SLP Status by SLP report

You can view the SLP status by SLP report when you click the master server (link) in the SLP report. It provides detailed information on the status of each SLP that is configured on the selected master server.

The SLP status by SLP report lets you monitor the progress of each SLP and also quickly identify the possible bottlenecks.

The SLP Status by SLP report comprises of the following columns:

Master Server (where the SLP lives)

Name of the master server where the SLP runs. The SLP may run on the origin master server or any of the destination master servers (in case of Auto Image Replication). The NetBackup master server must be of 7.1 or a later version and also added to the OpsCenter console.

This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

SLP Name

Name of the SLP (link) that is configured on the master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

Click the name (link) to view the SLP Status by Destinations report.

SLP Version

Version (link) that is associated with the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

Click the version (link) to view the SLP Duplication Progress report.

Oldest Unfinished Image

The oldest image that is not SLP-complete for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column represents the image end time (and date). This data helps you to identify the possible bottlenecks for the specific SLP.

This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

TotaI Clients

Number of unique clients (link) that are backed up by the specific SLP. Note that if the same client is backed up twice or thrice by the SLP, the client is counted only once. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Client report.

Total Existing Images

The total number of images that are present in the OpsCenter database for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This includes both SLP-complete images and SLP-incomplete images. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Image report for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This report displays details of images in the OpsCenter database that are associated with the SLP's on the selected master server.

Images % SLP Complete

Percentage of images in the OpsCenter database that are SLP-complete for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

The data for this column is calculated using data from the following columns of the SLP Status by SLP report:

  • Images SLP Complete

  • Total Existing Images

The contents of Images % SLP Complete column is calculated by using the following formula:

Images SLP Complete / Total Existing Images * 100

Images SLP Complete

Number of images in the OpsCenter database that are SLP-complete for the specific SLP on the selected master server. You can remove this column when you edit the report.

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Image report. A filtered view of the report appears that displays details of images in the OpsCenter database that are SLP-complete for the specific SLP.

Images Not SLP Complete

Number of images in the OpsCenter database that are SLP-incomplete for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Image report. A filtered view of the report appears that displays details of images in the OpsCenter database that are SLP-incomplete.

Total Expected Copies

Total number of image copies in the OpsCenter database for the specific SLP on the selected master server (includes both complete copies and incomplete copies). This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Image Copy report.

% Copy Complete

Percentage of completed copies in the OpsCenter database for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

The data for this column is calculated by using data from the following columns of the SLP Status By SLP report:

  • Copies Completed

  • Total Expected Copies

The contents of % Copy Complete column is calculated by using the following formula:

Copies Completed / Total Expected Copies * 100

Copies Completed

The number of completed copies that are present in the OpsCenter database for the specific SLP on the selected master server. You can remove this column when you edit the report.

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Image Copy report. A filtered view of the report appears that displays details for copies in the OpsCenter database that are complete for the selected master server.

Copies Not Complete

Shows the number of incomplete copies in the OpsCenter database for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

The data for this column is calculated by using the following formula:

Copies Not Complete = Total Expected Copies - Copies Completed

Click the number (link) to view the SLP Status by Image Copy report. A filtered view of the report appears that displays details for copies in the OpsCenter database that are incomplete for the selected SLP.

Total Expected Size - all copies (MB)

Expected aggregate size of all copies for the selected SLP that are present in the OpsCenter database. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

The data for this column is calculated by using the following formula:

Total Expected Size for all copies = (Number of copies for the specific SLP) * (backup copy size for the specific SLP)

Note:

The total expected size for all copies is a front-end size and is derived from the number of copies multiplied by the size of backup copy. The effects of deduplication, compression, or optimized deduplication on the Total Expected Size - all copies are not considered in the SLP reports.

Completed Copy Size (%)

Percentage of completed copy size for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

The data for this column is calculated from the following columns of the SLP Status By SLP report:

  • Completed Copy Size

  • Total Expected Size - all copies

The contents of Completed Copy Size (%) column is calculated by using the following formula:

Completed Copy Size / Total Expected Size - all copies * 100

Completed Copy Size (MB)

Aggregate size of all the completed copies in the OpsCenter database for the specific SLP on the selected master server. You can remove this column when you edit the report.

Note:

The Completed Copy Size is a front-end size. The effects of deduplication, compression, or optimized deduplication on completed copy size are not considered in the SLP reports.

Remaining Copy Size (MB)

Aggregate size of all remaining copies that are to be created for the specific SLP on the selected master server. This column is mandatory and cannot be removed when you edit the report.

The data for this column is calculated in the following manner:

(Remaining Copy Count for the specific SLP) x (Size of backup copy for the specific SLP)

Note:

The remaining copy size is a front-end size and is derived from the number of remaining copies multiplied by the size of backup copy 1. The effects of deduplication, compression, or optimized deduplication on remaining copy size are not considered in the SLP reports.

You can use filters to view specific data in the SLP Status by SLP report. The following filters are available when you edit the SLP Status by SLP report:

Views

Select a particular view to see data for the selected view.

Master Server

Select one or more master servers to see data for the selected master servers.

Storage Lifecycle Policy

Select one or more SLP's to see data for the selected SLP's.

The default timeframe for this report is based on what timeframe is selected for the top-level report.
