Thanks for the post @Vamsi vardhan !
Here’s how to reduce the count:
- Review the License Summary report and note all of the VMs that were being calculated.
- To decrease licensing, remove existing virtual machines from the subclient content and run a full backup jobs or synthetic full backup job for all the subclients.
- Note that the following types of data are also excluded from the usage calculation:
- Subclients with disabled activity.
- Subclients with no storage policy.
The Usage Calculation for the Protected Virtual Machines License documentation can be found here: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=6971_2.htm
If Capacity can not be reduced you will need to purchase additional licensing.
