Virtualization and Containers

Hi all,One of our customers is backing up a Red Hat OpenShift environment with Commvault. Using CV 11.40.xxI have some employees of this company in my training, and one of the guys asked me whether it is possible to restore a cluster to a DR site with a different cluster ID. They are having trouble with the Cluster ID, that's what I understood. SInce I have no experience at all with Open Shift, can anybody shine a light onn this? Thanks and kind regards,Henk

Hello Commvault Community,  I create a new topic because I don’t know if I will get an answer - it has already been resolved.Same topic as here, but for SP20:   There is a logon failure during configuring the Red Hat Virtualization pseudo client.Client proxy connects to olvm manager via http. The latest version of the manager doesn;t support such a connection. You have the opportunity to find out if such a patch is available for SP20 or if we need to write to Commvault support to write such a fix for SP20. Thanks&Regards,Kamil

Hi All,Is there any way I can restore full virtual machine to a virtual access node if it is only access node in particular VMware environment. Because all Commvault services on this access node don’t start up after upgrading its software version to 11.32.69.  Thank you.

HiWe have different subclients marked as Plus or Basic - all depending om retention.Some of the basic subclient don’t have any servers (at this time) so the jobs are marked as failed. Is there any option to get this job marked at completed with errors / completed - or don’t run the job when there is no vm’s 

Hi AllOvirt the Source project for OLVM is defaulting Keycloack as the Default Authentication Provider, so far Commvault doesn’t support it officially is there any workaround? or is the support coming soon? thanks 

Hello fellow Commvaulters, I hope someone can help.  We had a case recently raised with Commvault where data that was used to restore data from Azure Archive to Hot Storage.  However even though the job completed months ago, it was noticed by our Cloud Services Team that the data was still sitting in Hot Tier Storage which was costing a premium.  Commvault’s documentation states the below.  However does anyone know how we can empty this container manually? Second question is the below states “Move back data from Hot to Archive”.  Where is this option on the workflow?  I couldn’t see it?  There is an option to tick “Auto-archive recalled files on restore job completion”.  This was ticked for our recall, but still the data remained in Hot Tier.  Surely this should not be the case? ThanksTonyQ If you execute the workflow with backup job as input, ex

Hi all,Is there a way to hide some types of restores like “Live Mount and Live Recovery” in Command Center for a user?

Hi All, GreetingsWe have below Setup where Ovirt is integrated with Commvault. Commvault Proxy Server Version--11.32Commserve---11.32.28oVirt ---4.3.10.4-1.el7 We are facing problem for VM which are having more then two disks, as VSA Proxy server is not allowing to add the 3rd Disk. In our setup VSA proxy server is having only one disk. We are unable to add more then 3 disks to VSA proxy server. Is it a bug? regardsArup

what happened if we expand disk in our vm that covered on commvault? do i have to reconfigure on commvault app again? or it still can backup without any impact?Thank you

Hi all!  From time to time one (randomly) of our six VSAs stop during backup and is marked as “Invalid” in VMWare.  Here is the error on VMWare side :  And the result is that I have to remove the VSA from Inventory then add it again so I can detach .vmdk from other VMs before I can restart the VSA : Any idea about what could be the cause? 

While attempting to initiate backup procedures, I observed that while I could back up the entire virtual machine (VM), I encountered difficulty in selecting specific files and folders when creating the VM group.In my Azure Stack HCI environment, VMs are deployed, and my objective is to exclusively back up files and folders rather than the entire VM. Please refer to the image below for context.We have followed this document foradding the HCI environment. https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/adding_azure_stack_hci_hypervisor.htmlCould you kindly provide guidance on whether it's possible to back up only files and folders within VMs which are on Azure stack hci ? If so, could you please provide the necessary documentation for configuring this feature?

We have few VM’s with Thick Lun Provisioning but the actual size of the VM is very small.Let’s say Provisioned capacity is 7TB.But the read size of the VM is 1TB.Does commvault consider 7TB or 1TB of License? 

