Hello

If you check in the job detailed status you'll see there is a message saying opening Fibre Transport. And it lists the Buffer size used. This indicates that it is indeed going via the SAN.

Hi Riaan,

Thanks For Reply ,

But like this i would have to check manually one by one ,

Hi,

Ok, if you want to have it pop out at you you can set the FT properties to Fail. This can be done on the master, media, or client level. If FT is not available the job will fail and you'll know it by the failed job in the Activtity monitor.

The Fail property specifies that NetBackup should fail the job if an FT device is not online and up. If the FT devices are online but busy, NetBackup waits until a device is available and assigns the next job to the device. An FT device may not

exist because none is active, none have been configured, or the SAN Client license expired.

Bit more of a drastic solution :)

hi, If you don't like to check one by one. Maybe you could try to check nbftsrvr log on media server. As nbftsrvr is only for SAN client backup. Thanks

OpsCenter Analytics also has a couple of reports that list what recent jobs used SAN transport as well as how many of your overall backups used LAN vs SAN.

In the report templates under Client Reports is the "SAN Client Jobs" report.  That gives a long list of all jobs in the specified time period that used SAN.

Under Performance Reports is "NetBackup SAN and LAN Client Performance".  That gives the throughput for both modes as well as how many jobs used each mode.
