DEPLOYMENT PROJECTSVeeam ONE Reporter deployment projects allow you to predict future resource utilization and planresource reservations in your virtual environment.

With deployment projects, you can run complex simulation tasks to predict the effects of:

Adding or evicting hosts in a cluster

Adding new VMs or decommissioning existing VMs

Deployment projects compare the projected resource capacities against the future resource demand,help identify potential resource shortages and provide practical recommendations that anadministrator should undertake to succeed with the actual deployment.

For example, you can simulate how many VMs similar to an existing SQL Server can be added in acluster without the risk of causing resource contention or degraded cluster performance. Deploymentprojects can be helpful in assessing various hardware replacement scenarios or forecasting theamount of compute and storage resources that need to be provisioned.

Deployment Projects and Scenarios

Each deployment project includes a specific simulation scenario. A simulation scenario describes whatamount of resources must be added to or evicted from the managed environment.

In simulation scenarios, you can:

Select an existing host or a VM and use it as a baseline model to calculate the effects ofadding or evicting resources

Explicitly specify host or VM configuration

Simulation scenarios can be targeted at a host or cluster, termed container — a recipient node thatwill undergo the capacity changes and whose future performance and resource utilization will be

assessed.

Condition for Acceptance

The deployment project is considered successful if future resource utilization and performancemetrics do not breach the designated thresholds that define the maximum tolerable resource load. The thresholds are preset and can be customized if necessary.

Tentatively successful projects (projects completed with warnings) will cause the metrics to breachthe thresholds but stay beyond 100 percent of resource utilization (for example, memory usageexceeding a 90 percent threshold but being less than 100 percent).

Calculation Background

Resource availability and performance modelling is based on comparing future demand for resourcesagainst the projected resource capacity. The following factors are used in the analysis:

Current compute capacities

Additional capacities introduced through adding new host(s) or evicting VM(s)

Withdrawn compute capacities through evicting host(s)

Extra capacities required to run new VM(s)




The following algorithms are employed to forecast workloads:

When a new VM is added, it is assumed that the VM will use all its provisioned resources.

When an existing VM is selected as a baseline model, Veeam ONE will use the average valueof the VM resource consumption during the current week.

When calculating the amount of free space, Veeam ONE verifies that there is sufficient

storage capacity for all virtual disks of the VM.

Deployment Project Interdependencies

You can create several simulation scenarios that describe complex conditions, such as introducingnew/decommissioning existing hosts or VMs in the same container, at the same time. You can alsocreate deployment scenarios with overlapping due dates.

When you create a new deployment project or make changes in the existing deployment project,Veeam ONE checks is there any overlapping project. If there are changes that might affect theconcurrent project, Veeam ONE will prompt you to recalculate the overlapping projects.

Limitations

Deployment Projects are not supported in Veeam ONE deployments that use Microsoft SQL Server2005 to host the Veeam ONE database. I n such configurations, the All deployment projects menuwill not be accessible in the Workspace section of Veeam ONE Reporter.




Getting Started with Deployment ProjectsA typical workflow for creating a deployment project includes the following steps:

1. Create a new deployment project, specify its settings and add simulation scenarios .

2. Check the effective thresholds and modify their values if necessary .

Deployment Project StatesVeeam ONE Deployment projects may have one of the following states.

Needs to be calculated

The state indicates that project calculation is pending. Remediation action is to build the project. Fordetails, see Building Deployment Projects .

Needs to be recalculated

The state is assigned if the project settings have changed, or changes in a concurrent project affectthe project. Remediation action is to build the project. For details, see Building Deployment Projects .

Failed

The state indicates that the project simulation has completed but the deployment cannot beexecuted successfully due to anticipated resource constraints.

The deployment simulation analysis has concluded that it is impossible to place the desired numberof hosts and/or VMs without causing the future resource utilization to exceed 100 percent on any ofthe performance metrics.

Remediation action is to change view the project report and change the project settings inaccordance with the report recommendations. For details, see Viewing Deployment Project Report and Modifying Deployment Projects .

Passed with Warnings

This state indicates that the deployment is feasible but will cause the resource utilization to breach thethreshold values. However, the threshold values will not reach 100 percent.

Remediation action is to change view the project report and change the project settings inaccordance with the report recommendations. For details, see Viewing Deployment Project Report and Modifying Deployment Projects .

Passed

Reports included :

Datastore Performance Assessment

VM Change Rate Estimation

VM Configuration Assessment




Datastore Performance Assessment

This report analyzes datastore performance and detects whether your datastores can sustain thecurrent workload.

