Virtual Client Summary report

The Virtual Client Summary report shows details of all virtual clients of a NetBackup master server. Using this report, you can determine whether these virtual clients were backed up by NetBackup or not. Thus, you can report on the virtual clients that need to be protected. It also shows at a glance that last time the system was backed up. .

You can also drill down in this report to see the job details of a specific virtual client.

OpsCenter can poll the ESX or Hyper-V server to determine what systems have been configured and compare that with the NetBackup policies that have been created. This helps to track those virtual machines that are not being protected by any NetBackup polices.

You can now view data in this report for a specific client view by selecting a client view from the View filter. Earlier you could only filter the report data for a master server view.

Virtual Client Summary report

The sample report shows an example of ESX server that has a number of VM's configured. Most of the virtual clients do not exist in any NetBackup policy and need to be added or protected. It also shows at a glance the last time the system was backed up (from the Last Successful Backup Time column).

The Virtual Client Summary report shows the following columns:

Virtual Server Name

Name of the virtual server host such as VMware or Hyper-V server

Data Store

Data store associated with the virtual client. Data Store is where vmdk files are stored.

Host

Host name of the virtual machine.

Virtual Client Name

Name of the virtual client running on a virtual server and which is connected to the NetBackup Master Server through a proxy server

Virtual clients are the physical partitions of a virtual server, such as VMware or Hyper-V.

Multiple virtual clients may have the same IP address. But they can be identified by their UUIDs. UUID is a unique identifier of a virtual client.
