HOSTDB_RESYNC_INTERVAL option for NetBackup servers and clients

The HOSTDB_RESYNC_INTERVAL option specifies the time interval to synchronize host's information to the NetBackup master server's host database.

Table: HOSTDB_RESYNC_INTERVAL information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup clients.

How to use

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.

Use the following format:

HOSTDB_RESYNC_INTERVAL = hours

The default value is 24 hours (1 day).

The maximum value for this option is 168 hours (7 days). The minimum value for this option is zero.

Setting the option to zero disables periodic updates to the host database. It also disables updates to the host database after the bpcd service restarts.

This option should appear only once in the configuration file.

Example

The following example sets the time interval of 72 hours (3 days) to allow data synchronization with the host database:

HOSTDB_RESYNC_INTERVAL = 72

Equivalent Administration Console property

No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties.