Assessment Results table shows the number of hosts connected to each datastore includedin the report scope, the number of VMs that store data on the datastores, the number of

virtual disks, and the average latency/IOPS values for each datastore. The report also providesrecommendations on actions to be taken to meet the defined parameters.

TOP Datastores by Latency , TOP Datastores by IOPS , BOTTOM Datastores by Latency and BOTTOM Datastores by IOPS charts show 5 most and least loaded datastores in termsof the highest and the lowest IOPS and latency values.

The details section shows performance charts with IOPS and latency statistics for each datastore, anddetails tables with latency and IOPS values for every host connected to the datastore.

Use Case Veeam Backup & Replication v8 introduced Backup I/O Control, a new capability that allows you todefine latency and IOPS thresholds for any datastore:

The Stop assigning new tasks to datastore at setting means that when the backup server isassigning a proxy for the virtual disk, it will now take latency (IOPS) into consideration, and

the backup job will wait for the datastore to become free before starting the backup.




The Throttle I/O existing tasks at setting is designed for situations when a backup job isalready running and latency becomes an issue due to an external load. For example, if a SQLmaintenance process were to start running in a VM using the same datastore as the backup job, then the backup job will automatically throttle its read I/O from the datastore so thatlatency drops below the specified threshold.

The report helps you assess current load on your datastores and make sure that by specifying the

certain thresholds in Veeam Backup & Replication you maximize possible backup performance whileminimizing the impact on production workloads.

The details table provides information on total and daily amount of changes for each VM.

Tip: Click a VM name in the details table to drill down to performance statistics on write operations foreach connected virtual disk of the VM.




Use Case To perform incremental backup, Veeam Backup & Replication needs to know which data blocks havechanged since the previous job run. The number of changed blocks reflects the amount of datawritten to the virtual disk.

Veeam Backup & Replication gathers this information to calculate the amount of new data that needsto be backed up. The more changes occur on the virtual disk, the larger amount of space is required tostore data on target repositories. This report helps you assess future needs for repository free space.

Backup Copy Job

The main backup purpose is to protect your data against disasters and VM failures. Having only onecopy of a backup file does not provide the necessary level of safety. To build a successful dataprotection and disaster recovery plan, you must have at least one independent copy of a backup fileoffsite, for example, in the remote site. To optimize data transfer between remote sites over the WAN,Veeam Backup & Replication offers the WAN acceleration technology.

To learn more about the 3-2-1 backup strategy and WAN acceleration, see the Veeam Blog article andVeeam Help Center .

This report analyzes amount of traffic transmitted to target repository by backup copy jobs, evaluatesthe efficiency of backup data transfer through WAN accelerators and estimates the amount of networktraffic savings.

The report output includes three charts and provides details on traffic usage:

Traffic Efficiency (GB) chart shows the actual amount of traffic read from the sourcedatastore and the amount of traffic transmitted over the network to the target repository.

Traffic Savings by Day (GB) chart shows the amount of traffic saved on each day of thereporting interval (that is, the difference between the amount of read traffic and the amountof transferred traffic).

Saving Ratio by Day chart shows daily fluctuations in the raw data to traffic savings ratio.

The Accelerator Details table provides details for each pair of WAN accelerators used by backup copy jobs: number of restore points transferred, amount of data read from the source repository, actualamount of data transferred to the target repository and amount of saved traffic.

The Job Details table provides detailed information on job sessions, restore points transferred by thepair of WAN accelerators, original backup file sizes, actual amount of data transferred, amount ofsaved traffic and savings ratio.

Backup Infrastructure Assessment

This report evaluates how optimally your backup infrastructure is configured and suggests actionsaimed at boosting its efficiency.

The report analyzes configuration of your virtual environment against a set of recommended baselinesettings and implementations, identifies VMs that cannot be properly backed up due to configuration

limitations, verifies problem areas and helps mitigate the issues.

Note: This report is available for VMware vSphere environments only.




Job Performance Optimization


Parallel virtual diskprocessing

The report searches for Veeam Backup servers that do not have the Enableparallel VM and virtual disk processing option enabled.

In version 6.5 and earlier, VMs and VM disks used to be processed one by onewithin the same job. That is, the tasks of the job were accomplishedsequentially and each task meant one VM disk being processed.

Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication 7.0, multiple VMs and VM disks canbe processed in parallel, optimizing your backup infrastructure performanceand increasing the efficiency of resource usage.

