Track protected data size on your primary servers
The Usage reporting application displays the primary servers that are configured for capacity licensing and their respective consumption details. This reporting provides the following benefits:
Ability to plan for capacity licensing.
On a weekly basis, NetBackup gathers and reports usage and trend information.
The nbdeployutil utility has scheduled runs to gather data for the report (enabled by default).
A link to the Veritas NetInsights Console. The Usage Insights tool within the NetInsights Console tool NetBackup customers to proactively manage their license use through near real-time visibility of consumption patterns.
Reporting is done for all policy types that are used for data protection.
NetBackup automatically collects data for the usage reporting, provided the following requirements are met:
The primary servers (or primary servers) are at NetBackup 8.1.2 or later.
You use capacity licensing.
You use automatic, scheduled reports. If you manually generate capacity license reports, the data does not display in the usage report in the NetBackup web UI.
The following file exists:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/var/global/incremental/Capacity_Trend.outWindows:
install_path\var\global\incremental\Capacity_Trend.outThe Usage tab displays an error if the backup data is not available. Or, if the usage report is not generated (file does not exist).
If you want one of your primary servers to gather usage reporting data for other remote primary servers, additional configuration is required. You must create a trust relationship between the primary servers. You must also add the local primary server (where you plan to run nbdeployutil) to the list on each remote primary server.
Details on capacity licensing, scheduling, and options for capacity licensing reports.
See Scheduling capacity licensing reports.Veritas Usage Insights Getting Started Guide. Details on how to use Usage Insights to manage your NetBackup deployment and licensing. This tool provides accurate, near real-time reporting for the total amount of data that is backed up.
