Ops Manager reports in "Backup" application

rmharwood — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:57:52 GMT

Ops Manager 4.0.1 with Protection Manager.

I would like to run a report on command line to output a list of OSSV primary hosts and paths. I thought this would be easy since you can get the same report from the web interface and you can even schedule it to run and email you the results.

However, I cannot find a command that will run the report and display the results. I'm either looking in the wrong place or doing something else wrong.

I can list the available reports, thus (my emphasis):

# dfm report list -A backup

but:

# dfm report view primary-hosts:primary-hosts-open-system

There is no primary-hosts:primary-hosts-open-system report.

# dfm report view -A backup primary-hosts:primary-hosts-open-system

There is no primary-hosts:primary-hosts-open-system report.

I could use a combination of "dfm report schedule run" and "dfm report output list" and "dfm report output view" but that seems like a lot of work for something that should be easy.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks! I knew about the "dfm" and "dfpm" but not the "dfbm" commands. I'm not too pleased that the report is in list form rather than tabulated but I can work with that.

Cheers,

Richard

Most of the cli in Ops-Mgr, like

dfm--data fabric manager

dfpm--datafabric prot/prov manager

dfbm-- datafabric backup manager

dfdrm--datafabric disaster recovery manager

Use the below cli to get it in table form.

dfbm report -F text primary-hosts-open-system

some most of these output formats.

OUTPUT FORMATS
The list and report commands generate output in one of several formats based on the -F option:

text
For display on a terminal screen in a tabulated format. For example,

             Primary Directory        Secondary Volume     Lag      Status
             ------------------------ -------------------- -------- ------
             filer1:/vol1/qt3         bigdog:/vol1         1.2 h    Idle
             vfiler1:/vol1/qt4        bigdog:/vol1         10 h     Idle

If -q is specified, the column headings are omitted.

paragraph
For display on a terminal screen in a paragraph style. For example,

             Secondary Volume:   bigdog:/vol1
             Schedule:           4 times a day
             Retention:          Legal data
             Primary Directory: filer1:/vol1/qt3
             Primary Directory: filer2:/vol1/qt4
             Primary Directory: filer4:/vol1/qt2
             Primary Directory: vfiler1:/vol1/qt6

             Secondary Volume:   bigdog:/backups
             Schedule:           6 times a day
             Retention:          Sensitive data
             Primary Directory: filer2:/vol2/qt3

html
For display in a web page.

perl
For processing with a perl script.

xml For processing with XML-capatable software.

xls For viewing in a spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel.
