Mark Davis When running nsrclone on a list of savesets, and viewing the Monitoring/Sessions tab, and with "Show: Clone Sessions", there is no dynamic update showing the progress of the job. It simply shows the total amount to be cloned and then does not update. When the job is complete, the session disappears.

If I run nsrwatch, I do see the dynamic update of the job:

cloning session:19 of 59 save set(s) reading from VT600029 31 GB of 82
GB
  servername:cloning session saving to pool 'vtl3clone' (VT600036)

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a workaround?

If you can generate (or already know) a list of the ssids that are being cloned, you can run mminfo against that list and watch the "copies" field. Those with only one copy are not yet cloned. The totalsize (or sumsize) field will also give you a rough idea of the relative time to clone them based on their size.

I realize that's not a whole lot, but it's more than nwadmin/nsrwatch will tell you. :-)

Actually, I was happy with the display in nwadmin (version 7.2.2). nwadmin or nsrwatch at least provided a reasonable estimate of progress. With the new 7.4 Administration GUI, I have no idea how far the job has progressed. Your suggestion is a good one, but I was hoping to see a better presentation in the GUI.

I have noticed that if I run nsrstage on savesets, the sessions window does update dynamically. I should have mentioned that in my original post.

Thanks,

Mark
