When you add your Exchange Server instances to IBM Storage® Protect Plus, an inventory is run automatically. However, you
can run an inventory on an Exchange application server manually at any time to detect updates and
list all of the Exchange databases for each instance.
Before you begin
Ensure that you added your Exchange instances to IBM Storage Protect Plus. For instructions about adding an Exchange
instance, see Adding an Exchange application server.
Procedure
-
In the navigation panel, expand .
-
Click Run Inventory.
When the inventory is running, the button label changes to Inventory In
Progress. You can run an inventory on any available application server, but you can run
only one inventory process at a time.
-
To monitor the inventory job, go to Jobs and Operations. Click the
Running Jobs tab, and look for the latest Application Server Inventory log
entry.
Completed jobs are shown on the Job History tab. You can use the Sort
By list to sort jobs based on start time, type, status, job name, or duration. Use the
Search by name field to search for jobs by name. You can use asterisks as
wildcard characters in the name.
-
When the inventory job is complete, on the Exchange Backup pane, click an
Exchange instance to open a view that shows the databases that are detected for that instance. If
any databases are missing from the Instances list, check your Exchange
application server and rerun the inventory.
Tip: To return to the list of instances, click the Instances
hypertext in the Exchange Backup pane.
