Known issues

The following known issues are present in this release.

Table: NetBackup IT Analytics 11.5 Known Issues

Issue Number

Description

SC-43138

The Performance Statistics probe of the Veritas Flex Appliance policy is unable to collect the node disk statistics details, as node_disk_% metrics are temporarily restricted in Flex Appliance /metric/federate API response

SC-48735

Sometimes probe data collection ends with a warning. This issue is observed on Flex Appliance logout operation which sometime fails with the response code 502 Bad Gateway. Collection of probe is not affected and shows collection status as warning, since this is logout operation which gets executed post data collection.

SC-31736

File Analytics can be enabled either from the Host File Analytics policy or through NetBackup File Analytics policy. If you enable both for the same host, then the data appearing in the reports will not be accurate.

Hence, ensure you configure File Analytics for a given host only in one policy, preferably through the NetBackup File Analytics policy.

SC-40668

NetBackup IT Analytics Portal with Foundation licenses displays host groups that are unrelated with Veritas NetBackup under HostGroups Menu in Admin tab.

You can ignore the Non-NetBackup hosts groups.

SC-41008

When a license is expired, consumed count on the license report may not show correct value.

SC-31099

In case of Hyper-V Intelligent policy, the client name returned by Veritas Backup Manager is always VM UUID, regardless of the Primary VM Identifier of the Hyper-V Virtual Machine, which causes failure in collection of file metadata. This behavior also leads to IT Analytics reporting some or all such clients as unprotected.

SC-31525

NetBackup IT Analytics Portal installed on a Linux host will log an invalid data growth exception if the host has two or more folders with the same name in the root directory. For example, folder names /boot and /BOOT will log the exception even though the letter case is different in both the names.

SC-32319

File Analytics Collection Status report displays the same File Count value for both Current Collection and Previous Collection.

SC-64411
