Correlating Container States between the CLI/API and Management GUI (KBA1793)

 

 

This document describes the differences between how container states are reported between the Management interface and CLI/API.

Container States in the Management Interface

In the Datasets screen of the Delphix Engine's Management interface (GUI), each container shows:

  • The container's name and type
  • A brief summary of the container's status
  • A warning icon, if there is an active fault

The state reported by the Management interface is a summary, calculated using several pieces of state information available for the container.

Container States in the CLI/API

Using the Delphix Engine's Command Line Interface (CLI), most information about container states can be gathered using the "source list" CLI command:

mydelphixengine> cd /source
mydelphixengine source> list display=name,type,runtime.status,runtime.enabled,ingestionStrategy.type
NAME                                             TYPE                       RUNTIME.STATUS  RUNTIME.ENABLED
AdventureWorks2014                               MSSqlLinkedSource          RUNNING         ENABLED
scenario11                                       MSSqlLinkedSource          RUNNING         ENABLED
qadb                                             MSSqlVirtualSource         UNKNOWN         DISABLED
devdb                                            MSSqlVirtualSource         UNKNOWN         ENABLED
42134618-dfb3-bfdd-954b-104b8e7ffd00-staging-1   MSSqlStagingSource         UNKNOWN         ENABLED
42134618-dfb3-bfdd-954b-104b8e7ffd00-staging-12  MSSqlStagingSource         UNKNOWN         ENABLED

Note that only LinkedSource and VirtualSource containers are directly visible from the Management interface.

Additional information about status of each StagingSource, which are used by SQL Server and SAP ASE dSources, is available from the "database list" command:

mydelphixengine> cd /database
mydelphixengine database> list display=group,name,runtime.preProvisioningStatus.preProvisioningState,runtime.preProvisioningStatus.status
GROUP           NAME                RUNTIME.PREPROVISIONINGSTATUS.PREPROVISIONINGSTATE

2 - QA Copies   QA vDB              -

How to Map VDB Status to GUI Status

The following table describes how VDB status from the CLI/API is used to provide information for the Management interface.

Runtime.Enabled Runtime.Status State in GUI
DISABLED [Any] Stopped
ENABLED INACTIVE Stopped
ENABLED UNKNOWN Cannot monitor
(<5.2: Cannot contact database)
ENABLED FAILED Provision problem
ENABLED PENDING Setting up timeflow
ENABLED RUNNING Running

How to Map dSource Status to GUI Status

The following table describes how dSource status from the CLI/API is used to provide information for the Management interface.

RDBMS Type Runtime.Enabled Runtime.Status Staging Status State in GUI
Any [Detached / Unlinked] [Any] [Any] [Any] Detached
Any DISABLED [Any] [Any] Inactive
Any ENABLED INACTIVE [Any] Inactive
Any ENABLED UNKNOWN [Any] Cannot monitor
(<5.2: Cannot contact source)
Any ENABLED CHECKING [Any] Contacting source
Oracle LiveSource ENABLED RUNNING RUNNING [LiveSource Status]
Oracle (All others) ENABLED RUNNING RUNNING Running
SQL Server / ASE ENABLED RUNNING INACTIVE Inactive
SQL Server / ASE ENABLED RUNNING FAULTED Faulted
SQL Server / ASE ENABLED RUNNING UNKNOWN Unknown
SQL Server / ASE ENABLED RUNNING [Not found] Inactive
SQL Server / ASE ENABLED RUNNING RUNNING Running
All Others ENABLED RUNNING [Any] Running

For SQL Server and SAP ASE dSources, the staging status can be determined using the "database list" command shown above. This may report INACTIVE status for a variety of reasons, including:

  • The dSource is configured using "Delphix Managed Backups", and the Source does not need to be polled for backups; or
  • The Staging source has been explicitly disabled by the CLI (this will also throw a fault, which will be visible in the GUI)
