About organizations

In Phoenix, an organization is an access-based control mechanism to configure the servers for backup and restore. Organizations create a logical partitioning of the entities, such as servers, backup policies, and so on. Whereas, organizations share the storage, cloud administrators, and customer license. Based on the requirements, you can create one or more organizations or perform backup and restore using the default site provided by Phoenix.

Select the Default Organization

  1. Log in to the Phoenix Management Console.
  2. On the menu bar, click All Organizations and select Default Organization from the drop-down list.

View the Organizations page

The Organizations page provides the details of all the organizations configured in the environment. The details also include the backup status of the File servers, MS-SQL servers, virtual machines, databases, and NAS devices configured for each organization.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Phoenix Management Console.
  2. On the menu bar, select All Organizations from the drop-down list.
  3. On the menu bar, click Organizations.
    The Organizations page displays.  The following table lists the fields displayed on the Organizations page.
Field Description

Organization Name

Click the organization name to display the dashboard of that organization.
Description A short description of the organization.

# Admins

The number of administrators created for each organization.

Click the integer to display the Manage Administrators page that lists organization administrators and group administrators.

# Configured

Click the integer to view the corresponding configured server details.

Latest Backup Status

For each server, the following columns display the backup status:

  • Backup Successful (): Displays the number of the recent "Successful" backups for the servers or virtual machines in the selected organization.
  • Backup With Errors (): Displays the number of latest  "Successful with error" backup for the servers or virtual machines in the selected organization.
  • Backup Failed (): Displays the number of latest "Failed" backup for the servers or virtual machines in the selected organization.
  • Backup Window Expired (): Displays the number of servers or virtual machines in the selected organization with the last backup status as "Backup Window Expired."
  • Never Backed Up (): Displays the number of servers and virtual machines that were never backed up by the selected organization.

Click the integer to list the filtered view of the configured servers or virtual machines for that particular organization. For example, for a File server, if you click the number under Last Backup Successful , the system displays the Configured Server page with the details of the File servers and the Last Backup status as Successful. Similarly, for a virtual machine, if you click the number under Last Backup Failed , the system displays the Configured Virtual Machine page with the details of virtual machines and the Last Backup status as Failed.
