i am trying to restore a vm in aws to on-premise, but i am not able to see the infrastructure in the vmware. discovery gives error, what is needed to be able to do a restore of this kind?

Hello everyone,I'm asking this question because I haven't found any results on this subject.Is there any functionality for archiving virtual servers in a Nutanix AHV + Commvault infrastructure?For example, if I have cold storage, I right-click on the vm in commvault and then archive.Best regards,Have a nice day Max

Hi All,We have a VM backup with (VMware) VSA Snap. The same job was copied to secondary which was in Azure.Our VSA was later removed as there is no dependency on it.We are trying to restore few Guest Files from the VM backup from the secondary copy with Azure Media Agent and Library, but the restore is failing saying that the Old VSA was unable to communicate.Not sure why it is asking this way, even we are browsing it from Cloud MA which is having VSA installed on it.Our VM was a Windows Server, Old VSA is Windows and new MA/VSA is Linux.Any suggestions or idea, why it is taking it even we are giving other MA/VSA? Thanks in Advance.. Warm Regards,Sravan Kondeti

Hi all, one short question regarding hyper-v data reader and auxcopy to tape.  When i´m using 10 Data readers during the vsa backup job and i would like to copy this job to tape did commvault user 1 Stream because its only one backup job or did commvault use 10 streams for the auxcopy.  As i know for vmware i must take the vsa v2 agent to get multi streams for auxcopy but regarding hyper-v  maybe you can give me an quick hint. Thanks

Hi all, Trying to recovery my SLES file server backup as a Vmware virtual machine but I am getting faced with these errors. I have already done the 1 touch recovery backup.  Any tips on where I can start looking? Also, what network configurations should I use if I want to recover this without disrupting my production network?   

Hello All,  I am facing an issue that is come from time to time, it happened in my DR site, however I observed that once scheduled backup started it been in running status till next day morning with no progress, till I force susbended the job and resume again it will work and completed successfully. kindly advise if the same issue might happened to you . thank you all 

Hi Commvault Team,  The Application-Aware Backup is supported for the Microsoft Azure stack hub? Thanks,Amr

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,I am unable of restoring a full virtual machine from Nutanix AHV using Command Center.Restoring a Full VM from vCenter is working however.Restoring the VM from AHV using the Commcell Console is also working.Problem was noticed in version 11.34.20. I upgraded today to version 11.34.27. That is no solution.Anyone any idea how to solve this?Regards,Bart

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 https://documentation.commvault.com/11.38/expert/creating_restore_as_lab_policy_for_vmware.html, but I want to follow brand new Command Center ;) Any thoughts or findings will be appreciated. Kind regards,eMF   

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? 

Hello All I’m searching for the workflow to migrate sub-clients from vCenter to vCloud director 

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.

 Just abit baffled by how to create backup plan for vm groups called domain controllers . we need to have daily backup with retention period of 35 days and also vm group of same machines run every month with retention of 365 days . i created daily incremental backup Plan  as well as monthly incremental plan , but dont know how add the vm group to both or is there any other way . Thanks  ( please see below table). The enviroment is vmware virtualization  Service/System  Historical Period  Recovery Point  Data Retention  Recovery Time  Domain Controllers  0 to 35 days  24 hours  35 days  Next business day  Domain Controllers  35 to 365 days  1 month  365 days  3 business days 

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 everyoneI’m working on CVLT backup infrastructure to protect Azure VM.From Azure Hypervisor I’m not able to see all the VM just a subset. Speaking with customer Azure team seems that all the parameters are correctly configured (from azure side).What i can check ?Thansk for help !Gianluca

Can we apply vm disk filters on Intellisnap jobs Also how do I validate that the filtering is being applied; do I have to run a syn full or full first before it gets applied? I am trying to filter a disk out as we are already backing it via file system it resides on a data store I am choosing VMDK Name/Pattern option[DatastoreA]*/*Test_P01_1.vmdk 

Hello everyone,I’m currently testing VM replication from Azure to Azure (CS SW 11.32)I’d like to know if leaving “Auto” in the Virtual Network setting in the Recovery Target, preserve the same network of the source vms to the replicated vms in case of planned/unplanned failover.Thanks and regards

An endpoint to backup an entire esxi datastore?

dear,I need your support, the client needs a report of the last 3 months of a survey of VM licenses, he wants to know how much license he consumes per month, is there any way to get this survey of licenses ? because by default we can only see the current statuses

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 Experts,I am new to IntelliSnap. What I got to understand after reading is that with IntelliSnap based VM backup,A snapshot of the VM at vCenter level will be taken as well as a snapshot of the whole VMDK disk at the storage level. Then VM snapshot at vCenter will be deleted. The VMDK luns need to be zoned and assigned to physical media agent. Question: How will this array-based snapshot be assigned to MA? Then the data from the snapshot goes to MA to the storage. Question: It requires separate policy, right? The backup process is LAN-free and over SAN only. Right?Then how does the restore work? Is it also LAN-free and over SAN?  Thanks ahead. Kindly help me.Quazi Ashfaq
