Viewing disk device details

The Manage Devices page shows all the devices that have been added to the NVBU Server. The current status of the devices is depicted using the following light icons.

 
Table 65. Device status icons
Status Indicator
Description

Green light

Device is online and available for use.

Yellow light

Device is in use. NetVault Backup is able to detect the device, but unable to access it for backup or restore jobs.

Red light

Device is currently offline. NetVault Backup can detect the device but it cannot be accessed for backup or restore jobs.

Red cross

Device is unavailable (the SCSI cable is disconnected, the device is removed, or any other reason). NetVault Backup cannot detect the device.

To view disk device details:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices. Select Tree View.
2
To view the details of a particular device, click the corresponding device and then click Status.
3
The device status dialog box includes the following tabs.
DR Series Systems and Data Domain Systems:
•
Activity
•
Name: The name of the storage device. The name is derived from the LSU name (container name) and the DNS name or IP address of the device.
•
Status: The status of the device. AVAILABLE specifies that the device is available for backups and restores, while OFFLINE specifies that the device is unavailable and cannot be used for backups or restores.
•
Stream count: The number of elements or NetVault Backup segments currently being sent to the DR Series system or Data Domain system.
•
Claims on device from this server: The number of Media Manager batch tasks using the DR Series system or Data Domain system. A batch task is associated with each backup, restore, scan, or load index stream connection to the device. A single job can have more than one claim on a device. For example, a single multi-channel Data Copy or Exchange backup can make multiple simultaneous claims on a device.
•
Send (MB/sec): The total megabytes per second (MBps) across all streams being sent out from the DR Series system or Data Domain system to NetVault Backup (that is, when an NetVault Backup restore job is being performed).
•
Receive (MB/sec): The total MBps across all streams being sent to the DR Series system (that is, when a NetVault Backup backup job is being performed).
 
* 
NOTE: When you add a DR Series system to multiple NetVault Backup Servers, the Activity tab will shows the accumulated transfer statistics for all servers.
•
Device
•
Name: The name of the storage device. The name is derived from the LSU name (container name) and the DNS name or IP address of the device.
•
Details: The DR OS version and the Client RDA API version.
- OR-
Data Domain OS and Client DD Boost API version.
NetVault SmartDisk devices:
•
Activity
•
Name: The name of the storage device. The name is derived from the host name and IP address of the device.
•
Status: The status of the device. AVAILABLE specifies that the device is available for backups and restores, while OFFLINE specifies that the device is unavailable and cannot be used for backups or restores.
•
Stream count: The number of elements or NetVault Backup segments currently being streamed to the NetVault SmartDisk.
•
Claims on device from this server: The number of Media Manager batch tasks using the NetVault SmartDisk device. A batch task is associated with each backup, restore, scan, or load index stream connection to the device. A single job can have more than one claim on a device. For example, a single multi-channel Data Copy or Exchange backup can make multiple simultaneous claims on a device.
•
Send (MB/sec): The total megabytes per second (MBps) across all streams being sent out from the NetVault SmartDisk device to NetVault Backup (that is, when an NetVault Backup restore job is being performed).
•
Receive (MB/sec): The total MBps across all streams being sent to the NetVault SmartDisk device (that is, when a NetVault Backup backup job is being performed).
•
Items deduplicating: The number of elements or NVBU segments currently being deduplicated.
•
Deduplication Queue Length: The number of elements or NetVault Backup segments currently waiting to be deduplicated.
•
Garbage Collection State: The current phase of Garbage Collection.
•
Storage
•
Data protected: The total amount of data currently being protected by the NetVault SmartDisk device.
•
Data Deduplicated: The total amount of data that has been submitted for deduplication.
•
Disk used by deduplicated data: The amount of disk space used by deduplicated data. It includes the space consumed by the Chunk Store, Chunk Index, and Manifests.
•
Dedupe ratio: The deduplication ratio is calculated as follows:
Deduplication ratio = Data Deduplicated / Disk Used by Deduplicated Data
•
Data in staging: The amount of data stored in the Staging Store.
•
Space available: The total disk space available on the storage device.
This option shows the total disk space available across all configured Storage Volumes regardless of their deny or favor configuration. It does not include the Garbage Collection Reserve or Last Resort Threshold (LRT).
•
Staging status: The status of the Staging Store. It can be one of the following:
•
AVAILABLE: Staging Store is available for writing.
•
FULL: Staging Store is full; no more space is available for writing.
•
UNAVAILABLE: Disk index is unavailable.
•
UNLICENCED: NetVault SmartDisk is not licensed, the license has expired, or the license limit has exceeded.
•
NONE: The status is unknown.
•
Staging space available: The total space available to the NetVault SmartDisk device across all configured Storage Volumes that do not deny Staging. It does not include the Garbage Collection Reserve or LRT.
•
Storage Status: The status of the Storage space. It can be one of the following:
•
AVAILABLE: Storage is available for deduplication and rehydration.
•
FULL: Storage is full; no more space is available for data deduplication.
•
