  • Provisioning Efficiency %

  • Software Saving Ratio

  • Software Compression Ratio

  • Software Deduplication Ratio

  • Software Pattern Matching Ratio

Table: Enhancements and resolved issues

Issue Number

Description

SC-43968

Resolves an issue of data collection from the VMWare environment using the Veeam system. The host ID value from the VMWare environment is mapped to the Veeam system. However, if the host ID value was not found, a new host entry is created using DP_SEARCH_HOST_FOR_VM_OBJ_ON parameter and mapped for data collection.

Portal section

Table: Enhancements and resolved issues

Issue Number

Description

SC-43996

Resolves an issue with NetBackup Job details which were getting executed for more than 16 hours. The issue was observed due to ENABLE_MINUS_T_OPTION parameter due to the poll date log record.

SC-45782

Resolves an issue with persisting the value of backupid when multiple string appeared in the output of NetBackup "/licensing/capacity" REST API

SC-46020

Enhancement incorporated in Array Capacity & Utilization report. The values in Pool Summary and Volume/LUN Summary columns are now displayed as hyperlinks for the following rows:

  • # Resv Vols/Luns in Pool Summary

  • # Vols/LUNs in Volume/LUN Summary

  • # Allocated Vols/LUNs in Volume/LUN Summary

  • # UnAllocated Vols/LUNs in Volume/LUN Summary

Click hyperlinks and NetBackup IT Analytics displays the new Hitachi Vantara Lun Utilization Summary report.

Note:

For more information, See Report Reference Guide >> Array Capacity & Utilization reports >> Array Capacity & Utilization - (Hitachi Vantara All-Flash and Hybrid Flash Storage) section.

  

SC-46325

Enhanced the Job Summary report to display child policy for the parent policy. Initially, only the parent policy was displayed in the Policy column. Now, a new column Lifecycle Policy has been added to display the child policy details.

Resolves an issue with NetApp Cluster where the portal was unable to update the ONTAP version.

SC-46449

Resolves an issue with the VMWare where the database integrity constraint blocked the purging process.

Resolves an issue with VMware data collection. NetBackup IT Analytics encountered more than 30 GB of trace files by Oracle. A deadlock situation arises when deleting these trace files.

SC-46795

Resolves an issue with the RTD template. When the user modified the display settings to a horizontal stack bar chart, an error was displayed and the chart did not render correct values.

SC-46969

Resolves an issue with Hitachi HCP. The Total capacity and used capacity for S series storage are now captured and added to the total usable capacity along with primary storage details. The RTD report can be created to view the S series storage and primary storage capacity details, separately. Node level capacity details for S series storage are not available.
