NetBackup data types and collection status
OpsCenter collects data for many NetBackup data types (such as Appliance Hardware, jobs, policy, media server, service, storage unit etc.) by using NBSL.
For most operations and changes in NetBackup, NBSL sends notifications to OpsCenter. For changes such as job, policy, services, and devices, the notification also contains the changed data. This data is stored in the OpsCenter database.
The following are the collection status for the different data types and their description:
Table: Collection statuses
Collection status | Description |
|---|---|
Not Applicable | This status occurs when the master server version does not support the specific data type. This status also comes when you have not configured data collection for the following data types:
You can enable data collection for these data types while adding or editing a master server under Advanced Data Collection Properties section. See Adding a master server or an appliance master server in the OpsCenter console. See Editing a master server or an appliance master server in OpsCenter. |
Not Started | The data collection for the specific data type has not started. This status appears when you initially add a master server or when you start the OpsCenter server. |
Queued | The data collection for the specific data type is queued. |
Running | The data collection for the specific data type is in progress. |
Completed | The data collection for the specific data type is complete. |
Failed | The data collection for the specific data type has failed. When the data collection fails, you can see the exception message from the Last Exception Message column. Note: Data collection can fail, and then start after some time. This is normal behavior. If data collection for a particular data type fails, it should be automatically started again within 10 minutes. All the functionality other than the functionality of the failed data type can be used normally while collection for a data type fails. |
Not Licensed | This status is seen when the specific data type like FT is not licensed in NetBackup. |
