3.9.5.4 Monitor the Progress of a Volume Backup or Restore
A volume backup is a backup of an Exascale volume snapshot, which provides a consistent point-in-time copy of the volume. Exascale volume backups are stored in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) object storage container.
The operation to create or restore a volume backup may take some time to complete. You can monitor the ongoing progress by viewing the completion percentage.
-
To display the completion percentage for a volume backup operation, use the ESCLI
lsvolumebackup
command to display information about the desired volume backup operation and examine thestate
andprogress
attributes. For example:@> lsvolumebackup 2b1:7476692b2499488794951dfe59606e1b --attributes state,progress --detail state CREATING progress 27% @>
In the example, 2b1:7476692b2499488794951dfe59606e1b is the volume backup identifier for the backup operation being monitored.
You can also use the
lsvolumebackup
command to find the identifier for each volume backup. -
To display the completion percentage for a volume restore operation, use the ESCLI
lsvolume
command to display information about the new volume that is being created as part of the volume restore operation and examine thestate
andprogress
attributes. For example:@> lsvolume 3:4f71bc664cdb47e3928083505819aafa --attributes state,progress --detail state RESTORING progress 59% @>
In the example, the identifier for the new volume being created by the restore operation is 3:4f71bc664cdb47e3928083505819aafa.
You can also use the
lsvolume
command to find the identifier for each volume being created as part of the volume restore operation.
During a backup operation, the state
attribute contains
the value CREATING
. During a restore operation, the
state
attribute contains the value RESTORING
.
During both operations, the progress
attribute contains the current
completion percentage.
Upon successful completion, the state
changes to
AVAILABLE
, and the progress
attribute contains
no value. If the operation fails, then the state
attribute
indicates the failure, and the progress
attribute reflects the
point of failure for a while before it is reset.
