Currently, the following parameters are available in the Report Scope dialog box.
Table: Report Scope parameters
Parameter | Description | Remark |
|---|---|---|
Host Groups | The report can be generated for one or more Host Groups. | For more details on the Report Scope dialog box, see IT Analytics User Guide > Generate and maintain reports > Report Scope section. |
All Hosts | This report can be generated for one or more the Backup Servers as Hosts from the list. | |
For Hosts=All Backup Servers | One or more Backup Servers can be selected from this scope to run the report for all Clients and Polices corresponding to the Backup Server(s). | For example: Click Modify. Expand All Backup Servers > Primary Server (if any) > Policies or Clients. Select any node. |
Servers = All Data Domain Servers | Not valid for this report. | |
Attributes | The report can be filtered on specific Host Attributes associated with backup Host(s). |
Note:
If you select multiple conditions in Report Scope dialog box, IT Analytics displays collective data with the selected criteria from the database using AND condition.
The following are the scenarios in which the report will be displayed based on the criteria selected in Report Scope dialog box.
Scenario 1 - All Hosts: If any one or more than one Backup Server as Host is selected from parent All Hosts, the data is displayed for the selected Host in the node.
Scenario 2 - All-Backup-Server-Host-Group: You have a host group named as All-Backup-Server-Host-Group which is the parent node. Further, this All-Backup-Server-Host-Group node has Two Backup Servers asServer1andServer2. If you have selected All-Backup-Server-Host-Group, which is the parent node, then the data in the report will be displayed for Server1 and Server2, which are the Backup Servers.
Scenario 3 - All Backup Servers:
If All Backup Server node is selected, the data is displayed of the clients.
If any one or more than one Clients from All Backup Server node is selected, the data is displayed of the selected Client(s).
If any one or more than one Policies from All Backup Server node is selected, the data is displayed of the selected Policy(s).
Scenario 4 - Attributes: If any one or more than one Attributes is selected from the Report Scope dialog box, the data is displayed of all Backup Hosts for the selected Attribute.
Scenario 5 All Data Domain: This is invalid selection as this report is generated only based on Backup Host(s).
This report lists the Storage Lifecycle Policy (SLP) status for NetBackup jobs, which can be used as an overview of the health of the SLPs for each NetBackup Primary Server.
Using this report's completion statistics, you can determine if the SLP is performing according to schedule, if additional copies have been made, and also if the backlog is increasing. These statistics enable you to identify issues associated with the processing of SLPs.
Table: NetBackup SLP Status
Column name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Primary Server |
This is where the SLP is located. Click the link to drill down to the SLP Status by SLP report. This column lists all the primary servers that have associated SLPs. An SLP may be on the origin primary server or on any of the destination primary servers (in the case of duplication to a remote primary. |
|
Oldest Unfinished Image |
The oldest image that is not SLP-complete for any SLP on the associated primary server. This represents the image end date and time, which can be used to identify possible SLP bottlenecks. The SLP state <> 3 (complete). |
|
# Clients |
Total unique clients backed up by the SLP. If a client is backed up more than once by an SLP, the client is only counted once. |
|
# Existing Images |
The total number of images for SLPs on the associated primary server. This includes both SLP complete and incomplete images. |
|
Images % SLP Complete |
Percentage of images that are SLP complete on the primary server. |
|
Images SLP Complete |
Number of images that are SLP complete on the primary server. |
|
Images Not SLP Complete |
Number of images that are not SLP complete on the primary server. |
|
# Expected Copies |
Total number of image copies for SLPs on the primary includes both complete and incomplete copies. |
|
% Copy Complete |
Percentage of completed copies for SLPs on the selected primary server. |
|
Copies Completed |
Number of completed copies for SLPs on the selected primary server. |
|
Copies Not Complete |
Number of incomplete copies for SLPs on the selected primary server. |
|
Total Expected Size |
This value represents the total for all copies for all SLPs. Total Expected Size for all copies = (Number of copies for SLPs) * (backup copy size for all SLPs) Note: The total expected size for all copies is a front-end size and is derived from the number of copies multiplied by the size of the backup copy. The effects of deduplication, compression, or optimized deduplication on the total expected size are not considered in the SLP reports. |
|
Completed Copy Size % |
Percentage of completed copy size for SLPs on the selected primary server. The Completed Copy Size is a front-end size. The effects of deduplication, compression, or optimized deduplication on completed copy size are not considered in the SLP reports. |
|
Completed Copy Size |
Aggregate size of all the completed copies in the database for the SLP and the specific SLP destination. This value is calculated as: (Completed Copy Count for the specific SLP) x (Size of backup copy for the specific SLP). |
|
Remaining Copy Size |
Aggregate size of all remaining copies that are to be created for the specific SLP and image on the selected primary server. This value is calculated as: (Remaining Copy Count) x (Size of Backup Copy1). |
