NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

RESILIENT_RETRY_INTERVAL

This value determines how frequently the primary server attempts to reestablish communications with an active backup job after it encounters a network error. Once the primary server encounters a network error, it waits the specified amount of time before it attempts to reestablish communications. The time is specified in seconds. The default value is 120, or 2 minutes. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 3600, or one hour.

Be aware of the relationship between RESILIENT_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT and RESILIENT_RETRY_INTERVAL. For example, if RESILIENT_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT is 10 minutes and RESILIENT_RETRY_INTERVAL is 2 minutes, the primary server attempts to reconnect to a backup job 5 times. If the primary server is unable to reconnect, the primary server ends the backup job.

RESILIENT_RETRY_INTERVAL = number
