说明

Avamar v7 introduced the concept of client 'hard' and 'soft' quotas.

 
Hard Limits:
 
  • When a client breaches a hard limit, the Avamar Management Console Service (MCS) cancels the backup. 
  • The client log reports:
avtar Info <5314>: Command failed (1 warning, exit code 10019: externally cancelled by Administrator)

(The client has no concept of quotas as they are managed by the Avamar MCS). 

  • The backup activity's hard_quota_exceeded flag in the MCS Database (MCDB) activities table is tagged as true

 

  • The Activity monitor status shows 'Hard limit exceeded':

The Activity monitor reports 'Hard limit exceeded'.
 

 

To identify which clients have breached the hard limit:

 

There is a report filter to allow effective reporting of clients whose hard limit has been exceeded:

filter to allow effective reporting of clients whose hard limit has been exceeded

 -- Or --

Connect to the MCDB database and run an appropriate SELECT query:

psql -p 5555 mcdb -c "select client_name, completed_ts, bytes_scanned, bytes_new, bytes_modified_sent, hard_quota_exceeded from activities  where hard_quota_exceeded=true;"

 

Example output:

       client_name          |      completed_ts       |  bytes_scanned | bytes_new  | bytes_modified_sent | hard_quota_exceeded

Soft Limits:
 
  • When a client breaches a soft limit, the backups are allowed to run normally. 
  • There is no indication in the client logs of a quota breach
  • The Activity monitor does not report that the soft limit has been exceeded.
  • The activity report contains a column soft_quota_exceeded on the right:

    The activity report contains a column for soft_quota_exceeded at the far right hand side, however it is not currently possible to filter for this column and can only be manually sorted.
Note: It is not possible to filter for this column, the report must be manually sorted.
 
 

 

To identify which clients have breached the soft limit:

 

Sort the activity report using the soft_quota_exceeded column.

-- Or --

Connect to the MCDB database and run an appropriate SELECT query:

psql -p 5555 mcdb -c "select client_name, completed_ts, bytes_scanned, bytes_new, bytes_modified_sent, soft_quota_exceeded from activities where soft_quota_exceeded=true;"

 

Example output:

       client_name         |      completed_ts       | bytes_scanned | bytes_new  | bytes_modified_sent | soft_quota_exceeded
