Hello Commvault community,

I would like to talk about “Virtual Machine(s) has been decommissioned” alerts.

I see that Commvault can understand when a VM is decommissioned.

So, in order to safe a Commvault license for this decommissioned VM, I need to manual remove it from VM group or Commvault can handle that automatically?

Moreover, it is also necessary to delete the history / previous VM backup jobs (for this decommissioned VM), so stop to consume Commvault VM license?


Best regards,
Nikos

Hi @Nikos.Kyrm ,

Whenever the VM is decommissioned you need to run fullback against the subclient where the VM was discovered to re calculate the license usage.

Jobs related to the decommissioned VM will be automatically aged and pruned based on the retention set.

Great, I can confirm that in order to stop consuming Commvault VM license for decommissioned VM’s, must manual remove decommissioned VM’s from VM group first!

After next synth-full backup, you will see the reduction of Virtual Operating Instances.

Best regards,
Nikos
