View entire topology in Netbackup 6.5.4

[pjtee]

Hi, this seems like a simple enough request but I'm having trouble figuring this out.

Netbackup comes with a great graphical topology of your backup structure but I cannot view my entire layour, i.e. backup/media server + all clients.

I can only see my backup servers and then whatever clients are active or failed.

Any help?


Thanks

on the netbackuo console, if you expand devices tab, you can click on topology to view your NBU environment.

Right, but that won't show me my attached clients. Is there a way to view everything?

i really dont think netbackup has a feature like that for now.

I try to help you out. See below

I have highlighted the Clients from left site. You can see all Clients which are Netbackup Clients at the right site. If you want to see Master and Media Server you can see those above the Clients at left site

Thanks...its frustrating because its obviously possible. I mean if every client failed its backup then the topology would naturally display the full topography. But there appears to be know way to display it beyond that.

but rather wants to see ALL of his clients whether they are active/failed or not i.e. everything! This is all well & good, but if the environment contains 00's or 000's of clients then I hope you've got a big screen!

I have seen what I think pjtee is after once or twice, but it generally only appears to happen (for me) if there's a slight glitch with the Admin Console & they all soon disappear if I refresh the screen.

The topology screen shows olny the active client being backed and the failed ones.
This has been so since I can remember.

Thanks Andy, as it happens I only have about 30 clients so it would have been manageable. But I guess its not possible.

Perhaps Symantec should consider this for the next version. I doesn't seem like it would take too much work to create a screen for this considering its practically there already


Thanks all
