Risk Assessment

For identifying risks and providing server-specific recommendations, Veritas provides two reports options: general checklists and custom reports using data collectors. Depending on your specific needs, you can run a Risk Assessment general checklist to get a quick view of your system, or you can run a complete and detailed Risk Assessment custom report.

QUICK SYSTEM CHECKING

Risk Assessment general checklists

A general checklist is a quicker alternative to running a custom report. It creates a list of hardware, software, and patch recommendations. A general checklist is useful when:

  • You want to install or upgrade a Veritas enterprise product on a single system.
  • You want a standard list of configuration recommendations.

The Risk Assessment general checklist provides configuration recommendations based on the Veritas enterprise product and platform you specify. It provides recommendations about availability, configuration, utilization, performance, and best practices.

Supported products:

  • Cluster Server
  • Storage Foundation family
  • Veritas InfoScale family
  • NetBackup family

 

DETAILED SYSTEM CHECKING

Risk Assessment Custom Reports Using Data Collectors

Data collector is a software application that gathers the information about systems in your network, and then generates a customer report accordingly. A custom report contains a list of passed and failed checks and their corresponding details.

You can upload your reports to the SORT website, where you can view, analyze, or share them with others.
