Help with OpsCenter Reports

I need to generate two reports that OpsCenter seems to be missing.

 

One report is a Frozen Tape report.

The second report is a Scratch Tape report.

 

Can anybody give me pointers on how to create these?

  • Was there anything else you needed to see on the reports or will they work for your needs? If so please mark as solutions.

  • I cant get the custom reports to work for this through the UI but it should be something like this:

    Custom Report >

    Cat: Backup/Recovery

    Subcat: Media

    View Type: Tabular

     

    Time Frame:

    No Time Basis

     

    Filters:

    Media

    (Frozen)

    Column: Media Status

    Value: Frozen/Frozen Full

    (Scratch)

    Column: Media Volume Pool Name

    Value: Scratch(Or what ever you called your pool)

     

    I'll work on some custom SQL in case this dosent help.

     

     

  • Here is the SQL for these.

    Scratch:

    SELECT * FROM domain_Media WHERE volumePoolName = 'Scratch'

     

    Frozen:

    SELECT * FROM domain_Media WHERE status IN (SELECT id FROM lookup_MediaStatus WHERE name LIKE '%Frozen%')

     

    Also if by some chance you do not have a Scratch pool here is something that will at least get you close:

    SELECT * FROM domain_Media WHERE usedCapacity IS NULL AND isCleaning = 0 AND isImported = 0

  • Thanks for the help.

     

    I can't believe I'm the first person to ask for a Scratch Tape report or a Frozen Tape report.  You'd think those would be canned reports that come with OpsCenter.

  • The SQL queries work great but is there a way to generate a count of how many lines have been returned?  I've tried using the count(*) option but it doesn't work.  One of our DBA's suggested putting a second SQL SELECT statement but it appears it's not working either.

     

  • You aren't the first to look for them!  And you would think you could just filter the canned "Media Reports" -> "Media State" report, but no.

    If you are looking for just the count of tapes, there are scripts for similar reports in NetBackup's .../goodies directory.  But the way to fix frozen tapes is through the NetBackup command line or GUI, which is pretty easy to find them right there and right-click to unfreeze them.

    Oh, and the OpsCenter home page already has a Media Summary by Status pie chart.