Virtual stand-by proxy server

The report analyzes your virtual infrastructure to find virtual backup proxyservers.

For data retrieval, Veeam Backup & Replication offers the Virtual Appliancemode. The mode can only be used if the backup proxy is deployed on a VM.

The Virtual Appliance mode uses the SCSI hot-add capability of ESX(i) hosts toattach disks of the backed up VM to the backup proxy VM. In this mode, VM

data is retrieved directly from storage through the ESX(i) I/O stack, instead ofgoing through the network stack, which improves performance.

Proxy server on the remotesite

The report analyzes your virtual infrastructure to find backup proxy servers onthe remote site.

Storing backups offsite always involves moving large volumes of databetween remote sites. To solve the problem of insufficient networkbandwidth to support VM data traffic and optimize data transfer over theWAN, it is recommended to deploy a proxy server on the remote site.

Direct SAN access iSCSIperformance tweaks

The report analyzes your infrastructure to find backup proxies configured touse the Direct SAN Access mode working with iSCSI storage.

The Direct SAN Access mode is recommended if the ESX(i) host uses sharedstorage. The backup proxy leverages VADP to retrieve VM data directly fromFC or iSCSI storage in the Storage Area Network (SAN). To retrieve data blocksfrom SAN LUN, the backup proxy uses metadata about the layout of VM diskson the SAN. Since data blocks are not retrieved over the Local Area Network(LAN), this mode minimizes disruptions to your production network duringbackup.

Meeting Backup Window

The report analyzes job sessions to find jobs whose duration exceeds thedefined backup window.

If job duration exceeds the backup window and the bottleneck is a proxy, thereport will provide recommendations to deploy more proxies.

Backup job processing modeoptimizations

The report analyzes job statistics to find bottlenecks in the data flow.

As any backup application handles a great amount of data, it is important tomake sure the data flow is efficient and all resources engaged in the backupprocess are optimally used. To identify a bottleneck in the data path, VeeamBackup & Replication detects the component with the maximum workload:that is, the component that works for the most time of the job.

In case the report discovers that a backup proxy is the weakest component inthe data flow, it is recommended to deploy additional proxy servers.




Backup Infrastructure Configuration


VMs failed over to network

processing mode

The report analyzes your virtual infrastructure to find VMs that failed over tothe Network Processing mode.

The Network Processing mode can be used with any infrastructureconfiguration. However, when an alternative transport mode is applicable,the Network mode is not recommended because of the lowest data retrievalspeed.

Backup server protection

The report analyzes your virtual infrastructure to find backup servers that donot run configuration backups on their database.

If a Veeam backup server fails, you can re-deploy the Veeam backup server,restore configuration data for the Veeam backup server from the backup andapply it to the re-built server. Alternatively, you can apply configuration datato any other Veeam backup server in your backup infrastructure. In terms ofconfiguration, you get a replica of the Veeam backup server you had, withoutadditional adjustments and fine-tuning.

SQL Server optimization

The report analyzes Veeam Backup & Replication databases hosted on SQLServer Express instances to check whether these instances need to beupgraded to the full version of SQL Server.

If the amount of data stored in Veeam Backup & Replication databasesexceeds SQL Server Express capabilities, it may cause slow operation of theVeeam Backup & Replication console.

Repository free space The report analyzes your virtual infrastructure to find repositories that haverun out of free space.

Storage latency control

The report searches for jobs that do not have the Enable storage latencycontrol option enabled.

Storage latency control should be enabled in the Veeam Backup &

Replication console to ensure that running jobs do not impact storageavailability to production workloads.

Tip: Click a criterion in the output table to drill down to recommendations for resolving the issue.

Use Case The size and complexity of modern geographically disperse backup infrastructures makes it difficult tomanage and optimize them.

Following the report recommendations, backup administrators can improve job configuration andimplement the necessary hardware and software optimizations. This will help you attain betterefficiency, lower resource consumption and expedite backup time.

Capacity Planning for Backup Repositories

This report estimates the amount of free space available on backup repository(ies) and forecasts howmany days remain before the repository will run out of available storage capacity.

Backup repositories tend to run out of free space when outdated restore points overload thedatastore. This report helps you ensure there is enough space for your backup data at any point in

time. The report also provides recommendations on how to adjust the allocated storage resources inorder to meet the future demand for backup storage. Furthermore, it calculates the amount ofadditional space that needs to be provisioned to accommodate the necessary restore points.

