Search Overview

WHY IT MATTERS:

ECX lets you quickly and easily locate every version of a file across your entire Enterprise. ECX searches its databases and returns results in moments; every instance and version of a file displays across all devices and snapshots.

Use ECX to explore objects on cataloged providers. With the Search feature, you can easily search for and rapidly find all objects that match certain criteria.

The Application Catalog may include Catalogic DPX backups on NetApp storage systems and SnapManager data objects. SnapManager for Exchange and SnapManager for SQL Server are supported.

The EMC VNX Catalog may include CIFS shares, file systems, hosts, host containers, LUNs, NAS servers, NFS shares, pools, snapshots, storage resources, and storage resource replications.

The IBM Catalog may include FlashCopies, Hosts, IOGroups, MDisks, mirrors, Node Canisters, PortIPs, and volumes.

The NetApp Catalog may include aggregates, CIFS shares, files, LUNs, networks, NFS exports, nodes, policies, protocols, qtrees, quotas, SnapMirrors, Snapshots, SnapVaults, SVMs, vFilers, and volumes.

The Recovery Catalog may contain datacenters, data stores, ESX hosts, LUNs, folders, recovery points, vApps, vDisks, vSnapshots, and vSpheres.

The VMware Catalog may include data stores, ESX hosts, LUNs, virtual disks, virtual machines, VMware hosts, and virtual snapshots.

You can match a character pattern and apply other filters such as category, object type, and location through the Search feature. The results are presented in the user interface and are also exportable. Furthermore, click an object that appears in the Search results to open a tab with additional details about that object. You can also review previous versions of your files, along with their Snapshot, SnapVault and SnapMirror replication status.

Alternatively, use the Catalog Browser to browse through the list of providers. Drill into the Catalog Browser to logically view the details of the objects underlying a storage system, virtual host, or application.

Use the Time Machine control to view the Catalog as it appeared on a past date.
