HP StoreOnce VSA Backup System User Guide (TC458-96025)

7 Housekeeping function
IMPORTANT: Housekeeping is an important process to maximize the deduplication efficiency of
the appliance. You must ensure that the housekeeping process has enough time to complete.
Running backup, restore, replication, and Catalyst Store operations with no break (i.e., 24 hours
a day) can result in housekeeping never completing. HP strongly recommends that you read HP
StoreOnce Concepts and Configuration Guidelines available at www.hp.com/go/storage/docs
for more detailed guidance.
The Housekeeping page:
• Contains tabs that display housekeeping statistics and graphs, see The Housekeeping
page (page 105)
• Allows administrators to configure housekeeping blackout windows, see Configuring blackout
windows (page 108)
• Allows administrators to pause housekeeping, see Pausing housekeeping (page 108)
NOTE: With the current version of the software there are no equivalent StoreOnce CLI commands
available for the tasks described in this section.
The Housekeeping page
Select Housekeeping from the HP StoreOnce menu to display current and housekeeping activity.
There are four tabs that display housekeeping statistics and graphs: Overall (default), Libraries,
Shares, and StoreOnce Catalyst. Users with an Admin login can also configure blackout windows
for housekeeping on the Blackout Windows tab.
Housekeeping statistics
Use the housekeeping statistics to monitor the current housekeeping activity.