To calculate future repository performance, the report analyzes historical performance data for theprevious 90 days, calculates the performance utilization trend and applies this trend to the safetyinterval (that is, the selected number of days during which the specified threshold should not bebreached). This helps you rationally plan your resources.

Top 5 Utilized Repositories (GB) and Top 5 Repositories by Days Left charts display 5repositories that will run out of free space sooner than other repositories and the number ofdays left before space usage level on these repositories breaches the specified threshold.

Details table provides information on the total repository capacity, number of VMs in

backups stored on the repository and the number of days left before the repository runs outfree space.




Tip: Click a repository name in the Details table to drill down to the list of jobs that utilize the backuprepository storage capacity.

Use Case The report allows you to analyze configuration and space usage on backup repositories and toforecast how many days remain before the repository reaches its full capacity.

VM Change Rate History

This report allows you to track backup and replication jobs whose backup files and replica VMs growtoo fast and may quickly consume storage space on the target repository or target datastore.

VMs with Largest Change Rate (GB) and VMs with Least Change Rate (GB) charts displaysthe most and least active VMs in terms of the amount of data changes that occurred on their

virtual disks. Details table provides information on the list of VMs included in the backup and replication

jobs, the average and aggregate amount of data changes that took place during the specifiedreporting interval and the size of the current full backup file*.

Use Case To perform incremental backup, Veeam Backup & Replication needs to know which data blocks havechanged since the previous job run. For VMware VMs with hardware version 7 or later, Veeam Backup& Replication employs VMware vSphere Changed Block Tracking (CBT) — a native VMware featurethat backs up only the list of VM blocks that have changed since the last run of this particular job. Useof CBT reduces backup session duration, and increases the speed and efficiency of block-levelincremental backups.




The report analyzes changes occurred on VM disks and estimates the amount of changed data. Thiscan help you decide whether to allocate more space on the target repository or datastore in case VMfiles grow too fast.


Scope (VMware VM folders) : defines a list of VMware folders to include in the report (applies toVMware vSphere environments only). VM folders is an alternate way to present the virtualinfrastructure.

time interval required to produce a VM backup.For each VM included in several jobs, the details table provides information on the list of backup jobsin which the VM is included, repository names, the average processing time, the number of restorepoints created for the VM, the size of backup files and the last time the jobs ran.

Use Case The reason why some VMs may appear to be backed up by several jobs at a time can be a lack ofcoordination between several backup operators or the capability to include logical containers (vApps,resource pools, folders) in backup jobs. Both issues can cause repositories to run out of free space dueto excessive duplicated backup files.

The report allows you to assess efficiency of the backup process and decide whether to reconfigureexisting backup jobs so that they utilize fewer resources and complete in narrower intervals. This




report ensures that all critical VMs are reliably protected while no redundant jobs exist across thebackup environment.



Job Type : defines a job type that should be evaluated (backup, replication or both).

Exclusion Job List : defines a list of backup and replication jobs to exclude from the report.




VMs with no Archive Copy

The main backup purpose is to protect your data against disasters and VM failures. Having only onecopy of a backup file does not provide the necessary level of safety. To build a successful dataprotection and disaster recovery plan, you must have at least three copies of your data, for example,production data, backup and its copy, and two different types of media to store copies of your data,for example, disk storage and tape.

To learn more about the 3-2-1 backup strategy, see the Veeam Blog article How to follow the 3-2-1backup rule with Veeam Backup & Replication .

This report analyzes your backup infrastructure to find VMs that do not have backup copies archivedto tapes.

The VMs by Archive Status and VMs per Backup Location charts display the number of VMs with 1or 2 archived copies and the repositories where backups are stored.

The details table shows properties of each protected VMs and provides details on the location of aprimary and secondary VM copy, availability of tape backups for the listed VMs and the date of themost recent VM backup.

Performance Assessment




Configuration Assessment

The report analyzes configuration of the Hyper-V infrastructure against a set of recommended settingsand best practices, identifies clusters, hosts and\or VMs that are configured inefficiently and verifiesproblem areas to help mitigate issues and prepare VMs for backup with Veeam Backup & Replication.

Verification Results chart displays the share of failed and passed verification tests, and tests

that completed with warnings. Assessment Criteria table lists criteria used in the report to assess the Hyper-V infrastructure,

and shows the assessment results.

Optimization tables show detailed assessment result for each criterion and providesrecommendations on how to improve infrastructure configuration.




