Measures reported by HPStOSharesTest
The HP StoreOnce Backup system is designed as the target storage for backup applications that need rapid restores and reduced backup windows. The target backup system offers flexibility to use Network-attached storage (NAS) targets in non-tape environments. The NAS target is a dedicated file storage that enables multiple users and heterogeneous client devices to retrieve data from centralized disk capacity. The NAS targets consist of one or more file shares that appear to the backup application as standard CIFS drive shares, while still supporting data deduplication, replication, flash storage and multiprotocol access. When using NAS targets, only files that are bigger than 24MB will be deduplicated. If the NAS suddenly becomes unavailable or stops abruptly, the data stored in that NAS Share may become inaccessible to the users. To ensure continuous availability of data, it is essential to monitor the status of each NAS share attached to the target HPE StoreOnce Backup system. The HPStOSharesTest test helps administrators in this regard!
This test auto-discovers the NAS shares attached to the target HPE StoreOnce Backup system and for each NAS share, this test reports the current status, health and replication health. Besides, this test also reports the amount of data that is stored before and after deduplication. Using this test, administrators can figure out the count of files and directories assigned to each NAS share. The detailed diagnostics reveals the replication role and deduplication ratio of each NAS share.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each NAS share attached to the HP StoreOnce Backup System that is being monitored.
