Reporting on client data

[Davidxpert]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to use NetWorker to provide information on clients and would appreciate very much any help with what commands/scripts are available for the following:

1) How much storage does a client have and what % of that storage is used
2) For each client what are all the backup jobs that have been run for a given date range
3) What is this OS of a client and what application modules (like NetWorker for Oracle) are installed on each client

Thanks for all that contribute to this group, the best I've found!

Hello,

1 - unless you have pools defined specifically for clients, the storage is wide open to every client. The % of filling cannot be computed because it depends on the data compression.

2 - try a mminfo command with some parameters like -c client_name, and savetime.

3 - you can get information with the nsradmin command which can walk throught networker databases information.

Thanks for the information.

For the client storage I was not clear, I'm not interested in the amount of NW storage used, but the actual storage that exists on the client file system.

Not enough clear

- the total amount of data saved for this client ?
- the total amount of data to be saved when launching a save ?

...but the actual storage that exists on the client file system."

What about chkdsk or df ?

 

[Davidxpert]

What I'm looking for is something like hasf for a client.

 

[denisfr]

what is hasf ?

Thanks for your reply,

Rather than post the command here, click on this link to a great site for Legato Command Reference:

Be careful - the 'Host Agent' software was never supported and has been removed with NW 7.5. To the best of my knowledge, it has only been available for Windows.

Probably, the Data Protection Advisor can help.

Thanks, I must have seen it in an old admin guide and I could not find it in the new LRM so I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

What is the Data Protection Advisor?
