Hi
To show the VM as a client, please perform the below steps:
From the CommCell Console ribbon, click the Tools tab, and then click User Preferences.
Click the Client Computer Filter tab.
Select the Show Virtual Machines check box.
Click OK.
The steps are documented here: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/show_virtual_machines_in_client_computers_list.html

Hi
Showing Virtual Machines option should show the VM Clients in the CommCell Console under “Client Computers”. - If they don’t show, can you refresh the GUI and check again? - They will show with their VM name and should show “Virtual Server” Instance under the client.
You can Right Click > View > Backup History to see the VM backup Jobs for the VM.
If the VM does not show; Can you check under Client Computer Groups, Selecting the Group for the vCenter/Hypervisor Client and see if they show there?

Not work..
My question is, when I go to tool and user preference then client computer filter tab and check mark show virtual machine. then only shown few virtual systems in which CommVault agent installed, rest of other virtual system is not showing under the vCenter tab.
Why?

Hi
Can you share some screenshots of what you’re seeing here please? - Have you run a backup of the VM you’re trying to locate in the CommCell here?
With VSA backups we do not “install” software inside the VM for a standard streaming backup. - You will/should see “Virtual Server” under the VM, this is the instance under which the VM Backup Jobs are tracked.
