Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Checking health jobs

In addition to checking Health Status for operational problems, also check the Health > Jobs page. This page displays information about jobs (also called tasks) that have been initiated from DDMC. This information includes jobs that are still in progress and jobs that are complete, whether successfully or not. Details of a task, including its subtask status, are shown for a selected task in the Details panel.

You can filter jobs by Failed, In-progress, or Completed (or all three).

You can select a job from the main list and expand the steps to see sub-steps up to 10 levels deep.

Tasks can run on the DDMC alone or can run on the DDMC and a Data Domain and PowerProtect system. For example, the Report Generation task runs solely on DDMC. Other tasks, like Update, run mostly on the system, but a skeleton process on DDMC tracks the task progress. And still other tasks run mostly on DDMC (such as Adding Systems), but have subtasks that run on the system. Tasks that run on DD System Manager are not shown in the Jobs list – only those tasks that are initiated from DDMC are shown.

The displayed list of tasks depends on the role:

• A person with a user or limited-admin role on a system or DDMC sees only the tasks that they initiated on that system or DDMC.
• An admin on a system or DDMC sees all jobs on that system and DDMC.
