Server Backup Manager Data Center Console allows you to monitor volume parameters on multiple Server Backup Managers at once from the Volumes window.
To monitor volumes:
In the Main menu, click Volumes. Server Backup Manager displays the Volumes window as shown in the following image.
Using the Volumes list
SBM displays a list of all volumes including the following columns:
- Status. Displays the volume status. For more information about the different volume statuses available, see Use Data Center Console Dashboard.
- Name. Displays the volume name. SBM uses the volume name to identify the volume in the system.
- Backup Manager. Displays the name/IP of the backup manager to which the current volume belongs.
Note
The backup manager name/IP is displayed in the form of a link. You can click the link for quick access to the backup manager.
- Quota Type. Displays the type of quota assigned to the volume. If no quota is defined for the volume, then Server Backup Manager displays a red icon. Set a quota to limit the disk usage of the volume. The limit is set for all disk safes in the volume on the basis of space occupied by the disk safes, the size of deltas, or the number of deltas.
Tip
You can define disk quotas in Configuration. For more information about configuring disk quotes, see Configure Manager Options.
- Soft Quota. Displays the warning quota value in bytes or deltas. The soft quota is a warning level that informs users that they are close to reaching their effective limit.
- Hard Quota. Displays the stopping quota value in bytes or in deltas. The hard quota allows you to store data in resources until you reach the Hard Quota. At that point, the system forbids generation of new recovery points. The replication is interrupted and failed.
- On Disk Size. Displays the disk space occupied by the volume in bytes.
- Deltas. Displays the byte value of data that changed since the last backup ran.
- Actions. Displays the list of actions available over the volume.
