SharePoint Online API Permission incomplete

I have a customer protecting M365 with Commvault.  The Azure apps for SharePoint online are showing the following status issues: Checking the application permission these permissions are granted via the Graph API as below:  When I look at our Metallic tenancy the SharePoint Online App permissions have two additional permissions granted:Documentation for both on-premises & cloud doesn’t mention the SharePoint API permissions, but are these are what is required to clear the error in the app configuration? API permissions listed for cloud: https://docs.metallic.io/metallic/request_and_grant_permissions_to_azure_apis_for_azure_app_for_sharepoint_online.html On premises: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/request_and_grant_permissions_to_azure_apis_for_azure_app_for_sharepoint_online.html

Sharepoint (v2) backup seemingly running fine, but all azure apps give permission errors.

The jobs are seemingly still running fine without any failed items.I restarted the services on the access node, also tried verifying in another browser. Maybe it could be a problem with browser cache, but no.Discovery and index timestamps are up to date.Running 11.32.23Any comments on this? What should be done? Can I trust the backup?

Creating Secondary Copies for Plans, via CommCell Console

Are there any issues with creating a Secondary Copy for a Plan via the CommCell Console, with the intent of promoting that copy to Primary?For whatever reason, the Plan isn’t correctly listed within Command Center, and as such I am concerned about causing further issues if attempting the change via Command Center. Plans are terrible.

Question on License capacity

Hi Team,Recently we had multiple clients because of which license was over utilized to 130%. so, I disabled the clients for which backup isn’t required and now the license utilization is at 92% but I still see the below error.“The system is over the licensed capacity/usage. Data management jobs will not run.Please contact your software provider to purchase additional capacity/usage licenses.Click the link for details on how to address over-capacity or over-usage situations.”Could you please suggest if I need to worry because it says Data Management jobs will not run.

Mix and Match Linux/Windows Media Agents?

Getting ready to deploy Commvault Media Agents to AWS EC2 instances.   A pair of Media Agents should do the job.     We have several sets of Windows or RedHat Media Agents in our environment.   Going with a pair of Windows Media Agents would require us to have a File Recovery Enabler for Linux VM, too.   Going with a pair of Linux Media Agents might require us to deploy a Windows proxy/access node VM.   Are we able to roll out a mixed pair of Media Agents, instead?     One Windows Media Agent, One Linux Media Agent.   Same global DDB.   I can’t find anything on it.  Curious to hear thoughts.   Thanks!

Nutanix AHV support for Indexing Version 2 - When will it be available?

Currently running Commvault 11.24.  Have several large Nutanix AHV clusters.   Nightly incremental backups are very efficient, but the weekly synthetic full backups are painfully slow.    Since Indexing Version 2 is not supported for Nutanix AHV, the synthetic full backups run with a single stream.    As a result, we have our backups for each cluster broken up into several subclients, and stagger the synthetic full backups across the week.    Furthermore, the impact of the Indexing Version 1 synthetic full backups seems to extend to Aux Copy events between our sites.   I believe that the synthetic full Nutanix AHV backup data is Aux Copying on a single stream.   Not good! Now, looking to the future, on 11.30, we can see that every hypervisor will support Indexing Version 2….except for Nutanix AHV!     Do any Commvault folks know when Indexing Version 2 will be available for Nutanix AHV? Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

K8s Incremental restore

Do we have any option to perform Incremental restore.we have tested the Namespace and Application level restore( in and out of place restore). while performing the out of place restore for already existing namespace , if overwrite option is not enabled restoration fails and it succeeds if overwrite option is enabled. In backend this overwrite deletes all the existing resources from the namespaces and recreates again. we are not able to achieve the incremental restore which is not suitable for the TB’s of data size.

Kubernetes licensing

Hi everyone,how is Kubernetes backup licensed within Commvault (not Metallic)? I found nothing in the Licensing Program Guide. I know VSA is used, so I assume it’s a per Container license. Can anyone provide an example setup and its related license requirements. Thanks.

PostgreSQL error

Hello, I’m running PostgreSQL v13.14 on RedHat 8.9 I want to restore a PostgreSQL Instance from FSBasedBackupSet.This will only work if I made a Full backup before I start the restore. Otherwise I got the error:Cannot start restore program on host [xxxx*xxxx*8400*8402] - a network error occurred or the product's services are not running.Source: wi823-sep, Process: fsIndexedRestoreThis is the link I use:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/restoring_one_or_more_postgresql_databases.html. But why must I do a Full backup before starting the restore. What if the Instance is corrupt and I can’t start a backup?
