my current environment on primary side we are not using commvault dedup and compression using storage end. so when we are going to do the aux copy commvault dehyderate the data from storage and using the wan compression full data transfer to the DR side or second site and destination side we have data domain on primary we didn't have data domain. any possibility to dedup the data  before sending to the destination like DASH copy (only reference point transfer to the destination)  objective is to reduce the wan traffic instead of transferring whole backup. I know i am asking silly question. 

Hi, If anyone can explain, I would appreciate it.Commvault 11.32.119  Our company is gradually using Plans and a question has come up.  A question here. According to my research, Commvault creates two scheduling policies to satisfy the RPO. One is generic and the other is more specific to database agents.If the most specific database policy only has just one task, which i

Hello Commvault Community, Is it correct for the global admin to become the team owner when restoring Teams? The logs indicate that the global admin is removed, but in reality, he becomes the team owner for the restored structure. 00000 xxxx  abc Adding global admin user[globaladmin@example] for team[xyzabc]00000 xxxx abc Successfully added the global admin user for the team[xyzabc]00000 xxxx  abc TeamsRestoreHandler::restoreconversation() - Successfully restored Topic[0123].00000 xxx  abc ExRestoreWorker::DoWork() - Processing complete for stream: Processed items [1], failed items [0], skipped / Non Eligible Items[0], bytes read: MB[], time taken: min[0], Stream number [1], of worker[], Total items assigned to worker [1], File items returned from indexing [0], Folders returned from indexing [0]00000 xxx  abc Removing added global admin user[globaladmin@example] for team[xyzadc] RetryCount[0]00000 xxx  a

Hi,I have several CommServe installations in our different offices, and I’m experiencing the same issue in all of them. I can access the CommServe URL without any problem, but many sections and pages do not display the information.They keep loading indefinitely, and a “Not Found 404” message appears briefly. I have tried restarting the Tomcat services and running iisreset, but the issue remains the same. I’m running version 11.36.87.Everything has been working with no problem for a long time, but now it’s not. Any idea about what can I do?  

Literally - So did I miss some release notes that editing reports is no longer a thing? I have more than one CommCell doing this and I only noticed it when our backup summary reports suddently turned to “garbage” with essentially no content.11.40.34thanksI see I am late to the discussion in the Report builder thread. You guys have no idea how frustrating this is. OR, maybe you do by the looks of that other thread?

Hello Commvault Community,  The ThreatScan mechanism has changed between SP40 and SP42. The old mechanism from SP40 is currently deprecated and renamed as Threat Analysis.

Hello,I am in a situation that I need to move a mount path to another mount path. I would like to just have backup jobs from the move path in the destination.Is there a way to prevent new backup jobs being written to the new mount path while the move is running?Something like the bullet points below.BR Henke Set "Disable mount path for new data" on the destination before initiating the move Leave the setting untouched while the job runs Manually clear the flag after the move completes (since the job only auto-clears it on the source, not the destination)

I seem to be missing some logic in the workflow for approvers. If the default approver group is master, but I have an external DL / group of users who I want to approve changes, how can I get it to trigger the email to that DL?Meaning - I don’t just want the master group to be notified of something needing approval, but both master and the external group’s notified at the same time (so either another master OR one of the external DL members can)?I initially tried setting the default approver to the DL but no email comes out (yes the DL has a working email for it). The approvers in that DL don’t do anything in Commvault, they are simply authorized to approve.thanks

CVMongoRecoveryAssistant cannot launch due to missing CVMongoRecoveryAssistant.dll fileI would like to solicit some advice as this has happened to me twice already.  I have been wanting to test the recovery tool for MongoDB use by Commvault.  For some reason everytime I run it, it complains about a missing CVMongoRecoveryAssistant.dll file.  I look into it in the base folder and the file is missing. This results in the tool not being able to launch. I tried to lab the Commvault using a different media and I have the same result. The DLL file is missing.Is this a known issue?  Any advice is appreciated

Hi community.We recently configured the Oracle agent on a Linux machine, the instance is discovered and configured.

 I am having an issue with a Live Sync setup I created for a customer.The installations on both the production CommServe and the standby CommServe completed successfully. However, after enabling Live Sync, nothing happened.When I checked the Failover Process Manager, I could see the production server with a green status indicator, but the standby server did not have one.I also noticed that the CommServeDR policy does not have any SQL subclient associated with it. The only thing I can see is instance001 from the production CommServe.Later, I realized that the entire configuration was done without TCP ports 8405 and 8408 being open between the two CommServe servers.My question is:Is it possible to revert or completely delete this Live Sync configuration and recr

I’ve got a new installation that’s just completed and am having an issue with the Health Report in the Dashboard.The Error I’m seeing states ‘Unable to load the data from the server’.I’ve checked all services, restarted Tomcat/IIS and the CVCloud DB are online.When you click on the Health Report it then loads an error that the ‘User does not have access to the page’.The user is part of the ‘master’ role with associated entities configured correctly. Any ideas where I could start troubleshooting from as the next step?  

By default, the Web Server is installed as part of the CommServe installation when IIS is enabled on the computer.If you did not install the Web Server during the CommServe installation, or if you want to install additional Web Servers on other computers, you can do so by using the installation package that was created from the Download Manager application.How do you create the installation package for the web server, because I cannot select webserver. If i install the Command center ,the web server is not installed. I use 11.40.38.My co-worker see the same issue.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/commcell-console/installing_web_server.html

I’m busy with a new installation and getting an issue where the installer gets stuck on the below screenshot. The error in the install log is also listed.I’ve checked the status of the VSS writers and they’re all healthy. The Windows Event log isn’t showing up any errors warnings either.I suspect this might be a permission issue, but I am a local administrator on the server 

Hi everyone,We recently deployed a new HyperScale Edge appliance.I am planning a migration/cutover of an existing Storage Policy (currently writing to legacy local storage) to the new HyperScale Edge. I want to validate the following GUI-based procedure to ensure it aligns with Commvault Best Practices, specifically regarding data retention, limits, and potential known issues during the cutover.Additionally, if anyone has an official flowchart or graphical diagram of this specific cutover process, please share it.Proposed Migration Flow:Step 1: Target Infrastructure Verification Verify the newly installed HyperScale Edge has automatically provisioned its dedicated Storage Pool. Step 2: Create Secondary Copy Navigate to the relevant Storage Policy (e.g., SP_HafatzaDan_All). Right-click -> All Tasks -&gt

Hello, Commvault archiving doesn't stub files with error Action:[StubbingSkipped], Reason: [File has Extended Attributes]. Files have Extended Attribute $KERNEL.PURGE.CSOOA0000 set by Crowdstrike.Is it possible to force Commvault to stub such files? Maybe using some exclusions? 

Since a few months we have the problem that the archiving function does not work anymore. Files that were previously stubbed without any problems are suddenly no longer stubbed. Also files that had a recall are not stubbed again. In the logs it says "Reason: [Skipping as file has recall on data access or open attribute ON]". Files are for example jpg and bak. We are already in contact with the support but they don't get any further.
