SLP reporting limitations
OpsCenter collects data for SLP reports in the following phases:
Table: SLP data collection
Serial No. | Phase | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
1. |
Initial Data Collection |
When a NetBackup 7.1 or later master server is added to the OpsCenter console, OpsCenter Server initially collects all data from the EMM worklist. |
|
2. |
Periodic Data Collection |
After the initial data load, OpsCenter collects only the changed data after every 10 minutes. |
OpsCenter depends on the EMM worklist for SLP reporting. The following EMM behavior affects the data that is shown in the SLP reports:
If the Retention type of the SLP destination is Expire after Copy, then EMM deletes the copy entry from the EMM worklist after duplication is complete. This behavior affects the initial data collection and periodic data collection for SLP reports.
If the Retention type of the SLP destination is Fixed, then EMM deletes the copy entry based on the Retention period that is specified in the policy. This behavior affects the initial data collection and periodic data collection for SLP reports.
If the SLP images reside on a tape drive, then EMM deletes the copy entry when the particular SLP is complete. This behavior affects the initial data collection and periodic data collection for SLP reports.
If you cancel an SLP that is in progress, then all the copy entries that are associated with this SLP image are deleted from the EMM worklist. This behavior affects the periodic data collection for SLP reports.
