Virtual Machines view

The Virtual Machines view in the results pane shows the data protection status of each virtual machine (VM) in a cluster or host and the backup history for individual VMs.

You can enter all or part of a VM name in the Filter field to display only VMs with names that contain the text string. You can also click Refresh to refresh the contents in the tables.

VM table

At the top of the Virtual Machines view, you see the table of VMs in a host or cluster, and details about the last backup operation for each VM. The following data is shown in the table.

Table 1. Descriptions of columns in the VM table
Column	Description
Name	The name of the VM.
Host	When a cluster is selected in the navigation pane, the name of the current active host for the VM. If the VM status is Deleted, the host name is still shown. However, if the environment was upgraded from Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Version 8.1.2 or earlier, the field will be empty until VM backups are run with V8.1.7.
State	The state of the selected VM. A VM can have one of the following states: Off The VM is powered off. Running The VM is powered on and running. Paused The current state of the VM is preserved, but the memory that is allocated for the VM is still in use while the processor resources are freed. Saved The current state of the VM is preserved, but the memory that is allocated for the VM and the processor resources is freed. If no entry is shown, the VM was deleted from your environment, but the backup still exists on the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server.
Status	The data protection status of the VM. A VM can have one of the following protection status: At Risk The most recent backup operation did not occur within the time limit that is specified by the at-risk policy. No Backup The VM is configured for backup operations, but no backup has been run. Normal A backup operation occurred within the time limit that is specified by the at-risk policy. Ignored The at-risk policy is set to suppress at-risk warnings for the VM. Deleted The VM was deleted from the Hyper-V environment, but its backup is available to be restored. Instant Access The VM is running in instant access mode. An instant access VM is a temporary copy of a VM backup that is used for operations such as the verification of backup data.
Last Backup	The date of the last successful backup operation.
Data Transmitted	The amount of data that was sent to the IBM Spectrum Protect server during the backup operation.
Duration	The length of time it took to run the backup operation.
Backup Type	The type of backup operation that was run (full or incremental).
Schedule	The name of the schedule that ran during the last successful backup operation.

Backup History table

The Backup History table shows the details of previously scheduled or ad hoc backup tasks of a single virtual machine (VM) that you selected in the VM table. If you selected multiple VMs, no data is displayed in the Backup History table.

The number of backup tasks that are shown in the Backup History table depends on the number of days that are set by the SET EVENTRETENTION command on the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

The following data is shown in the table.

Table 2. Descriptions of columns in the Backup History table
Column	Description
Last Run Time	The actual start date and time of the last backup run.
Status	The status of the backup operation. Succeeded The backup operation was completed successfully. Failed The backup operation encountered an error and was not completed. In Progress A backup operation is in progress.
Duration	The duration of the backup operation.
Error Code	If a backup operation failed, an error code is shown. If the backup operation completed successfully, a zero (0) is displayed.
Data Transmitted	The amount of data that was sent to the IBM Spectrum Protect server during the backup operation.
Backup Type	The type of backup operation that was run for the VM: Incremental Backs up the blocks that changed since the last backup (full or incremental). Full Backs up a snapshot of an entire VM.
Backup Host	The host that contains the data mover for the VM when it was backed up. For clusters, this data mover host can change due to failover clustering.

Tasks table

The Tasks table shows a list of recent tasks that started since the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console was started.

You can also show detailed information about an active task. For more information, see Task Details.