The report takes into account the following criteria when analyzing Hyper-V configuration:

Cluster Optimization


Hosts use same CPUvendors/models

The report analyzes cluster configuration to make sure clusters include hostswith CPUs of the same vendors.

A cluster that includes hosts with CPUs from different vendors may notoperate correctly when you perform some tasks in Veeam Backup &Replication. For example, migration or restore of VMs to a host with adifferent processor may fail as some applications only run on processors of aspecific vendor.

Hosts are updated equally

The report verifies that hosts in a cluster have the same Hyper-V versioninstalled.

When hosts in a cluster have different Hyper-V versions installed, it may causecompatibility issues and unexpected errors.

Storage controllers are ofthe same vendors

The report analyzes cluster configuration to verify that storage controllersinstalled on hosts are of the same vendor.

If you have storage controllers of different vendors on hosts in a cluster, youmay experience unexpected errors and failures.

NICs compatibility

The report analyzes cluster configuration to verify whether NIC cards within acluster are of the same vendor.

Incompatible NIC cards may cause issues during backup and restoreoperations in a cluster.




Host Optimization


Host is not running on abalanced power plan

The report analyzes host configuration to verify whether hosts in theinfrastructure are running on a balanced power plan.

The Balanced power plan is the default power plan in Windows operatingsystems. However, to increase host efficiency, you are recommended usingthe High Performance power plan.

No RDP printers mapped

The report analyzes your infrastructure to verify that there are no RDPmapped printers on hosts.

Printers mapped via RDP may not work efficiently and may cause unexpectederrors and failures. You can disable RDP printer mapping through a grouppolicy.

Virtual CPUs/Logical CPUsratio

The report analyzes the infrastructure to verify that maximum vCPU per hostCPU core ratio is below the specified value. The default ratio is 8.

If CPU configuration is not balanced, VMs may not obtain enough processorresources. For information on how to measure processor performance, seeMicrosoft MSDN article .

VM Optimization


Checkpoint redirection

The report analyzes the infrastructure to determine whether snapshots onVMs are not saved to Local Disk (C).

Snapshot redirection may slow down VM backup. For better backupexperience with Veeam Backup and replication, make sure there are noredirected checkpoints.

Integration Services state

The report analyzes your infrastructure to verify that all Integration Serviceson VMs in the infrastructure are enabled.

Integration Services participate in application-aware image processing duringbackup in Veeam Backup & Replication. To use application-aware imageprocessing efficiently, enable Integration Services.

Hyper-V VSS Requestorstate

The report analyzes the infrastructure to identify the state of VSS Requestoron VMs.

If VSS Requestor is not started on a VM, this may cause issues during backupas VSS services will not be able to create a shadow copy and prepare data forbackup.

If the state of VSS Requestor on a VM is Started/Automatic or

Started/Automatic (Delayed Start) , the report will show the Success verification result. In other cases, the verification result will be Warning .

No Checkpoints used

The report analyzes the virtual infrastructure to find VMs with existingcheckpoints.

To use Veeam Changed Block Tracking for incremental backup, you mustremove snapshots.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc768535(v=bts.10).aspx







No VMs on datastores withless than 10% of free space

The report analyzes the Hyper-V infrastructure to find datastores that haveless than 10% of free space.

During backup Veeam Backup & Replication triggers a checkpoint that isnormally stored next to VM files on the source datastore. To eliminate theproblem of datastores running low on free space during backup, it is requiredthat the free space is more than 10%.

Use Case This report shows a list of clusters, hosts and VMs in your virtual environment that could experiencepotential issues during backup, gets guidance on how to resolve these issues.



Assessment type : defines types of objects to analyze in the report.

Interval/Interval Type : defines the time period to analyze in the report. Note that the reportingperiod must include at least one data collection session for the selected scope. Otherwise, the reportwill contain no data.

Power Off Percent : defines the threshold for the amount of time when a VM was powered off againstthe amount of time in the reporting period (in percentage). If the time during which a VM waspowered off is less than the specified value in percent, the report will not analyze this VM.




Undersized VMs

This report allows you to identify VMs that have less allocated resources such as vRAM or vCPU thanthey require.

The report collects and analyzes historical performance and configuration over a specified period todeliver recommendations for an optimized VM configuration and resource allocation.

Tip: Click a VM in the details table to drill down to VM performance charts that show how CPU andmemory usage has been changing during the reporting period.

