SSO_DA_REREGISTER_INTERVAL entry in vm.conf

This entry determines the name other NetBackup servers should use when they refer to this server.

The following configuration entry applies to NetBackup servers:

SSO_DA_REREGISTER_INTERVAL = minutes

This vm.conf entry is for the Shared Storage Option (SSO) for Tape feature only. It is read and interpreted on the host on which ltid runs.

ltid on a scan host periodically registers its shared drives with EMM/DA to ensure that it is still provides the drive scanning function. Only one of the hosts that share a drive scan the drive. This reregistration allows conditions such as a device allocator restart to have minimal effect on use of shared drives.

The default for the reregistration interval is 5 minutes. Use the SSO_DA_REREGISTER_INTERVAL entry to tune this interval. After the entry is added, stop and restart ltid for the change to take effect.
