VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE_STATUS option for NetBackup servers and clients
NetBackup offers the option to perform a "quiescence failover" and then perform an unquiesced snapshot if the quiescence of a target VMware virtual machine fails. By default the snapshot job reports as status 0 (Success).
The VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE_STATUS option provides the ability to change the status of the snapshot job from 0 to 1 (Partial success) when a quiescence of a target VMware virtual machine fails.

Usage | Description |

Where to use | On the NetBackup media server and the backup host. |
How to use | By default, this option is not present in the configuration file or registry. In that case the snapshot job has a status of 0 (Successful) for an unquiesced snapshot if a quiescence of a target VMware virtual machine fails. Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Note: These commands require administrator privilege on the NetBackup primary server. For assistance, contact the NetBackup administrator. You can also use the NetBackup configuration APIs to view, add, or change this option. Refer to the NetBackup API documentation on SORT for more information. Use the following format: VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE_STATUS = policyname1, policyname2, policyname3 For example: VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE_STATUS = vmware1, vmware2 This entry should appear only once in the configuration file or registry. Note: After changing this option, stop and restart the NetBackup services. |
