Table: NetBackup SLP Status by SLP
Column name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Server |
This is where the SLP is located. Click the link to drill down to the SLP Status by SLP report. This column lists all the primary servers that have associated SLPs. An SLP may be on the origin primary server or on any of the destination primary servers (in the case of duplication to a remote primary. Click the link to view Host Details. |
|
SLP Name |
Name of the SLP that is configured on the primary server. |
|
SLP Version |
Version that is associated with the specific SLP on the selected primary server. See NetBackup SLP Details . |
|
Oldest Unfinished Image |
The oldest image that is not SLP-complete for any SLP on the associated primary server. This represents the image end date and time, which can be used to identify possible SLP bottlenecks. |
|
# Clients |
Number of unique clients (link) that are backed up by the specific SLP. Note that if the same client is backed up more than once by the SLP, the client is counted only once. |
|
# Existing Images |
The total number of images that are for the specific SLP on the selected primary server. This includes both SLP-complete images and SLP-incomplete images. |
|
Images % SLP Complete |
Percentage of images that are SLP-complete for the specific SLP on the selected primary server, calculated as: Images SLP Complete / Total Existing Images * 100. |
|
Images SLP Complete |
Number of images that are SLP-complete for the specific SLP on the selected primary server. |
|
Images Not SLP Complete |
Number of images that are SLP-incomplete for the specific SLP on the selected primary server. |
|
# Expected Copies |
Total number of image copies for the specific SLP on the selected primary server (includes both complete copies and incomplete copies). |
|
% Copy Complete |
Percentage of completed copies for the specific SLP and image on the selected primary server., calculated as: Copies Completed / Total Copies * 100. |
|
Copies Completed |
The number of completed copies that are present for the specific SLP and image on the selected primary server. |
|
Copies Not Complete |
The number of incomplete copies for the specific SLP and image on the selected primary server, calculated as: Copies not Complete = Total Copies - Copies Completed. |
|
Total Expected Size |
The size of all copies for the SLP, calculated as: (Number of copies for the specific SLP) * (backup copy size for the specific SLP). Note: The total expected size for all copies is a front-end size and is derived from the number of copies multiplied by the size of the backup copy. The effects of deduplication, compression, and optimized deduplication on the Total Expected Size are not considered in the SLP reports. |
|
Completed Copy Size % |
Percentage of completed copy size for the specific SLP on the selected primary server. This value is calculated as: Completed Copy Size / Total Expected Size - all copies * 100. This is derived from the aggregate size of all the completed copies for the specific SLP on the selected primary server. |
|
Completed Copy Size |
Aggregate size of all the completed copies in the database for the SLP and the specific SLP destination. This value is calculated as: (Completed Copy Count for the specific SLP) x (Size of backup copy for the specific SLP). |
|
Remaining Copy Size |
Aggregate size of all remaining copies that are to be created for the specific SLP and image on the selected primary server. This value is calculated as: (Remaining Copy Count) x (Size of Backup Copy1). |
