get max configured concurrent tasks on repository

[pirx]

Hi,

I found some threads about setting max tasks on repositories and this is working for me.

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut -Name xxxx | Get-VBRRepositoryExtent | Set-VBRBackupRepository -LimitConcurrentJobs -MaxConcurrentJobs 2

But I can't find out how to retrieve the number of concurrent tasks.

You'll see the details of maximum tasks under the Options property of a repository, or a repository extent.

For a backup repository, you would use this:

Code: Select all

>$ex_repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Exagrid*"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

>$ex_repo.Options

The code to do this for a SOBR is basically the same, except that you have to step into the 'Repository' property to get to the 'Options' property:

Code: Select all

>$sobr = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut -Name 'SOBR + S3' | Get-VBRRepositoryExtent

Thanks Joe, works linke a charm. Are these options/values documented somewhere?

[oleg.feoktistov]

Hi @pirx,

In our Powershell Guide we usually document properties, which can be retrieved directly. You can explore the nested ones using either Get-Member cmdlet available natively or Show-Object cmdlet from Powershell Cookbook Module in the following way:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupRepository | Get-Member
Get-VBRBackupRepository | Show-Object

Thanks!

Hi
We have more than one Repository and I'm trying to get tasks per repository to check setup, but my PowerShell skills are limited.
I have tried
Get-VBRBackupRepository | select Name, Options.MaxTaskCount | Sort-object Name | Export-Csv -Path C:\repotasks$(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").csv

and I have tried
>$ex_repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Reponame"

>$ex_repo.Options

but this means I would have to do each repository in turn (and we have loads)

Any help would be much appreciated.
(Ideally I would like to be able to view it in VCC under infrastructure)

thanks

[aich365]

I have run
Get-VBRCloudTenant | select Name, MaxConcurrentTask | Sort-object Name | Export-Csv -Path C:\tenanttasks$(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").csv

and this returns tenants and tasks OK

Thanks

[jhoughes]

This should work for you:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupRepository | select Name, @{n='TaskCount';e={$_.Options.MaxTaskCount}} | Export-Csv -Path C:\repotasks$(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").csv

As an FYI, if you go to investigate this in PowerShell docs, you're looking for a "calculated property".

Joe
that's brilliant
very many thanks
