Replication and Chargeback Usage Reports

From DXi or Q-Cloud Protect Device consoles, you can access the Device Replication report and the Chargeback Usage report.

Important

Vision uses the DXi and Q-Cloud Protect IP addresses — rather than hostnames — to determine replication relationships. It does not recognize replication relationships if the DXi or Q-Cloud Protect IP address is not supplied.

Use the Device Replication report to view both detailed and summary information for namespace file replication, source replication, and target replication.

Replication reports are accessible for the following: DXi V-Series virtual appliances, DXi4500, DXi4700, DXi6500, DXi6700, DXi6800, DXi6900, DXi6900-S, DXi7500, DXi8500, and Q-Cloud Protect.

See View Replication Reports.

Access Control

For Vision to gather replication data for Q-Cloud Protect appliances or DXi devices running software versions 3.2 or later, it needs to identify itself through an SSH key pair.

Vision generates this key pair. The private key is Vision's secure identifier. The public key is shared with the Q-Cloud Protect appliance or DXi device. Vision has authorization to gather replication data only when the private and public keys match. For more information, see Configure Security Settings for Vision.

Use the Chargeback Usage report to view ingest and capacity information for both shares and partitions configured on a DXi device or Q-Cloud Protect appliance.

You can view Chargeback Usage reports for DXi devices with a software version of 2.3 or newer and Q-Cloud Protect appliances.
