The dashboard displays a summary of the health of your IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment.

Job Status

The Job Status section displays a summary of job activities over a selected time period. Select a time period from the Job status period field to display job status information from the selected period in the overview and scatter plot graph.

The following information displays in the overview of the Job Status section:

  • Successful - The total number of jobs within the selected period that completed with no warnings or critical errors.
  • Failed - The total number of jobs within the selected period that failed with critical errors or that wholly failed to complete.
  • Warning - The total number of jobs within the selected period that partially completed, were skipped, or otherwise resulted in warning errors.
  • Running - The total number of jobs currently running.
  • Total Jobs - The total number of jobs set to complete within the selected time period, including running jobs.
  • Success Rate - The success rate for jobs over the selected period. The success rate is calculated through the following formula: 
  • 100 x (Successful / (Total Jobs - Running) = Success Rate

The Job Status Over Time section displays the status of job sessions on a scatter plot graph. Add or remove the Failed, Warning, and Successful lanes through the check boxes above the graph. Each circle on the graph represents a collection of jobs that completed during the selected block of time. Hover your cursor over the circles to view the total number of jobs represented by the circle. Click a circle to display the details of the jobs represented by the circle, including the duration of the jobs, their status, and associated job logs.

  • Type - The storage resource type.
  • Error - The error message logged in the system at the shown time. Click View Log to review the log at the time the error occurred.

The System Capacity Breakdown section displays the usage of your storage resources as well as their deduplication and compressions ratios. The following information displays in the System Capacity Breakdown section:

  • Space Available - The total amount of space remaining across all storage resources.
  • Average Deduplication Ratio - The ratio of the amount of data that is protected compared with the physical space required to store it, due to removal of duplicates.
  • Average Compression Ratio - The ratio of the amount of data that is protected compared with the physical space required to store it, due to data compression.

Click View Backup Storage to view your current storage configuration on the Backup Storage pane and resolve capacity issues. From the Backup Storage pane you can add additional vSnap servers or expand the storage pools of your existing vSnap servers. see Install vSnap Server and Add a Backup Storage Provider.
