I am quickly running out of deduplication space on my 5220 appliance, and am curious to know which client is resonsible for the rapid change. I have my suspicions from a number of culprits, since this started happening not long after I added a number of new machines to the list of clients, but I need to narrow it down.
I have tried looking through all of the reports I can find, and can figure out how many KB has been transferred in total (Images on Media), and I can view deduplication rates for each backup (Disk Logs), but that doesn't really tell me which server is consuming the most in the Disk Pool.
How do I get a hold of such a report?
Solved! Go to Solution.

What about this technote: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH147351
Halfway thu the tech note, a section start with "To determine how much data is being sent to the content router during each backup and what is the deduplication rate"
And this is more of the same : http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO36313

I don't think the dedupe rate is my issue, and I don't seem to be experiencing any issues or problems, and nohing is jumping out at me in the logs.
I am currently trying to get the OpsCenter running, but there is an error in the install documentation, so I will be opening up a ticket to get this going.

Well, if deduplication is working, there is not a server that consumes most space as it will be shared.
But if you have a server that has low deduplication rate that could give you a clue. Have you checked to add the deduplication column at the activity monitor?
With this column and the kilobytes column you can find out the new space that is allocated in each job. You can also check at the disk reports->images on disk to see what backups are on the pool.

I am now hoping I can figure out how to create such a report in OpsCenter. I just finally got it installed...
