Firewall Ports for Hyper-V Backup & Restore

We want to migrate VMs from Vmware to Hyper-V using Commvault. The Hyper-V will be a cluster with SAN storage to store the Cluster files. The Hyper-V cluster will be hardened with Windows Firewall rules. What are the ports to be allowed for allowing Restore of VM from VMware to Hyper-V and Backups of Hyper-V VMs on Proxy.

Do we have any options to take Snapshot backups for Clustered Servers?

Hi All,We have many clustered servers from VMWare and we are taking the backups for it with File System iDA.As we all know that Snapshot operation is not supported for Servers from VMWare having shared disks.We have an alternate option from VMWare to take snapshot that, making the shared disks as independent disks.Do we have any alternate options to take the Virtual Server Backup for the servers from VMware with Shared disks? Thanks in Advance.Warm Regards,Sravan Kondeti

Migration from Hyper-V Acronis backup to VMware

Hi Everybody,I have a question about migration of Hyper-V virtual maschines that are backed up via Acronis Cloud. We want to restore this machines from the Acronis backup directly to our vCenter with Commvault.Is this possible and how to realize it?For my understanding I have to install the Acronis virtual machine agent and the Commvault virtual machine agent on the same vCenter. The Acronis agent is needed to restore and migrate the backed up virtual machines directly to the vCenter and the Commvault virtual machine agent is needed for the backup of the virtual machines with Commvault.But is this possible to install both agents on the same vCenter or I’m completely on the wrong way?Best Regards

MSGID 0x0e0000f4 failed to initalize browse request, check browse.log on commserve for more details.

Hi,When trying to restore off tapes from 4 years ago, we get the following message: MSGID 0x0e0000f4 failed to initalize browse request, check browse.log on commserve for more details. The last 2 restores we can do a browse and restore from however nothing from the time period of 4 years ago. The last 2 weekly’s (30th of August and 3rd of August) we can browse it no problem. However the 16th of August errors the same as the error from 4 years ago. It seems to be random.Lost and not sure what to do.RegardsMuhammed

VM Migration using CV

Hello Team,In our environment we have are planning to a VM migration from one Vcenter to the other one.I am thinking of commvault instead of Veeam application to perform migration.In commvault thinking of using VM replication option to migrate VM from source to destination vcenter with periodic replication. Once replication is completed I can stop and continue services using destination vcenter.Please suggest, if its good to go or do we have any other option to perform the migration.

Dedicated Interface Paring (DIP) for VMware backup, and HyperScaleX as target

Good day!We have a requirement to route VMware backup over the dedicated VMkernel network on ESXI hosts. Unfortunately, the CommVault solution does not have a proper method to route VMware backup traffic over 902 (NFC) to HyperscaleX. If I’m correct the “Dedicated Interface Paring (DIP)” will not work for the VMware backup type.  Please let me know if there are some improvements made in the latest Version to manage VMware backup traffic using DIP.Below are the environment details, IP, and names being just dummy, curious to know if it will work if I use a host file entry to route traffic over a dedicated VMkernel network. Commserve:   IP and NameMGMT -→ 192.168.10.10 cs01.test.comBackup -→ 10.0.8.10HyperScaleX:  Network label, IP and Name. Three node HSX cluster. Bond1 has sub interfaces. Bond1.1 → CS-Reg → 192.168.10.11 HSX01.test.com, 192.168.10.12 HSX02.test.com, 192.168.10.12 HSX03.test.com → This has DNS entry.Bond1.2 → Data Protection 10.0.8.11, 10.0.8.12, 10.0.8.13Bond2 → Storage

Auto-Recovery Conversion from VMware to Azure AVS

Good Day Community,Few questions regarding Auto Recovery from VMware to Azure AVS (Azure VMware Solution).First, I do not see clearly on the documentation site if Auto-Recovery supports VMware to AVS replication (although it is VMware to Vmware (theoretically), I’d still like to validate if it is supported.Second, will the restore still be an incremental restore.Thisrd, if the customer decides to go with Auto-Recovery between VMware and standard Azure VMs instead of AVS, will the restore still be an incremental restore.Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

Cannot find equivalent of backupset vm filters in Command Center

We’ve done a big hardware refresh and are migrating all our VMs to a new Virtual Center. Our backup environment is not changing at this time so all the storage, media agents etc are all set up and happy already.I thought I’d take the opportunity to “modernise” our backups at the same time, starting to use plans instead of storage and schedule policies and hopefully get to the point where we can largely leave the java console behind and use the Command Center. Our Commvault environment is very mature (20 years) and a lot of work has gone into keeping it in good shape over the years, through many upgrades and hardware refreshes. It works beautifully. So I am pretty old school and very familiar with the old console. Not loving plans if I’m honest, we have two on prem blocks of storage and one cloud library, and we tend to keep everything on the same retention periods. We do use a lot of different schedules so I’m finding the concept where it creates a whole new storage policy for every sc

what creates cv-config namespace and is it required

Our container SME noticed that there was a new namespace created a couple days ago which appears “empty” for the most part. This page talks about it but sort of implies it requires manual steps to set up.Nobody did anything to push this into the cluster, and, we protect 4 distinct clusters with cvlt yet only one of them has this new namespace in it. All 4 are backing up just fine (all namespaces that is) so, what is it and why does it appear to be randomly created in our clusters?thanks!

Moving data back from hot storage to archive manually

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, execute the workflow again and select the Move back data from Hot to Archive option when prompted. Data will be deleted from the cvshadowcopy-do
