Virtualization and Containers

Good Day,in July was announced from Commvault and Platform 9 that there is Partnership and native implementation will happen, see here Solution brief from Commvault:https://www.commvault.com/resources/solution-brief/commvault-cloud-for-platform9-private-cloud-directorI cant find any further information, regarding when it will we implemented in which version or any Timeline or something else.Any information which can be shared right now? Thx & BRMarcel

Hello!I hope you all are doing well!I have been working with Commvault for a few years, but I have never dealt with Kubernetes backup before. So I really do have a lot of questions and challenges.While I am still trying to prepare the environment to be stable and resilient, I discussed with the Kubernetes team a specific application called RabbitMQ.We currently have a scheduled backup once per day, but the k8s team told me that there are a lot of changes happening within this RabbitMQ queue. It is constantly changing.So my concern is: how can I help the k8s team to properly cover this? Do you know any best practices for such cases? Something like a log backup maybe? I don’t think running a full RabbitMQ backup every 15–30 minutes is a good idea.Do you have any tips? 

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to setup backup copy job to run right after SNAP backups job finishes.Does anyone has a clue? Default setting were to run every 4 hours but i have changed it to run once per 24h. Now it obviously CANT be changed back and its scheduled to run at specific time 08am.We use CommandCenter and can use also CommCell Console.

Hi TEam,  Is it possible to restore AWS EC2 instance to HPE VME cluster using commvault 

VM Backup failure.Error Code: [91:584] Description: Failed to get the index information from previous backup. Source: da-commvault-01, Process: JobManager

V11 SP36 I have this situation where we take a VSA backup of VmWare servers, the deletion of the snapshot can take sometime for two or three servers and causes a warning, when in reality the backup is fine The Delete Snapshot can take one or two hours, as a consequece the Commvault seems to register the ‘Delete Snapshot Duration’ as 30 minutes and a few seconds  In this case the snapshot was deleted after 55 minutesIs there any setting or something else, that could override the warning message?Thanks Mark 

We are migrating the Virtual machines from VMware to Hyper-V. Do we have any option to change the generation of Virtual machine during the restore from VMware to Hyper-V using Commvault.

Hello,we have many vCloud Hypervisor in our environment.We have one Master Org Hypervisor and all other vCloud Hypervisor are created with “Create Org Account” then it is referenced to the master.For some reason, I dont know why, 3 of our vCloud Hypervisors lost the reference to the Master Org Hypervisor and backup was not running anymore.I found no way to reconnect the vCloud Hypervisors to the Org Master. Workaround solution was to create Hypervisor new with other name and during creation you can connect to Master. So my question is, is there a possibility to recreate the connection to the Org Master vCloud for existing vCloud Hypervisor. So I only found it when you create a new one. Editing is for this not possible. Via API I did not found anything which is working.Thanks & BRMarcel 

HI ALL,I was trying to restore a windows server to Azure using the virtualize me. I have taken block level backup for source physical windows server. When I initiated the restore, i get below error.  I don’t get any option to define disk size at destination. Below are the option that I have selected while initiating the Virtualize me : Any suggestion from anyone on what I’m missing !!

Good day guysI hope you are wellwe have a VM that is not getting backed up fully at all.The only thing that is getting backed up fully is the file server only.I don’t see any issues with the VM. Does not show any error of consolidating the VM etcwill migrating to another datastore help with this kind of error ?we are using vmware vsphere as our virtual infrastructureerror message-ZA-VM-LENEL02\[Pure_VMH_Cluster_Datastore04] ZA-VM-LENEL02/ZA-VM-LENEL02-000005.vmdk Failed Failed to collect disk block information, ZA-VM-LENEL02\[Pure_VMH_Cluster_Datastore04] ZA-VM-LENEL02/ZA-VM-LENEL02_1-000005.vmdk Failed Failed to collect disk block information, ZA-VM-LENEL02\[Pure_VMH_Cluster_Datastore04] ZA-VM-LENEL02/ZA-VM-LENEL02_2-000005.vmdk Failed Failed to collect disk block information, ZA-VM-LENEL02\[Pure_VMH_Cluster_Datastore04] ZA-VM-LENEL02/ZA-VM-LENEL02_3-000005.vmdk Failed Failed to collect disk block information

Hi all, my task is to deploy multiple VSA proxies. Since I do this for the first time I can not really imagine all caveats and pitfalls that can be hidden.The right procedure should be:install Windows or Linux machine (physical or virtual) install VSA module during Commvault package installation (also specify Commserve server during installation) be sure that required ports are open on the newly created VSA proxyThere is a cuple of questions what to do next:is it necessary to create any Vcenter permissions/roles (as per video https://kb.commvault.com/article/63239 )? how to enable using this newly created VSA proxy? Any contributions will be much appreciated!

