AVRD_PEND_DELAY entry in vm.conf

If this entry is specified in vm.conf, avrd waits number_of_seconds before it displays a pending status (PEND) in the Device Monitor. This entry is read and interpreted on the host on which avrd runs.

AVRD_PEND_DELAY = number_of_seconds

On Windows, NetBackup reports PEND if the drive reports Busy when a volume is unmounted. Use this entry to minimize the display of this misleading status.

The minimum for number_of_seconds is zero. The maximum is 255. The default value is 180 seconds.
