Monitoring HPE StoreOnce Backup

eG Enterprise offers an exclusive HPE StoreOnce Backup monitoring model (see Figure 1), which keeps tabs on the backup and restore operations performed by the system, and reports deviations much before they impact the performance of the server as a whole, or the dependent service.

Figure 1 : The layer model of the HPE StoreOnce Backup

The metrics reported by the tests associated with the above-layers will accurately answer the following queries:

  • What is the current status and health of the target HPE StoreOnce Backup system?
  • What is the replication health of the target HPE StoreOnce Backup system?
  • What is the capacity of the target HPE StoreOnce Backup system?
  • How much of space is available for use in the target HPE StoreOnce Backup system?
  • What is the count of messages captured for each type of failure event?
  • What is the current status and health of the HPE StoreOnce Catalyst service?
  • What is the current status and health of each Virtual Tape Library?
  • What is the replication health of each Virtual Tape Library?
  • What is the amount of data stored before deduplication and after deduplication on each Virtual Tape Library?
  • How many drives and cartridges are assigned to each Virtual Tape Library?
  • What is the I/O processing capability of the Virtual Tape Libraries?
  • How many files and directories can be opened concurrently on the Virtual Tape Libraries?
  • How well the actual data and apparent data was transmitted from and received by the Virtual Tape Libraries for replication?
  • How may target and source replication sessions were established by the VTLs?
  • What is the current status and health of each NAS Share?
  • What is the replication health of each NAS Share?
  • What is the amount of data stored before deduplication and after deduplication on each NAS Share?
  • What is the I/O processing capability of the NAS Shares?
  • How many files and directories can be opened concurrently on the NAS Shares?
  • How well the actual data and apparent data was transmitted from and received by the NAS Shares for replication?

Since the Network layer has already been discussed elaborately in the Monitoring Windows and Unix Servers, let us discuss the rest of the layers in detail in the forthcoming sections.
