Client Read Timeout
Specifies the number of seconds to use for the client-read timeout on a
NetBackup master or slave server or database-extension client (such as
NetBackup for Oracle). The default is 300 seconds.
The client-read timeout on a database-extension client is a special case because
these clients can initially require more time to get ready than other clients. This
is the case because database backup utilities frequently start several backup
jobs at the same time, which slows the CPU.
The sequence on a database-extension client is as follows:
• NetBackup on the database-extension client reads the client’s client-read
timeout to find the value to use initially. If the option is not set, the
standard default of five minutes is used.
• When the database-extension API receives the server's value, it uses it as
the client- read timeout.
Note:
For database-extension clients, VERITAS suggests that you set the
client-read timeout to a value greater than 5 minutes. A setting of 15 minutes
has been found to be adequate for many installations. For other clients, leave it
at the default unless problems are encountered.
Disallow Server File Writes
Prevents the NetBackup server from creating or modifying files on the
NetBackup client. For example, this prevents server-directed restores and also
remote changes to the client properties. If this box is selected, you can clear it
only by modifying the configuration on the client. By default, server writes are
allowed.
Required Network Interface
Specifies the network interface that NetBackup uses when connecting to
another NetBackup client or server. A NetBackup client or server can have
more than one network interface. To force NetBackup connections to be made
on a specific network interface, use this entry to specify the network host name
of that interface. By default, the operating system determines the one to use.
