Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Monitor > Appliance Hardware > Deduplication

OpsCenter can centrally monitor the hardware information of multiple deduplication appliances. You can monitor a deduplication appliance that is deployed as a standalone Storage Pool Authority (SPA), as a Content Router (CR), or as a PureDisk deduplication option (PDDO) storage server to a NetBackup domain. You can add a deduplication appliance master server in OpsCenter to monitor it. You can also configure hardware alerts for both NetBackup and deduplication appliances and view deduplication reports using OpsCenter.

This tab provides the summary of Deduplication appliances that are added to the OpsCenter Analytics console. The view provides a visual cue to hardware status. You can monitor any hardware failures in the Deduplication appliance master servers that are added to the OpsCenter console.

See Appliance hardware details.

Note:

Where Amazon is the cloud service provider, OpsCenter cannot report on the data that MSDP cloud storage servers upload to the cloud.

This view provides the information that is monitored for each piece of hardware in your Deduplication appliance. The table displays the following details:

  

Host Name
