Common asks of Backup Dashboards/Reporting?

Was the Backup SLA met?

How much data was transferred during backup?

How large is each protected data source?

(Root Cause) Problem with DPM or the protected server?

Distributed Application DPM Dashboard Best Practice:

If you have more than 1 DPM server monitor and manage in SCOM.

Limitations • DPM Console Only • Single DPM server • No data such as size transferred, total time of transfer Limitations • Some reports hard to read • Not easy to customize • No SLA’s

Improvements • SCOM Console • DPM Executive Summary Report • Dedup compression report ( Optional ) Improvements • Aggregates DPM servers • Backup SLA’s • Easy to build custom reports • New documented SQL views

To enable Reporting:

    

Need SCOM 2012 R2 deployed w/ DW working. DPM management packs must be imported to SCOM and central console must be deployed.

DPM 2012 R2 and Central console must be on UR5.

Must configure SLA’s on DPM servers using Set-DPMProtectionGroupSLA CMDLet to get SLA data in reports.

The FileServices MP is a pre-req of the DedupReporter MP.

To Build Custom Reports:

       

DPM Enhanced Reporting deployed.

Access to DPM SQL views.

Report builder tool.



Report Builder SQL Data Tools



Create data source Create a data set. Save report to SSRS.

Access via SCOM Reporting workspace.

DPM BaaS Components: Data Protection Manager Virtual Machine Manager Service Provider Foundation (SPF) Azure Pack DPM BaaS Resource Provider installed in Azure Pack

VM Clouds Resource Provider Windows Azure Pack VM Backup Resource Provider (BaaS) SPF SCVMM SPF Config DB SCOM VM Backup Config DB SCDPM Hyper-V Azure Backup HyperV11 HyperV12 HyperV13 HyperV...

Before implement BaaS you need:

• DPM Server/s • DPM agents on Hyper-V hosts / add additional DPM server to host agents

What can and admin do with BaaS?

• Add DPM server to group • Create plan using group, configuring the settings, and adding a VM Clouds service.

• Monitor ( Usage & Metering ) • Per VM or All Up: • Retention Days • Number of Restore Points • Size used

What can a tenant do with BaaS?

• Ability to add a VM to protection • Ability to backup a protected VM • Ability to restore a protected VM • Ability to remove a VM’s protection
