CLEAN_REQUEST_TIMEOUT entry in vm.conf

Note:

This entry affects tape drive cleaning requests as well as tape mount and tape dismount requests.

Use this entry to specify the following:

  • How long NetBackup waits for a drive to be cleaned before it removes the request from the queue.

  • How long NetBackup waits for a tape to be mounted or dismounted before it removes the request from the queue.

Unprocessed requests to clean a drive or to mount or dismount a tape are removed from the queue after 30 minutes.

CLEAN_REQUEST_TIMEOUT = minutes

The minutes can be from 1 to 144000 (100 days). The default value is 30 and a value of zero converts to the default value of 30.
