Lists all storage arrays that the Data Collectors identified.

If you want a static report, specify a start and end date in the date format: MM/DD/YYYY. If you want a dynamic report—that is, a report that changes as the underlying data changes—do not specify a start and end date, as the default always represents the current day.

 

For Capacity At Risk reports only, limit the report output to a threshold category:

The scope selector default is to cascade to all child sub-groups when generating the report. If you prefer to report ONLY on the host group you selected, then uncheck Cascade into sub-groups.

This option is available only in the Job Status Summary and Job Summary reports. For NetBackup, the Portal groups the jobs with the same parent-child relationship that NetBackup uses. Some customers prefer to see only the status of the parent jobs, so this option enables that selection.

Select a custom backup window to be applied to the report. Typically, backups begin at the end of the business day, but they do not finish before the end of the day—thereby skewing the success statistics for the day. To more accurately reflect backup SLA metrics, you can re-define a day with a custom backup window. These custom backup windows are defined by the StorageConsole Application Administrator. To create specific backup windows, see About Custom Backup Windows.

Check this box to indicate that retries for backup jobs should not be incorporated in the statistics shown.

Name of the host, as defined in the collected product.

Indicates how a host has been commissioned in an enterprise, such as VM Guest, VM Server, VIO Guest, VIO Server, or Other. This selection enables reporting of various types of virtual hosts.

Specify the maximum number of slices for pie chart rendering.

Model of the host, such as Windows-x86.

Host’s OS type, such as Linux or Windows.

Version of the host’s operating system.

Find hosts that have been collected from particular subsystem, such as Symantec NetBackup.

Find hosts that have been collected by this product group, such as capacity collection.

Find hosts that have not been collected by this product group, such as capacity collection.

Find hosts that have not been from particular subsystem, such as Symantec NetBackup.

Check this box if you want to see data for only SAN-attached hosts. When this box is not checked, the report will include VM Guests and hosts that have been collected by other StorageConsole products, such as Backup Manager or Virtualization Manager.

Provides a drop-down list to specify a time span, such as last 90 days or previous month.
