Commvault error during backup | CreateIndex

If you are running a MA that was upgraded/updated recently to Commvault V11 then you can exeperience the following error:

        Index processing on MediaAgent [MA name] failed due to a CreateIndex processing error.    

To fix the above error, run a full backup (not synthetic full) of the subclient. 

NetApp OnCommand Unified Manager import OVF template invalid value false specified for property org.linuxdistx.IPV6Auto

If you experience errors while deploying the OCUM OVA and you experience errors like below then it is recommended to download the OVA again and use a different browser to perform the VM deployment. You can also try deploying the OVA to a different ESX host.

.import OVF template invalid value false specified for property org.linuxdistx.IPV6Auto 


Thanks. If anyone else has this issue then try using the Vmware Web Client (Flash)
