Eyeglass Reporting
Eyeglass offers these reports:
- Cluster reports that cover configuration>
- RPO reports that include SyncIQ performance, and backup details on SyncIQ performance, for backup monitoring of policies used for backup only versus DR.
Reports are now available from the Reports on Demand Icon.
Eyeglass Cluster Config Reports
Eyeglass collects key cluster settings for the PowerScale clusters that it is managing, and makes them available in an HTML report format by email or on demand. Use the contents of this report to automate, and keep up to date, the documentation of cluster configuration for DR and your DR run book. This information is also valuable for IT planning, cluster expansion, networking and security
What’s New in Cluster Reports
New in 1.9 cluster reports includes:
- DNS settings for OneFS 8 now added to cluster reports.
- Pools/Subnets in all groupnets shows up (with Access Zones) in OneFS 8 cluster reports. Also added zone name to pools in OneFS 7 reports.
Cluster Configuration Email Report
By default, the full cluster HTML report containing key cluster settings is emailed daily, at midnight, to all users who have been configured for email notification.

Cluster Networking for Failover and Cluster Reports
Cluster networking is now added to cluster reports and can also be viewed in the zone inventory tree (see examples below). This information is key to assisting with Access Zone failover. Each Access Zone maintains a mapping to subnet pools and configuration data.
See the Failover Design Guide (Eyeglass Failover Design Guide) for instructions on creating hints to allow Eyeglass to failover networking with SmartConnect Zone migration, SPN updates, and pool mapping. This information is also needed to assist with Runbook Robot configuration within an Access Zone, and will allow customers to verify complete failover and failback operations between sites using Eyeglass automation.
