AVRD_SCAN_DELAY entry in vm.conf
If this entry is specified in vm.conf, avrd waits number_of_seconds between normal scan cycles. This entry is read and interpreted on the host on which avrd runs.
AVRD_SCAN_DELAY = number_of_seconds
Use this entry to minimize tape mount times. Without this entry, NetBackup delays mount requests by an average of 7.5 seconds.
The minimum for number_of_seconds is 1. The maximum is 180. A value of zero converts to one second. The default value is 15 seconds. If a value is used that is greater than the default, NetBackup delays mount requests and drive status updates in the Device Monitor.
Note:
If number_of_seconds is set to a value that allows media to be changed within one scan cycle, NetBackup may not detect media changes. Data loss may occur.
