MSDP version of Appliance: Reports / Deduplication output

Question

Is there a command (or series of commands) that can be run on a Windows MSDP Media Server to get something like the output that an Applince kicks out when you go to Reports / Deduplication?

In most cases I'm running Server 2k12 with the Unix tools installed so I do have access to sed/awk/grep...etc....I wish MS had kept them in 2k12 R2...oh well...

EXAMPLE:

APPLIANCE.Main_Menu&gt; Reports
	Entering NetBackup reporting view...

Deduplication&nbsp; Show deduplication statistics.
	Exit&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Logout and exit from the current shell.
	Process&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Show current process status.
	Return&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Return to the previous menu.
	Shell&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Shell operations.

APPLIANCE.Reports&gt; Deduplication
	Deduplication statistics
	Deduplication technology&nbsp; MSDP
	Deduplication rate&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 87.409%
	Data Protected&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 119344857 MB
	Space Used For Protection 15026345 MB
	Physical free space&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8877902 MB
	Logical free space&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 MB
	Total free space&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8877902 MB
	Maximum Disk Space&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 23886659 MB
	Used Disk Space&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15008757 MB

APPLIANCE.Reports&gt;

The command i listed earlier does pipe out to an excel file and the output is quite nice really - like the appliance

If you use "crstats --verbose&gt;c:\stats.txt" then you get this in the text file:

Storage Pool Raw Size=62672026402816Bytes

Storage Pool Reserved Space=2507954794496Bytes

Storage Pool Size=60164071608320Bytes

Storage Pool Used Space=45523747012608Bytes

Use Rate=76%

Storage Pool Available Space=14640324595712Bytes

Catalog Logical Size=632274848694179Bytes

Catalog files Count=516719

Container Number=172809

Container Average Size=263120631Bytes

Space Allocated For Containers=45469613218215Bytes

Deduplication Ratio=13.9

I'm not aware of any individual NetBackup CLI commands that produce this level of detail in a&nbsp;quick summary. &nbsp;Such a command may exist, but I don't know it.

The storage pool size can be collected using:

nbdevquery -listdp -stype PureDisk -U

...and the storage volume size, but also free space, and occupancy level, with:

nbdevquery -listdv -stype PureDisk -U

...but not the de-dupe rate or the quantity of (pre-dedupe) data protected.

If you could get&nbsp;the overall average de-dupe rate from somewhere, then using the size and occupancy (from -dv), then one&nbsp;could easily calculate the quantity of data protected.

So, the missing piece is the overall average de-dupe rate.

The qestion is... where is this quick view getting the de-dupe rate from?

I guess crcontrol --dsstat gives a lot of it .. except the dedupe ratio ..&nbsp;

OpsCenter has that per Master server so i guess you could edit a report or do a query in OpsCenter to get what you need

mark_solutions · Answer

I couldnt resist digging&nbsp;

&nbsp;

\program files\veritas\pdde\crstats --verbose

Hope that helps

#edit#

If you do crstats --help you will see the other options as it will pipe out to a file etc for you

I have a script which will produce&nbsp;something&nbsp;like this:

10:23:34  %s_load_images, Disk volume figures...
10:23:34  %s_load_images,   Volume                                        Media           Max       Free       Used   Contains  Dedupe
10:23:34  %s_load_images,   ------                                        -----           ---       ----       ----   --------  ------
10:23:34  %s_load_images,   dp_disk_xxxpsssxxyy001                        @aaaah      100,880     35,646     65,234    258,099     4.0
10:23:34  %s_load_images,   -----------                                   ------      -------    -------    -------   --------  ------
10:23:34  %s_load_images,   Grand Total                                               100,880     35,646     65,234    258,099     4.0

10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe max         capacity:     100,880
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe reservation percentage:       20.0%
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe reservation capacity:      20,176
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe writeable   capacity:      80,704
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe used        capacity:      65,234
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe remaining   capacity:      15,470
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global dedupe average     rate:               4.0
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...actual    global raw    used        capacity:     258,099    80.8%
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...projected global raw    remaining   capacity:      61,209    19.2%
10:23:34  %s_load_images, ...projected global raw    total       capacity:     319,308

...but it's in VBscript, and does rely on having a bpimagelist -most_columns for *all* images.

As it stands right now the script&nbsp;has a load of other junk in it, but I could see if I could strip it down to just producing the above, i.e. to provide a basic report&nbsp;- if there's any interest in it.

So in the above, it gives a simple summary for all MSDP pools known to a master, and then summary a breakdown of total remaining&nbsp;capacity (across all pools) for that master.

Again, I could amend the script to generate the same bunch of final&nbsp;figures (in list form in&nbsp;section 2), but on a per MSDP pool basis (in table form&nbsp;in section 1).
