusting the registry and can it be overridden with a registry setting? Regardless of a maximum mount path size, from a performance and management perspective is there a best practices on sizing the mount paths. We have thre
