SSO_DA_RETRY_TIMEOUT entry in vm.conf

The following configuration entry applies to NetBackup servers:

SSO_DA_RETRY_TIMEOUT = 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.

The Device Manager ltid delays before if one of the following events occurs:

  • Problems during communications with EMM/DA.

  • Failure trying to reserve a shared drive.

The default value for the delay is 3 minutes. Use the SSO_DA_RETRY_TIMEOUT entry to tune this delay period. After the entry is added, stop and restart ltid for the change to take effect.