We want to get Zabbix alerts which can send Incidents in SNOW for only backup failures of Virtual machine in Commvault, how can i achieve this.

I have 2 FREL’s in my environment and we use this FREL as VSA proxies as well to share the load between other 2 VSA proxies. After upgrading this FREL’s to 11.28.107, we see VM backups fails with the error “The virtual machine [] did not pass the disk size validation. If this issue persists, please contact your vendor support hotline”.I have VCenter level configuration for VM backups and I have 7-8 Subclient and each subclient have 15-20 VM’s in it.When the backup get triggers for this subclient as per schedule, at least 6-7 VM’s fails with this disk size validation issue. Once this VM’s fails, I re trigger them one by one and backup completes without and issue.Can someone tell me, what can be done to resolve this issue completely.

We're encountering a recurring issue related to CBT (Changed Block Tracking) in our VMware environment with Commvault (version 11.36).After incremental backups fail or complete with CBT-related warnings, any subsequent restore of the affected VMs results in machines that fail to boot — only a black screen with a blinking cursor is shown after powering them on.In addition, Guest File Restores are no longer possible for these VMs. Attempting to browse the file system results in the following error:Failed to get items for volume The original VMs continue to run and restart without any issues.The problem affects multiple servers, not just a single system.The issue is resolved after performing a full backup — restores (including guest file restores) then work as expected again.Example error mess

Hi, I am trying to restore a vmdk and attach it to the VM. Was able to do it successfully on the web console.  I also downloaded the EQUIVALENT API.  How do I use the “EQUIVALENT API” for future restores  without using the web console ?I (preferably) want to use REST, but I couldn’t find the endpoint to run this restore. Does anybody know what the endpoint is ? Thanks in adavance!

We are planning to migrate from VMware to Hyper-V platform. In VMware we have the option to choose transport mode on the sub-client level but in Hyper-V i don’t see this option. We have approx. 1000 VMs to backup after migration. In VMware we have kept dedicated VSA proxies to associate with particular ESX host for Hot Add backups. Could we do similar set up for Hyper-V, instead of using Hyper-V node as a proxy use bunch of VMs acting as VSA proxy which will be associated to particular Hyper-V node for Hot Add backups. 

Hello, during the VSA Backup, the following error appears by some virtual machines: “Timeout waiting for HotAdd Mutex, VDDK Deadlock encountered”The backup job completes with one or more errors. The VM’s with the above error are not backed up, while the VM’s w/o the above error are backed up successfully.HotAdd Mode is in use. What can be done done to fix this?Best regards, Aleksandra

Helo team,Hello team,I have a problem when configuring Oracle Linux virtual manager, I have created a proxy (VSA) with Oracle Linux 8.5 OS but when I select the access node for the proxy it does not come out.Additional information proxy using VM installed in OLVM itself.Is there a requirement that is missing

I seem to have multiple servers that only show the C drive when doing a guest file restore. If I mount a whole disk I can see all the others. I have other servers in the same backup Plan that work fine, have very similar servers that work fine, I can’t tell why it isn’t showing. Anyone had this? I’ve logged a ticket but not much of a response so far

We have multiple Hyper-V VM having SAN LUN mounted, the Microsoft itself not provide the feature to take snapshot of VM if SAN LUN mounted on it.Please share the way to take backup and restore of that VM on commvault.

We have configure Hyper-v vm backup to Tape now there was one requets from client to take monthly backups to Disk for those VM.Since we can not create another sublclient for same VM backup, we created another backup setup then a deault subclien was used with Storage to disk policy for same VM.Now, my VM licenses are counted twice, why is it so and if there is any other way acheive my target? 

Hi, here a question for one of my customers,Is there a way to change the output that is sent to the Custom Attributes in the VM after the backup job, Attribute = Backup Status, Value = Backup Job ID [43915] Client: [vcapps], Backup Set: [defaultBackupSet], Subclient: [VMs With Validation] Parent Backup Job ID [43901]  Example , Job ID follow by the Subclient ? Thank you

Hi, i believe that there is away to copy or make a shadow of a specific VM from comser to another one like active and passive, but unfortunately i don’t know how to perform that task.  

Are there any workaround to migrate from VMware to OLVM? CV can migrate from VMware to Oracle VM/OpenStack and migrate from Oracle VM to Red Hat Virtualization (OLVM). Thank you.
