The utilization reports are SRM-type reports that can be used in conjunction with each other to collect different types of data from your Arcserve Backup protected servers. These reports can be used to help you analyze server performance and isolate problem areas.
The CPU Utilization Report displays the percentage of CPU usage for a Arcserve Backup protected server during a specified period of time. You can use this report to monitor CPU usage and make sure that it does not become overloaded too often. If your CPU usage is too high, your server response time may become very slow or unresponsive and you should consider spreading out (balancing) your load. If your CPU usage is too low, you may want to consider server consolidation or virtualization to maximize your hardware usage.
The Disk Performance Report displays the disk throughput for a Arcserve Backup protected server during a specified period of time. You can use this report to monitor disk throughput and make sure that you are maximizing your disk capability. If your disk throughput is far less than the disk capabilities, you may not need the excessive capabilities of that particular disk and should consider downgrading to a more efficient disk to better match your needs. If your disk throughput is close to the maximum value that your disk can handle, you should consider upgrading to a disk that better matches your needs. Generally a faster disk leads to better performance.
The Memory Utilization Report displays the percentage of memory in use on your Arcserve Backup protected servers during a specified period of time. Utilization is how much of your memory capacity you are using. The higher the percentage the worse your server performance will be. If your memory utilization continually becomes too high, you need to determine which process is causing this high usage. You can use this report to determine when a application or server upgrade may be necessary.
The Network Utilization Report displays the percentage of NIC bandwidth you are currently using on your Arcserve Backup protected servers during a specified period of time. Utilization is how much of your network interface (or NIC) capacity you are using. The higher the percentage the worse your network performance will be. If your network utilization continually becomes too high, you need to determine which process is causing this high usage and remedy the problem.
In addition, if based on your specific network capacity the percentage of your network utilization is too high during backup time, you may need to upgrade your NIC card to handle the higher throughput requirements. If your network utilization is too low, you may want to consider server consolidation or virtualization to maximize your hardware usage.
