PowerShell Scripts for System Scans

[malaroch]

I would like to be able to get notifications if any of the periodic System Scans run on the VBR Backup and Storage infrastructure come back with an error. I was told by Veeam Support (Case #03177244) that currently there is no easy way for customer to get these notifications. Does any one have any suggestions with regards to gaining access the results of these System Scans

You cannot get those session via PowerShell, unless you initiate rescan within a script.

So, as a workaround you can rescan particular component via PowerShell, assign resulting session to a variable and check its status afterwards. Something similar might work:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Server = Get-VBRServer -name "Name of component"
$Session = $Server | Rescan-VBREntity -Wait
$Session.Result

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply and information. It would be very helpful if Veeam would allow email notification for failed System Scans to be configured directly in the VBR GUI. However, if this is the best solution available I will try it out!

One more question:
I do not see any way to Rescan-VBREntity which happens to be a Cisco HyperFlex Storage.
Is there a specical Get category for Cisco Hyperflex Storage?
If I do a Rescan -AllHosts the Hyperflex is not included in this scan.

Currently we don't have any cmdlets to work with this storage system. Thanks.

Thank you for raising this issue. We've just increased priority for this feature internally. So, one of the next product updates (besides Update 4) should have it implemented. Thanks.
