VDP how do I monitor a restore in real time

[anthonyaudi]

Hello, 

Does anyone know what the command is to view an active restore in vCenter that is happening from VDP?

I remember there being a command that showed in percentage what the actual task was doing instead of just seeing 92% in the vCenter dashboard

Does anyone know it?

Thanks!

Hi @anthonyaudi ,

Please check these commands:

mccli activity show

mccli activity show | grep Running

Logging -->  mccli activity get-log --id=XXXXXXXXXX             ==> ID captured from 1st command

Hope that helps

Command> shell

Shell access is granted to root

root@vCenter [ ~ ]# mccli activity show

bash: mccli: command not found

root@vCenter [ ~ ]#

I'm pretty sure I'm doing that wrong?

If I remember correctly, this is done from within vCenter via Putty correct

@anthonyaudi ,

This is a VDP command. Need to SSH to VDP appliance and run it from there.

[anthonyaudi]

OK.

So when I try to log on to my VDP via SSH it keeps telling me invalid credentials.

But, I am using the same credentials I use to log on to https://vdpIP:8543/vdp-configure

Why would it be failing?

Anyone have any ideas on this?

@anthonyaudi ,

Login to SSH on first attempt with the user as 'admin'. Once logged in, type  'su  -' to switch to root user

Hope that helps
