vCenter Backup

Hi,
we have 2 vCenter and we use the vCenter backup from commvault.

Most of the VMs moved from vmcbdf01 to vcenter1.
But in the client computer groups i see them on both as active.

But why when they are only hostet on vcenter1. Why are the VMs active on vmcbdf01?
I have retired the client on vmcbdf01 but then he uninstalled the agent of the client when there was it installed :-(

Now some clients are twice in my list.

One (with only the SQL backup) is hostet on vmcbdf01.
The other one with VMInstance is hostet on vcenter1.
Why that?
What means the VMInstance?
I backup it with the vCenter backup. Is this a twice backup now?
How does the VMInstance come into being? That wasn't the case before.

Regards
Dennis

Hi @Dennis ,

It looks like the old one is V1 Indexing and the new one is V2 Indexing.

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.20/vm_centric_operations_for_virtual_server_agent_with_vmware_vsa_v2.html

It depends if you want to keep your V1 Indexing Backups.

So I would recommend you log a case with Support so we can check and confirm.

Best Regards,

Sebastien
