Viewing MSDP disk reports
The NetBackup disk reports include information about the disk pools, disk storage units, disk logs, images that are stored on disk media, and storage capacity.
Table: Disk reports describes the disk reports available.
Table: Disk reports
Report | Description |
---|---|
Images on Disk | The Images on Disk report generates the image list present on the disk storage units that are connected to the media server. The report is a subset of the Images on Media report; it shows only disk-specific columns. The report provides a summary of the storage unit contents. If a disk becomes bad or if a media server crashes, this report can let you know what data is lost. |
Disk Logs | The Disk Logs report displays the media errors or the informational messages that are recorded in the NetBackup error catalog. The report is a subset of the Media Logs report; it shows only disk-specific columns. The report also includes information about deduplicated data integrity checking. See About MSDP data integrity checking. Either PureDisk or Veritas Deduplication Engine in the description identifies a deduplication message. The identifiers are generic because the deduplication engine does not know which application consumes its resources. NetBackup and Veritas Backup Exec are Veritas applications that use deduplication. |
Disk Storage Unit Status | The Disk Storage Unit Status report displays the state of disk storage units in the current NetBackup configuration. For disk pool capacity, see the disk pools window in Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools. Multiple storage units can point to the same disk pool. When the report query is by storage unit, the report counts the capacity of disk pool storage multiple times. |
Disk Pool Status | The Disk Pool Status report displays the state of disk pool and usage information. This report displays only when a license that enables NetBackup disk features is installed. |
To view disk reports
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Reports > Disk Reports.
- Select the name of a disk report.
- In the right pane, select the report settings.
- Click Run Report.