Hi team,I need a recommendation for our vmware backups.Our situation is as follows;Definition 1: With DefaultBackupSet, we back up approximately 1000 VMs with a large number of subclients every day with incr and on weekends with Synthetic Full.Definition 2: With another BackupSet, we are backing up VMs with 1 tag in Vcenter every Friday. There are about 2500 VMs. Jobs work as incr on Friday, we can't run full because backup takes too long. We shorten the time by taking incr and Synthetic Full works after the subclient is finished.Both types of backup are done with NBD, not suitable for our SAN and Hot-add environment.We use 10 virtual proxies in total.Since backups working with Definition 2 start incr, if it has a new VM tag, it automatically converts to Full. If there is a VM backed up with both definitions, it continues as Incr.Now the config made here may be wrong, but I need this, what do you recommend?- As in Definiti

Hi Team, Is it possible to cross restore from RHEV to Vmware? Best Regards.

Has anyone seen any roadmap or heard anyting from commvault regarding more restore options for vCloud director?We do miss the option of  Attaching disks to an existing virtual machine

I am trying to configure backups for ca-west-1 ( calgery) region which we recently expanded our AWS infra in the Canada region.unfortunately I cant see the instances from region shows up in the Commvault console.I reached my AM to know more above it , but its still yet to reach internal teams and get resonpse but I know the documentation did not mentioned the region in the supported list yet.By any change any of you had similar need and got it fixed with a patch or addtional key setting ? 

Hello I need to provide an isolated/test environment (with IP masquerading etc.) to perform set-of-VMs restores on regular basis (like Veeam SureBackup) For Command Center I can use Auto-Recovery feature with “Test Failover” option but as far as I can see we can only use Live Mount (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.38/essential/testing_failover_for_periodic_replication_group.html)How to perform such isolated & automated test with regular streaming restores instead of Live Mounts? Production/source VMs should remain online and untouched during the test. I am aware that I can achieve something like this with old-fashioned Virtual Lab managed by deprecated CommCell Console 

Hello!I am new to comvault and currently working on a project to backup our VMs. As I have been slowly adding VM backups I have noticed that the current capacity is going up as it should and we are currently at 19.8TB out of 23TB and that is what we are licensed in backup and recovery. I got an alert saying we are over 80% utilization so I went in a retired and then deleted a few of the VMs that I had done but the capacity hasn’t gone down. How to I delete the backups that were done for those VMs or will it eventually remove the data? Also I noticed on the dashboard the the current capacity is 23TB but the total disk storage space next to is it 32TB and we are only using 7TB. What is the difference between capacity and storage space? 

Hi there, we’ve taken over an environment we did not install, and the client’s Hyper-V servers all appear to have the media agent role installed, and appear under the list of media agents, with disk libraries having mount points prepended with “IP” in front of the drive path.  I’ve never seen this before - and we don’t use Hyper-V in our other environments.  My guess is that they deployed the media agent in error.  Can someone running Hyper-V perhaps confirm for me please?  Thanks, Ray

Dears,,I created a new linux virtual machine and installed the Commvault Virtual Server package on it in order to use it as a VSA Access Node for our vCenter environment. However, the server does not appear as an available Access Node, and I am unable to use it for VMware backups. 

Can we configure 1 VCenter in 2 different commServe?The Subclients that backup are different in 2 Commserve’s and proxy’sWill the Backups run smooth?Do we anticipate any ambiguity? 

Hi We have two site main DC and DR site and I want to replicate a vm from DC to DR and we have mediaagent on both site.What is happening right now is when replication happen it first take backup (dedupe) and then restore from backup to DR site and while restoring process full vm original size and it is choking the bandwidthThen i take the call with support and he suggested to check the “replicate using secondary copy option” and choose DR mediaagent as storage in secondary copyNow when replication trigger it first take backup in main DC site then aux copy trigger from DC  to DR site then replication happen but it still restoring the vm from main DC not DR. Can anyone help here?

If we use the additional setting bEnableAWSOptimizedBackupVolume=0, are there any restrictions regarding using CBT with AWS?Thanks in advance.
