From the monitor’s user interface, you can abort a backup, restore, or media
management session or respond to “mount” requests.
If you make use of the Manager-of-Managers, you can monitor sessions of multiple
cells simultaneously from one user interface.
Reporting and notification
Data Protector reporting represents a powerful, customizable, and flexible tool for
managing and planning your backup environment. Data Protector has always had
a rich set of built-in reports that system administrators have relied upon to manage
Cell Managers. IT Service Providers now can use these same reports to demonstrate
data protection SLA compliance. Built-in reports that are especially relevant to service
level management include:
• Inventory/Status Reports such as the
host_not_conf
report, which contains
information about unprotected systems, the
dl_sched
report, which lists all
scheduled backups, object copy, and object consolidation as well as the
media_list
report, which is a media inventory report.
• Capacity Utilization Reports such as the
licensing
report, which is a Data
Protector license utilization report, and the
dev_unused
report, which lists devices
that are currently not used for backup, object copy, or object consolidation and
are consequently available.
• Problem Reports such as the
session_statistics
report, which consists of
information about failed backup, copy, and consolidation sessions. An
administrator can receive an hourly, daily, or weekly E-mail report on failed jobs
and the reasons for failure.
The notification and reporting capabilities that have always been part of the Cell
Manager (and that have been extended significantly from earlier versions) also allow
you to:
• Choose from numerous pre-configured reports (including, but not limited to, reports
such as sessions in a specific time frame, IDB reports, and device usage report)
• Specify your own parameters for those reports (such as time frames, backup,
copy, and consolidation specifications, and groups of backups)
• Select from various different output formats (such as ASCII, HTML, and spreadsheet
compatible formats)
• Schedule those reports with the Data Protector built-in scheduler
• Trigger report sending based on events (such as device failure, mount requests,
and end of sessions)
