Resources are the databases, Exchange Database Availability
Groups that are maintained by the plug-ins
you have installed. You can add those resources to resource groups so that
you can perform data protection jobs, but first you must
identify which resources you have available. Determining available resources
also verifies that the plug-in installation has completed
successfully.
About this task
- You cannot back up databases when the Overall Status option in the Details page is set to Not available for backup. The Overall Status option is set to Not available for backup when any of the following is true:
- Databases are not on a NetApp LUN.
- Databases are not in normal state.
Databases are not in normal state when they are offline, restoring, recovery pending, suspend, and so on.
- If you have a Database Availability Group (DAG), you
can back up all databases in the group by running the backup job from the DAG.
Procedure
-
In the left navigation pane, click Resources, and then select Microsoft Exchange Server from the plug-ins drop-down list located in the upper left corner of the Resources page.
- In the Resources page select
Database, or Database Availability Group, or Resource Group, from the View drop-down list.
Click

and select the host name and the Exchange Server to filter the resources. You can then click

to close the filter pane.
- Click Refresh Resources.
The newly added, renamed, or deleted resources are updated to the SnapCenter Server inventory.
Result
The resources are displayed along with
information such as resource name, Database Availability Group name, time of last
backup, and overall status.
- If the database is on a non-NetApp
storage, Not available for backup is displayed in the Overall Status
column.
In a DAG, if the active database copy is on
non-NetApp storage and if at least one passive database copy is on NetApp
storage, Not protected is displayed in the Overall Status column.
You cannot perform data protection operations on a database that
is on a non-NetApp storage type.
- If the database is on NetApp storage
and is not protected, Not protected is displayed in the Overall Status column.
- If the database is on a NetApp storage system and protected, the user
interface displays the Backup not run message in the Overall Status column.
- If the database is on a NetApp storage system and is protected and if
the backup is triggered for the database, the user interface displays the
Backup succeeded message in the Overall
Status column.
