MAP_CONTINUE_TIMEOUT entry in vm.conf

This entry applies only when the vmchange command is used and the -w option is specified.

MAP_CONTINUE_TIMEOUT = seconds

The default timeout value for seconds is 300 (5 minutes). seconds cannot be zero and values greater than 1200 (20 minutes) can cause the robotic daemon to cancel the operation.

If this entry is specified in vm.conf, the SCSI robotic daemons wait the specified number of seconds before they time out. A timeout can occur while the daemons wait for user reply after the user removes volumes from the media access port. If a timeout occurs, NetBackup aborts the operation.

This entry is read and interpreted on the host on which the SCSI-controlled robotic daemon or process runs.

Note:

Non-mount activities such as a robotic inventory cannot occur during this timeout period.
