Report Selection (General)

CommCell Readiness Report

Use this dialog box to select the filter criteria to be included in the CommCell Readiness Report. The individual filter criteria are listed below.

On selection of Clients check:

Network

If you select the Network button, the system checks on network connectivity between the CommServe, the MediaAgents, and the selected clients. If data interface pairs are configured, and if connectivity between even one of the pair fails, the client is reported as "Not Ready."

For SRM, only network checks can be used as filter criteria. When selected, the system checks network connectivity between SRM Server (i.e., the CommServe) and SRM Clients.

Resource/Capacity

If you select the Resource/Capacity button, the system (1) checks the database to ensure that MediaAgents, libraries, and drive pools are online and (2) verifies that there is enough media/ Magnetic capacity (e.g., spare media, free space) at the library level and (3) performs a space check to determine whether or not the client and/or MediaAgent has adequate space for  normal operations.  Either button activates the Client tab from which you select the filter criteria for the clients and agents to be included in the CommCell Readiness Report.

On selection of Media Agents check:

Index Cache

If you select the Index Cache button, the system verifies the existence of the index cache location and checks the index cache label to see if the contents in the label are good on the selected MediaAgent's index cache. The MediaAgent(s) are selected for the CommCell Readiness Report via the Media Agent tab.

Show Failed Components Only

If you select the Show Failed Components Only button, then for whichever selection is chosen (Network, Resource/Capacity, and/or Index Cache), the system only displays the failed items (i.e., items “not ready”).

Include Disabled Clients

If you select the Include Disabled Clients button, this will display the clients, agents, or subclients that have Enable Data Management disabled in the Activity Control tab in their respective Properties dialog box. By default, the option is not selected and therefore, disabled clients are excluded.
