Configuration of CmvltJobSmryTest

Jobs are placed in a job controller and run when resources are available. If the jobs in the job queue are not processed quickly, it would result in an overload condition characterized by long-winding job queues thus leading to the slowdown of the Commvault Backup server. In the event of such abnormalities, administrators will have to instantly figure out the count of jobs that are pending / queued / waiting. The CmvltJobSmryTest test helps administrators in this regard.

This test reports the total number of jobs executing on the target Commvault Backup server. In addition, this test reveals the number of jobs that are pending / waiting and those that are queued. Administrators can use this test to further analyze on why the jobs are pending / waiting in queue for a duration longer than usual.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the IP address of the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• By default, the eG agent executes CLI Commands on the target Commvault Backup server to collect the required metrics. For the eG agent to execute the CLI commands, a special user with monitoring privilege is required. Specify the credentials of such a user in the COMMVAULT ID and COMMVAULT PASSWORD text boxes.

• Confirm the password by retyping it here in the Confirm Password text box.

• By default, the CLI commands that need to be executed by the eG agent will be located within a folder called ‘Base’ within the install directory of the target Commvault Backup server. For the eG agent to execute the commands, specify the full path to the Base folder against the BASE INSTALLED LOCATION parameter. For example, the full path to the Base folder can be specified as: C:\\Program Files\\Commvault\\Contentstore\\Base.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
