Operation readiness checking and reporting
First Claim
1. An information management system configured to perform storage operations, the system comprising:
- one or more computing devices comprising computer hardware in networked communication with one or more media agents, the one or more computing devices configured to;
determine that a storage operation is scheduled to be executed based on a storage policy associated with the storage operation;
prior to the scheduled execution of the storage operation, determine whether one or more primary storage devices or one or more secondary storage devices are available to establish a connection to the one or more media agents; and
in response to a determination that the one or more primary storage devices or the one or more secondary storage devices are not available to establish a connection to the one or more media agents, generate a first report prior to the scheduled execution of the storage operation, the first report specifying unavailability of the one or more primary storage devices or the one or more secondary storage devices.

Abstract
An information management system according to certain aspects may determine whether storage operations will work prior to executing them. The system may check various factors or parameters relating to a storage policy to verify whether the storage policy will work at runtime without actually executing the policy. Some examples of factors can include: availability of primary storage devices, availability of secondary storage devices, license availability for performing that operation, user credentials for connecting to primary and/or second storage devices, available storage capacity, connectivity to storage devices, etc. The system may also check whether a particular system configuration is supported in connection with storage operations. The result of the determination can be provided in the form of a report summarizing any problems found with the storage policy. The report can include recommended courses of action or solutions for resolving any identified issues.

17. A method of verifying readiness of storage operations in an information management system, the method comprising:
-
determining that a storage operation is scheduled to be executed based on a storage policy associated with the storage operation; prior to the scheduled execution of the storage operation, determining whether one or more primary storage devices or to one or more secondary storage devices are available to establish a connection to one or more media agents, wherein the one or more primary storage devices and the one or more secondary storage devices are in networked communication with the one or more media agents; and in response to a determination that the one or more primary storage devices or to the one or more secondary storage devices are not available to establish a connection to the one or more media agents, generating a first report prior to the scheduled execution of the storage operation, the first report specifying unavailability of the one or more primary storage devices or the one or more secondary storage devices. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
