NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

• Ability to plan for capacity licensing.

• On a weekly basis, NetBackup gathers and reports usage and trend information.

  The nbdeployutil utility has scheduled runs to gather data for the report (enabled by default). For more information, see Scheduling capacity licensing reports.

• A link to Usage Insights. This tool allows NetBackup customers to proactively manage their license use through near real-time visibility of consumption patterns.

• Reporting for the following policy types.

  BigData	Informix	NDMP	Sybase
  MS-Exchange-Server	MS-SQL-Server	Oracle	VMware
  Hyper-V	MS-Windows	Standard	Hypervisor

NetBackup automatically collects data for the usage reporting, provided the following requirements are met:

• The primary server (or primary servers) are at NetBackup 8.1.2 or later.

• You use capacity licensing.

• You use automatic, scheduled reports. If you manually generate capacity license reports, the data does not display in the usage report in the NetBackupweb UI.

• The following file exists:

  UNIX: /usr/openv/var/global/incremental/Capacity_Trend.out

  Windows: install_path\var\global\incremental\Capacity_Trend.out

• If you want one of your primary servers to gather usage reporting data for other remote primary servers, additional configuration is required. You must create a trust relationship between the primary servers. You must also add the local primary server (where you plan to run nbdeployutil) to the Servers list on each remote primary server.

  See Configure the servers list for usage reporting.
