Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

EMM_CONNECT_TIMOUT entry in vm.conf

This value applies for broken connections between the NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager and the following daemons: the vmddaemon and the ltid daemon. These two daemons use this entry to determine for how long they should try to reconnect to the NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager.

EMM_CONNECT_TIMOUT = number_of_seconds

The default is 20 seconds.

Only change the value of this vm.conf file entry when directed to do so by a NetBackup support representative. If this entry is added to the vm.conf file or if this value is changed, restart the vmd daemon and the ltid daemon.
