Plugin version: NDMP
Application version: N/A
Description:
Right-click on active NDMP job to "Monitor Job" does not provide expected details.
Symptoms:
Certain statistics such as remaining transfer, amount transfer, and transfer rates may not reflect actual. Information may either not be available or not updated in real-time.
When job monitoring is requested by the end user on an active NDMP job, a request for stats is sent to the filer OS. Depending on the phase of the backup or restore, the filer may not respond for a period of time while it prepares the data and/or it's filesystem for the dump or recovery. Unlike standard filesystem jobs, data does not stream instantaneously after a job is made active. Delays in reporting current status is a reflection of this.
NV:BU Job Monitor relies on the filer's response in order to provide updated transfer statistics. Some filer environment simply do not support particular requests. Any inaccurate or missing job status details is due to these filer side limitations.