Use Case This report uses the specified parameters to identify VMs with insufficient CPU and memory resources. The report delivers detailed information on detected VMs and suggests recommendations for betterresource allocation. You may consider adding the specified amount of resources for the VM, relocatingthe VM to a more powerful host, or adding more resources for undersized VM.




CPU usage, more than : defines the CPU utilization threshold in percent. If the CPU usage value for aVM exceeds the specified threshold, the VM will be included in the report.




Memory pressure, more than : defines the memory utilization threshold in percent. If the memoryusage value for a VM exceeds the specified threshold, the VM will be included in the report. Thisparameter may be applied only to VMs with dynamic memory.

Physical memory, more than : defines the threshold for total VM storage capacity. If VM memorycapacity exceeds the threshold, this VM will be analyzed in the report.


Note: Veeam ONE Reporter checks whether the CPU ready and Swap out rate conditions are true at thesame, and then whether CPU Usage and Memory Usage conditions are true at the same time (inother words, the conditions in each pair are joined by Boolean “AND”).

Then Veeam ONE Reporter checks whether a pair of these conditions is true, in other words, pairs ofthese conditions are joined by Boolean “OR”.

Capacity Planning






Capacity Planning

The report analyzes performance for the specified time period in the past to predict when you will runout of CPU, memory, datastore resources.

Summary section shows virtual infrastructure inventory (the total number of hosts,datastores and VMs included in the report), predicts how many days remain until resource

usage values reach the specified thresholds, and provides recommendations on requiredresources.

The Top 5 Utilized Clusters and Standalone Host table displays objects that will run out ofCPU or memory resources sooner than others. It shows the bottleneck parameter for eachobject and its average usage. This data is used to predict how many days are left before theobject reaches the threshold.

Some values in the table may be highlighted with red. If a value in the Average Usage column is highlighted with red, the resource usage value has reached the specified threshold. The Days Remaining value is highlighted with red if the number of days left until theparameter reaches the threshold is less than 183 (6 months).

Details section provides host hardware configuration, resource usage data, and performance

forecasts. It also delivers recommendations on how to maintain resource utilization valuesbelow the specified thresholds.





This report allows you both to simulate a failure of one or more hosts, and forecast CPU and memoryusage for Hyper-V clusters.

Summary section provides an overview of the current state of your infrastructure (the totalnumber of clusters, hosts, volumes, and VMs) and shows recommendations on resource

allocation. Modelling Results charts display the amount of CPU and memory resources left and lost in

case of a host failure. The VMs Migration Count chart shows the number of VMs that will needto be relocated to another host ( VMs to Migrate) and the number of VMs that will operate asusual ( Unaffected VMs) in case of a host failure.

Details table provides details on CPU and memory current and predicted utilization for allclusters included in the report.

Recommendations section provides recommendations for the resource(s) whose utilizationthreshold(s) will be breached.




Tip: Click a cluster name in the Details table to drill down to details on current and predicted resourceusage for the cluster.

TOP 5 Over-provisioned Datastores chart shows 5 disks whose amount of provisioned

storage space exceeds the total capacity. TOP 5 Under-provisioned Datastores chart shows 5 disks whose amount of provisioned

storage space is way below the total capacity.

TOP 5 Datastores with Least Amount of Free Space table displays top 5 disks that will runout of free space sooner than other disks.

For each disk included in the report, the Details tables provide information on storage spaceutilization and the number of days left before the specified space utilization/free space threshold willbe breached. Arrows in the Out of Free Space in … (Days) column show whether the amount of freespace on the disk has increased (green arrow), decreased (red arrow) or stayed the same (blue arrow)over the previous week.




Tip: Click a number in the VM Count column of the TOP 5 Datastores with Least Amount of FreeSpace table or of the Details table to get the list of VMs that store data on the disk and to discoverhow much space is provisioned for these VMs.

APPENDICES The chapter includes the following appendices:

Appendix A. Scheduling Script Examples

Appendix B. Custom Charts for Report-Based Widgets

Appendix A. Scheduling Script Examples To facilitate the process of dashboards and report creation, you can schedule automatic delivery ofdashboards and reports. As one of the delivery options, Veeam ONE Reporter allows you to writecreated dashboards and reports to a folder on a hard drive or to a network share. To learn aboutscheduling dashboards and reports, see Scheduling Dashboards and Scheduling Reports .

If you need to perform further manipulations with the saved files, you can configure Veeam ONEReporter to you run a custom script after reports and dashboards are saved to the target folder.Veeam ONE Reporter allows you to use .BAT , .CMD , .VBS , .JS , .WSF , .EXE , .VBE , .JSE , .WSH , .PSC1 scripts.

