Monitoring IBM Spectrum Protect Plus servers
If your organization uses IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, you can monitor the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment from the Operations Center.
About this task
You can view high-level status information for IBM Spectrum Protect Plus servers that are connected to the Operations Center. The following categories of information are displayed in a dashboard view:
- A summary of job activities for a selected time period. You can view the percentages of backup, restore, and other jobs that succeeded and failed. From this summary information, you can go to more detailed information for each job type.
- A summary of the capacity and availability of vSnap servers, which are pools of disk storage. You can view the total disk capacity that is available to the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server through all of its vSnap servers. You can also view the available capacity for each vSnap server.
- A summary of service level agreement (SLA) policies that are defined on the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server. Because SLA policies define parameters for backup jobs, these policies are also known as backup policies. You can view the number of policies that have associated backup jobs. You can also view the percentage of resources that are protected by backup jobs, and the number of resources that are not protected. From this summary information, you can go to more detailed policy information.
