Trying to grep that stuff out of the logs is a nightmare.
And it doesn't' cover the case where a VM gets vmotioned to a different ESX
host, and for some reason that host wasn't set up to find and backup all VM's
on it.
So I"ve been tackling it from the opposite direction:
select filespace_name, date(backup_end) from filespaces where
node_name='VEDATACENTERNODE' order by 2
The good thing about VE, is that all the filespaces are stored under the one
nodename.
So I figure any VM that doesn't have a backup date of yesterday had a backup
failure, and those are the only ones I need to go looking for.
Better yet, VE 6.4 is announced and will be available 11/16.
It's supposed to have better reporting built into it, but I haven't seen it for
myself yet.

Understood. I'm looking for more of a "q event" type output. Maybe from a
third party reporting system. Maybe even the IBM reporting and
monitoring if anyone can suggest something. Just a one-liner, vm name,
success, fail, date, etc.
Regards,
Shawn

Re: [ADSM-L] TSM for Virtual Environments - Reporting
Shawn,
Are you seeing these messages?
ANE4146I Starting Full VM backup of Virtual Machine 'vmname'
ANE4147I Successful Full VM backup of Virtual Machine 'vmname'
ANE4148E Full VM backup of Virtual Machine 'vmname' failed with RC rc
Do they have session/process numbers?
There are a host of other VM related messages that should help describe the
status...
Richard

Quick question, may be a long answer.
How is everyone reporting on success/failures for Full VM backups using TSM for
VE. My reports are grabbing lines from the actlog and it is uugly.

2012-09-25 11:40:27 ANE4142I virtual machine NODE2 backed up
