In the Container Name: drop-down list, select the container for which you want to view statistics.
 
NOTE: When you select a container, all statistics displayed on the Container Statistics page represent specific information about the backup data, throughput, replication, marker type, and connection type for the selected container. The displayed statistics will vary depending upon the connection type used by the specified container.
3.
View the current statistics in the Backup Data and Throughput panes.
The Backup Data pane displays the number of active files ingested based on time (in minutes), and the number of active bytes ingested based on time (in minutes). The Throughput pane displays the number of read data in Mebibytes/per second (MiB/s) based on time (in minutes), and the number of write data in MiB/s based on time (in minutes).
 
NOTE: The Current Time Zone for the DR Series system is displayed below the Backup Data pane (for example, System Time Zone: US/Pacific).
4.
In the Backup Data and Throughput panes, click Zoom to select the duration period you want to display from the following options:
◦
1h (1-hour is the default duration displayed)
◦
1d (1-day)
◦
5-d (five-day)
◦
1m (1-month)
◦
1y (1-year)
 
NOTE: To refresh the values listed in the Backup Data and Throughput panes, click .
5.
The Marker Type pane displays the marker type associated with the container. For details, see Creating Storage Containers.
6.
In the Connection Type pane, you can view information about the configured connection type for the selected container which can be NFS, CIFS, NDMP, iSCSI, RDS, or OST. The type of information displayed can be different depending on the connection type. For example, the following information is displayed:
◦
NFS Connection Configuration pane—NFS access path, Client Access, NFS Options, Map root to, and NFS Write Accelerator (DR6000 only).
◦
CIFS Connection Configuration pane—CIFS share path, Client Access, and CIFS Write Accelerator (DR6000 only).
◦
For VTL containers with a connection type of NDMP or iSCSI, the Connection Type pane displays the tape size and also contains the following three tabs:
▪
Library — displays information in a table about the vendor and model information for medium changer and tape drives. The Info Column in the first row of the table indicates the total number of tapes and tape size of the VTL container.
▪
Access Control List — For NDMP connection types, displays the IP address or the FQDN of the DMA that has access to this VTL container, or, for iSCSI connection types, displays the “Inititators Allowed” for the container.
◦
If the container is an RDA connection type container, the Connection Type OST pane or Connection Type RDS pane displays the following three tabs:
▪
Capacity — displays a Capacity pane with Status, Capacity, Capacity Used, and Total Images
▪
Duplication
— displays a Duplication Statistics pane with Inbound and Outbound statistics in the following categories: Bytes Copied (logical), Bytes Transferred (actual), Network Bandwidth Settings, Current Count of Active Files, and Replication Errors.
▪
Client Statistics — displays a Client Statistics pane with Images Ingested, Images Complete, Images Incomplete, Images Restored, Bytes Restored, Image Restore Errors, Image Ingest Errors, Bytes Ingested, Bytes Transferred, and Network Savings.
7.
In the Replication pane (if enabled for NFS/CIFS connection types), you can click the link for a container to view the replication information for that container. When you click the link, the Replication Statistics page opens for the selected container.

Monitoring Replication Statistics

Displaying Replication Statistics Using the CLI

Click Dashboard → Replication Statistics to display and monitor replication statistics for one (or more) containers, and one (or more) peer DR Series systems selected in the Replication Filter pane. Depending on the configured settings, you can monitor and display replication statistics for:

•
All containers
•
One or more specific containers
•
One or more peer DR Series systems

The Replication Filter pane contains 10 Headers check boxes that you can select to display replication statistics for the container(s) or other peer DR Series system(s) you select in Container Filter.

After selecting the container(s), peer system(s), and the replication statistic categories, click Apply Filter to display the replication statistics results based on the search criteria you selected.

Using the Replication Statistics page, you can selectively filter and display specific types of related replication statistics for all, one or more than one container, or one or more other peer DR Series systems.

In addition to using the DR Series system GUI to display replication statistics, you can also display statistics for a specific replication container by using the DR Series system CLI stats --replication --name <container name> command to view the following replication container statistics categories:

Container Name (name of the replication container)
•
Replication Source Container (name that identifies the data source)
•
Replication Source System (IP address or host name of the data source)
•
Peer Status (current status of replication peer; for example, paused)
•
Replication State (current state of replication relationship; for example, insync)
•
Schedule Status (current status in days, hours, minutes, seconds)
•
Replication Average Throughput (in Kebibytes per second, KiB/s)
•
Replication Maximum Throughput (in KiB/s)
•
Network Average Throughput (average throughput rate in KiB/s)
•
Network Maximum Throughput (maximum throughput rate in KiB/s)
•
Network Bytes Sent (total network bytes sent in Mebibytes/MiB)
•
Dedupe Network Savings (total deduplication network savings in percentage)
•
Compression Network Savings (total compression network savings in percentage)
•
Last INSYNC Time (date of last sync operation in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format)
•
Estimated time to sync (time until next sync operation in days, hours, minutes, and seconds)

Data replication history is also displayed on a file-by-file basis, with a replication timestamp, and other file related information.
