Displaying Status of Catalog Search

The status gives you a quick look of catalog search server for cataloged data stored and system usage during the process. You can view the storage used, CPU usage, number of files, and savesets cataloged, and the last cataloged date and time. The status is displayed only if catalog search is installed and enabled; otherwise, no information displayed.

Storage Usage

Displays the storage used for catalog search and the free disk space available, where catalog search is installed. The storage usage is displayed in percentage, and it also displays the current catalog search database store size in KB, MB, GB, or TB.

To view the storage used by catalog search for NetVault, Click View Details.

The graph displays monthly storage usage (KB, MB, GB, or TB). Month wise data points are plotted on this graph, these data points displays the value of used storage in KB, MB, GB, or TB once you hover the cursor over these data points.

Configuring storage devices

About storage devices

NetVault supports a wide range of devices for storing backups. The supported devices include disk-based storage devices, deduplication appliances, physical tape libraries, autoloaders, tape drives, Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs), and Shared Virtual Tape Libraries (SVTLs).

You can attach the storage devices to the NetVault Server, Clients, or NAS filers in a NetVault Domain. The physical storage devices can be configured for single or shared use, and connected through SCSI, iSCSI, IP, SAS, or Fiber Channel SAN interfaces.

To use a storage device in a backup or restore operation, you must first add the device to the NetVault Domain. A device attached to a NetVault Client is only recognized after you add the client to the NetVault Server. Similarly, a device attached to a filer is only recognized after you add the filer to the server using NetVault Plug-in for NDMP (Plug-in for NDMP). The MSP administrators create tenant specific media groups on the storage devices. These media groups are then assigned to the respective tenant user groups, or multiple tenant user groups of the same organization. For more information on:

Tenants can access only those media groups which are assigned to them.
