You can use the following formula to calculate a smaller value for the Maximum jobs per client setting:
Maximum jobs per client = number_of_sessions X number_of_policies
Refer to the following definitions:
number_of_sessions | The number of backup sessions between the backup server and NetBackup on the client. Each separate session starts a new backup job on the client. |
number_of_policies | The number of policies of any type that can back up this client at the same time. This number can be greater than one. For example, a client can be in two policies to back up two different databases. These backup windows can overlap. |
Note:
Enter a large enough value for the attribute to meet the number of jobs that DB2 runs. You may need to experiment with different values at your site.
