Re: How to tell what VM's are running backup in TSM for VE 7.1?

2015-04-25 Thread McWilliams, Eric
Whenever I open vCenter it shows all of the activities going on at the bottom 
of the screen.  I don't know how your vCenter view is set up.

Eric, can you point me to where exactly in the vCenter web gui I can see this?
Thanks,

The only thing I've found that shows me what jobs are currently running is in 
vCenter.

Thanks to everyone who responded, but from what I'm seeing, none of these 
queries show me which VM's are currently backing up?  Completed/fail, yes.  
When I have 20-30 concurrent nodes running, and someone wants to know exactly 
which ones are running, I'm at a loss.  Obviously VE must know, why isn't the 
info exposed somewhere obvious?
Very frustrating.

This is close.  I check time stamps to identify failures.  The time stamp could 
also indicate a backup in progress.

select substr(filespace_name,9,18) as VM, filespace_id as FSID, cast(backup_end 
as char(19) ) as Backup Completed from filespaces where 
node_name='VC1_CH2_DM' order by 3

Subject: [ADSM-L] How to tell what VM's are running backup in TSM for VE 7.1?

Running into some issues troubleshooting VE backups and hopefully I just don't 
know where to look.
I came in this morning and was surprised to find that one of my datamovers was 
still running a schedule.
There were 2 sessions in TSM, but of course they were using the datacenter name 
so I had no idea what was running, or what was still waiting to run.
So what do I use to gain visibility into a running VE schedule?
I want to know:

1.   What is running

2.   What has completed

3.   What is waiting to run
I tried deciphering it from dsmsched.log, but gave up looking for those needles 
in that haystack.
I also went to the VE web UI hoping reports/recent tasks would help, but 
nothing showed up there.
Surely there is some easy way to do this simple task that I have overlooked in 
the manual?

Hi Steve, 

There will be snapshot creation message for each Virtual machine backup and 
once backup got completed then it will create another entry for snapshot 
deletion in Vcenter task log. You can use this task log to identify latest 
backup.
