Post Assessment

Introduction

There are two elements to the Post Assessment.

• 10 Observational Tests
  • User needs to select the test as passed or failed or NA if it is not applicable.
• 22 Automated Tests
  • Tranzman will run the test and check the output of commands to determine if the test was a pass, fail or not applicable.

Tranzman will generate a report of the Assessment findings that can be downloaded. Tranzman will also generate an archive (evidence.zip) of all the data that was used for the automated tests so that can be downloaded too.

Understanding Assessment Results

• tells there are additional messages have been provided for that specific test that should be investigated.
  
• is the result of acknowledging the issues.
• indicates about more information available about the check result.
  
• tells you that the Test ran without issue, and there are no additional messages
  
• No entry sign means that the test was not applicable to that environment and was skipped.
  
• In most cases anything with should be investigated further and resolved if needed.
  

Automated Tests (NBU)

• Catalog Structure Verify the Image directory structure
• Master Name on Master Server Check Master Server name, is consistent between EMM and Host Properties.
• Master Name on Media Servers Verify that Media servers use the same master name in their config</i>
• Media Server Connectivity Test Media server connectivity
• Host Connectivity Test host connectivity
• Tape Devices States Check if there pending or down tape drives
• Disk pools Check if there are any DOWN disk pools
• Catalog Backup Verify that Catalog backups was performed successfully
• Policy Configuration Check that all Policies are valid.
• Residency Configuration Check that all Residencies do not reference non-existent residencies or hosts.
• De-assign Empty Verify normal functionality for image / media clean-up
• Image and Media Consistency Check Check that images and media are consistent.
• Cluster nodes differ Check that all Nodes in a Cluster use the same OS/Platform, and are at the same NetBackup Version.
• Foreign Media Check if there are any Foreign Media entries in EMM listhosts output.
• Check Services / Processes Verify that all required services / processes are active on the master server.
• Check Appliance Demoted Check that if appliance was demoted, it should now be correctly configured as a media server.
• Credentials Validate Credentials are working
• Images and Image Headers Check Check for images header and files consistency, and crosscheck Destination against the Origin.
• Clean up of Temp Host file content Verify that there are no temporary host file entries left over from running Tranzman.
• Images Copies Consistency Check Check for consistency between copies and their retentions.
• Master Certificate Working Verify that Master can get its own certificate.
• Rogue files / folders in catalog Verify that there are no rogue files or folders in the Images path. Folders will be reported here if they are not associated with any valid images. Files are reported if they are not a valid part of a catalog.

Downloading Tranzman Acceptance report

• The Acceptance document can be downloaded from Tasks->Download section of Tranzman side menu.
• By clicking on the Generate documents icon on the top right, generates the Acceptance and evidence files.
• This generates two documents per pair as: TRANZMAN_Environments_<ctime>_<origin name>_<destination name>.odt and TRANZMAN_Environments_<ctime>_<origin name>_<destination name>.odt
• It also generates a zip file of all the gathered logs as evidence_<ctime>.tgz
• Clicking on the documents, lets to download the files locally.

The document will show ALL test and will provide more detail for the ones that had a YELLOW ! They will be marked as FAIL.
Investigate all FAIL entries and resolve if possible.
Document that has FAIL on it should NOT be signed off. Make sure to update any FAIL to ADV (advised) and provide the customer with details about test and the reason for its acceptance.
