IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) Job Details Report

Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. They are not available in search results.

Explore your data center using IT Analytics customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. Use Search to find reports, templates and dashboards across the portal.

Use the Reports tab to examine the IT Analytics catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. The main report is located here:

Column name

Description

Session ID

Session number; this session number will correspond to the activity log messages generated for this virtual machine.

Entity

The name of the proxy target on whose behalf the activity was performed. Proxy node agent for a BACKUP or RESTORE activity.

Sub Entity

VMware vSphere display name of the virtual machine being backed up or restored.

Activity Details

Context for the type of operation. All Data Protection for VMware records will display a value of VMware.

Activity Type

Type of activity such as for backup and restore of virtual environments. Valid values include:

Incremental Forever - Incremental: The backup was an incremental forever backup, for example, only incremental changes since the last backup of the virtual machine were captured in the backup.

Incremental Forever - Full: The backup requested was for a full backup of the virtual machine or the backup requested was an incremental forever backup but the entire (full) virtual machine was captured in the backup. This could be because this was the first backup for the virtual machine, the virtual machine is not capable of tracking incremental changes (for example legacy VMware hardware version), or there was an error encountered in the VMware change block tracking (CBT) mechanism which necessitated a full backup.

Periodic Full - Incremental: The backup was a legacy incremental backup, for example, only incremental changes since the last backup of the virtual machine were captured in the backup

Periodic Full - Full: The backup was a legacy full backup.

Start Date

Backup start date and time for the virtual machine.

Finish Date

Backup finish date and time for the virtual machine.

Kilobytes

Number of bytes sent transferred to/from the Tivoli Storage Manager Server for a virtual machine backup or restore operation. For backup operations, this number represents the amount of data sent to the Tivoli Storage Manager Server after any data reduction techniques have been applied to the data, e.g., client-side deduplication and/or compression.

Completion Code

This is the return code for the operation as reported in the activity log. For a successful backup or restore, this value will be 0.
