Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Monitoring and verifying Virtual Machine recoveries

After selecting Run Recovery to complete the Recovery wizard, there are multiple ways you can monitor the progress of the virtual machine recovery, and then verify when the recovery is complete.

NMC Recover and Monitoring windows

To monitor the progress of the virtual machine recovery, use the Recover sessions pane in the Monitoring window, or the Currently Running pane of the Recover window.

To verify that the virtual machine recovery is complete, use the Configured Recovers pane in the Recover window.

Check the Recovery results in the NMC Recovery wizard

The final step of the Recovery wizard also allows you to check the recovery results. Upon completion of the virtual machine recovery, an entry for the log file appears in the Recovery log pane. Click Export log to save and view the log file.

Recovery configuration information storage

When you create a recover configuration by using the Recovery wizard, NetWorker saves the configuration information in an NSR recover resource in the resource database of the NetWorker server. NetWorker uses the information in the NSR recover resource to perform the recover job operation.

When a recover job operation starts, NetWorker stores:

  • Details about the job in the nsrjobsd database.
  • Output sent to stderr and stdout in a recover log file. NetWorker creates one log file for each recover job.
    NOTE:NetWorker removes the recover log file and the job information from the job database based on value of the Jobsdb retention in hours attribute in the properties of the NetWorker server resource. The default jobsdb retention is 72 hours.
