MSDP server-side rebasing parameters

Table: The server-side rebasing parameters describes the parameters that control server-side rebasing.

See About MSDP storage rebasing.

Usually, you do not need to change parameter values. However, in some cases, you may be directed to change settings by a Veritas support representative.

The parameters are stored in the contentrouter.cfg file.

See About the MSDP contentrouter.cfg file.

Table: The server-side rebasing parameters

Parameter

Description

RebaseMaxPercentage

The maximum percentage of the data segments to be rebased in a file. For any file, if the percentage of the data segments reaches this threshold, the remainder of the data segments are not rebased.

By default, this parameter is RebaseMaxPercentage=5.

RebaseMaxTime

The maximum time span in seconds of data segments to be rebased in a file. If this threshold is reached, NetBackup does not rebase the remainder of the data segments.

By default, this parameter is RebaseMaxTime=150.

RebaseMinContainers

The minimum number of containers in which a file's data segments are stored for the file to be eligible for rebasing. If the number of containers in which a file's data segments are stored is less than RebaseMinContainers, NetBackup does not rebase the data segments.

By default, this parameter is RebaseMinContainers=4.

RebaseScatterThreshold

The data locality threshold for a container. If the total size of a file's data segments in a container is less than RebaseScatterThreshold, NetBackup rebases all of the file's data segments.

By default, this parameter is RebaseScatterThreshold=64MB.