You can pass the following parameters to post-delivery scripts:

Parameter Description

%ReportName% Name of the generated report.

%ReportFolder% Target folder to which created reports are saved (as specified in the Path field).

%JobName% Name of the scheduling job that generates reports.

“-hidden”

Defines whether it is necessary to open created VMR reports with the

Veeam Report Viewer. If the parameter is specified, the reports will not beopened.

This section explains how to use post-delivery scripts and contains simple script examples.




Example A. Copying a Report to Network SharesConsider the following scenario: your backup administrators want to obtain a weekly report with thelist of protected VMs in your virtual environment.

To deliver the Protected VMs report to backup administrators on a weekly basis, you should take thefollowing steps:

1. Save the Protected VMs report with the necessary parameters .

2. Create a script that will copy the report to network shares of backup administrators .

3. Set the necessary schedule for the report and specify the post-delivery script .

Step 1. Save a Report

Save the Protected VMs report with the necessary parameters as described in Saving Reports .

Step 2. Create a Script

When you schedule a report delivery to a folder or a network share, Veeam ONE Reporter saves thegenerated report to a target location by the following path:

<TargetDirectory>\reporting-task-for-ssrs-report-<ReportName><ID>\

The sample script must perform the following operations after the report is created:

1. Access the target report location:

C:\reports\reporting-task-for-ssrs-report-<ReportName><ID>\

2. Copy the report from the target location to network shares:

\\andy\shared\backups\reports\

\\brian\shared\backups\reports\

\\chris\shared\backups\reports\

3. Remove the report from the target location and delete the target directory.

An example of the script is provided below:

::Changing directory to the target report location cd reporting-task-for-ssrs-report* set RD=%cd%

::Copying the report from the target location to admins’ shares xcopy Protected*.* \\andy\shared\backups\reports\*.* /y xcopy Protected*.* \\brian\shared\backups\reports\*.* /y xcopy Protected*.* \\chris\shared\backups\reports\*.* /y

::Removing the target report location cd ..\ rd %RD% /s/q

Save the script as a Windows batch file on the machine where Veeam ONE is installed.

To follow this example, save the script with the postdelivery.bat name to the C:\reports\directory.

Step 3. Configure Scheduling Settings

Before scheduling report delivery, make sure that:

The account under which the Veeam ONE Reporter Server service runs has appropriate writepermissions on the destination network shares.

Collection session that gathers data from virtual servers, vCloud Director, and Veeam Backup& Replication servers completes before the scheduled report generation time.




Configure scheduling settings for the saved report as follows:

1. In Veeam ONE Reporter, open the Workspace section.

2. Click the saved report in the list to open its properties.


4. In the Scheduling Report Administration window, click Add to create a new schedule.

5. In the Scheduling window, configure automatic delivery settings as follows:

a. Click the Schedule on link and create a schedule according to which the reportshould be generated. To follow this example, schedule the report to run on aweekly basis.

b. Click the Recipient link.c. In the Select Recipient window, click Advanced .

d. In the Advanced window, specify advanced scheduling options. In the Path field,enter the path to the folder where the generated report will be stored. In the FileName field, specify the location of the script file. To follow this example, enter C:\reports in the Path field and enterC:\reports\postdelivery.bat in the File Name field.




6. Save the scheduling settings.

The report will be generated and copied in accordance with the specified schedule.

At the specified schedule time, Veeam ONE Reporter will automatically generate the report. After thereport is created, Veeam ONE Reporter will trigger the script that will copy the report to networkshares.




Example B. Sorting Reports by NameConsider the following scenario: you want to schedule a weekly delivery for a set of reports. After thereports are created, you want to save each report to a separate folder with the report name.

To sort reports into folders by report name, you can take the following steps:

1. Create a folder that will group a set of necessary reports .

2. Save reports with the necessary parameters into the folder .

3. Create a script that will sort the generated reports .

4. Set the necessary schedule for the folder and specify the post-delivery script .

Step 1. Create a Folder

Create a report folder as described in section Creating Folders . The folder will be used to group a set ofreports that you want to create on a scheduled basis.

Step 2. Save Reports

Save reports with the necessary parameters as described in section Saving Reports .

