Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Viewing the Drive Summary by Status

The Drive Summary by Status section shows an overall distribution of drives by drive status for the current View pane selection. This information is shown in a pie chart as well as a table.

Note:

For 7.0.1 and later master servers, the Drive Summary by Status section does not show the drives that are disabled or unreachable.

Note:

The timeframe selection does not affect this section. All the data from the OpsCenter database is displayed in this section irrespective of the timeframe that you select.

A pie chart with different colors represents the distribution of drives by drive status in the selected time frame. Each color of the pie chart represents how drives are distributed in your environment as per the drive status. You can also view the color code summary in this section to know the colors that represent different exit status. Putting your pointer over the pie chart shows the number and percentage of drives with up or down status in your NetBackup environment. For example, pointing to the green color in the pie chart shows that 5 drives or 100% drives in your environment are up.

You can drill down from this section to see details of all drives including up, down, or mixed drives.

To view drives by drive status

  1. In the OpsCenter console, select Monitor > Overview.
  2. In the Drive Summary by Status section, do either of the following:
    • Click the number of drives (link) for a particular drive status from the table. For example, click the number for Up drives

      Or

    • Click a colored section of the pie chart that corresponds to a particular drive status. For example, click the green section of the pie chart to view details for the drives that are up.
