Volume Trend Report View

The Volume Trend Report is displayed in graph format showing the used space and free space capacity (in GB) for each volume, along with the anticipated trends during a future time period. The report lets you specify the view mode (Week, Month, Year, All (default), and Customized Time Range) for the displayed time period.

This report contains the following filters:

• Servers--Specifies All or specific nodes added from CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager.
• Groups--Specifies All or specific application types and names of the CA ARCserve Backup and CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager default and custom groups.
• Node Name--Specifies the name of the agent node or the member server for CA ARCserve Backup or the name of the CA ARCserve D2D node.
• Node Tier--Specifies the tier category for the nodes you want to monitor. This will filter all reports based upon the selected node tier.

  The Node tier field contains a drop-down menu listing each tier category to select from: High Priority, Medium Priority, and Low Priority.

  Note: The tier for CA ARCserve D2D nodes is Medium Priority.

• Forecast--Lets you select or manually enter the number of days for a forecasted time range (maximum number of days is 90).

This report lets you easily see the projected trends in capacity for each volume to help you plan for your future needs. The data from each volume category (Used Space and Free Space) is displayed as a separate line with a separate color and the projected data is displayed with a dotted line.

By default, the Volume Trend Report displays a drill-down report.

The following sample contains detailed information for the Volume Trend Report:

The drill-down report that includes the following:

• Server Name--Displays one of the following server names, based on the backup performed:

  • For CA ARCserve D2D nodes, the Server Name field displays the host name of the CA ARCserve D2D node where CA ARCserve D2D backup and file copy is performed.
• Node Name--Indicates the name of the agent node or the member server for CA ARCserve Backup or the name of the CA ARCserve D2D node.
• Mount Point--Indicates the root directory where the volumes are mounted.
• Volume Size (GB)--Indicates the volume size of the corresponding node.
• Used Space (GB)--Indicates the amount of used space on the corresponding node.
• Free Space (GB)--Indicates the amount of free space left on the corresponding node.
• Used Space Percentage--Indicates the percentage of used space on the corresponding node.

You can also select different volume combinations by checking more than one Node Name to display their accumulated size trends.

Note: You can drill into each column name to sort in ascending or descending order and have the option to view any of the columns on the screen. All columns are enabled by default.