Step 3. Create a Script

When you schedule a report delivery for set of reports in a folder, Veeam ONE Reporter saves thereports to a target location by the following path:

<TargetDirectory>\reporting-task-for-folder-<FolderName><ID>\

The sample script must perform the following operations:

1. Access the target report location:

C:\reports\reporting-task-for-folder-<FolderName><ID>\

2. For every generated report, retrieve the report name and copy the report to a folder with thereport name:

C:\share\myreports\%ReportName%\

To create a folder with the report name, the script will use the %ReportName% parameter.

3. Remove the reports from the target location and delete the target directory.

An example of the script is provided below:

::Changing directory to the target report location cd reporting-task-for-folder* set RD=%cd%

::Removing extension and date from the report file name set ReportName=%~n1 set Extension=%~x1 set FolderName=%ReportName:~0,-11%

::Copying the report to a folder with the report name echo f | xcopy %1 "c:\share\myreports\%FolderName%\%ReportName%%Extension%"/y

::Removing the target report location cd ..\ rd %RD% /s/q

Save the script as a Windows batch file on the machine where Veeam ONE is installed.

To follow this example, save the script with the postdelivery.bat name to the C:\reports\ directory.




6. Save the scheduling settings.

At the specified schedule time, Veeam ONE Reporter will automatically generate the reports. When areport is created, Veeam ONE Reporter will trigger the script that will copy the report to a separatefolder.




Appendix B. Custom Charts for Report-BasedWidgetsVeeam ONE Reporter allows you to create custom charts based on the Custom Infrastructure reportand add these charts on dashboard widgets. You can present virtual infrastructure data with charts of

the following types: Exploded Pie Charts

Clustered Column Charts

Stacked Columns Chart

Depending on the type of chart you want to create, data sets to be selected and their presentation inthe chart may vary. This section provides basic information on presenting data on charts and includesa number of examples that will help you to understand principles of working with custom chart.




Presentation of Data in Charts To create a custom chart using dashboard widgets, you should select data that you want to present inthe chart. As well as in standard charts, charts in Veeam ONE Reporter display series fields, categoryfields and data fields.

Series fields represent values plotted in the chart. A series field is a set of related data that is

distinguished by a unique color and presented in the chart legend. Category fields represent a criterion that will be used to group series fields. A category field

is usually presented as a group of series fields on the horizontal axis.

Data fields represent the type of values that should be aggregated into a single slice, bar or acolumn in the chart. Refer to the Aggregate Functions for Charts section to learn what typesof aggregate functions can be used for data fields on charts.

Every chart type requires a specific set of data — for example, exploded pies are two-dimension chartsso you need to select only the series fields and data fields, while for clustered column charts, you needto select series fields, category fields and data fields.




Aggregate Functions in ChartsWidget charts allow you to select one of the following aggregate functions for presenting report data:

Function Description

Avg Returns the average of values in the selected data fields.

Count Returns the number of records in the selected data fields. Records with no values(empty records) are not taken into account.

CountDistinct Returns the number of distinct values in the selected data fields.

Max Returns the maximum value from the selected data fields.

Min Returns the minimum value from the selected data fields.

Sum Returns the sum of values in the selected data fields.




Exploded Pie ChartsExploded pie charts allow you to show the size of values proportional to the sum of all values. Seriesfields in exploded pie charts are shown as unique values presented in the chart legend. Data fields areshown as slices that represent aggregate values (that is, a percentage of the whole pie). Categoryfields are not used for pie charts.

Example Create a chart displaying the number of different OS’es installed on VMs.

The chart will visualize data from a simple report created on the basis of the Custom Infrastructure report template with the following report settings:

Object type : Virtual Machine

Report columns : Name, Guest OS

To create an exploded pie chart:

1. In Veeam ONE Reporter, open the Dashboards section.

2. Choose to edit the necessary dashboard and launch the Add widget wizard.

3. In the Caption field, specify the widget name.

4. At the Widget pack step, select the Report based widgets option.

5. At the Widget step, choose the saved Custom Infrastructure report.

6. At the Widget type step, select Custom chart .

7. At the Chart type step, select ExplodedPie.

8. At the Add widget step specify the following settings:

Select Guest OS as the Series fields value.

Select Name as the Data fields value. From the Aggregate function list, selectCount .

9. Finish working with the wizard.




VMware Clustered Column ChartsClustered column charts allow you to compare values across one or more categories.

Series fields in clustered column charts are shown as unique values presented in the chart legend.Data fields are organized along the vertical axis and shown as columns. Category fields are organizedalong the horizontal axis and shown as groups of columns.
