During the delay period, NetBackup checks every 60 seconds to see if the drive
is ready. If the drive is ready, NetBackup uses it. Otherwise, it waits another 60
seconds and checks again. If the total delay is not a multiple of 60, the last wait
is the remainder. If the delay is less than 60 seconds, NetBackup checks only
once at the end of the delay.
For example, assume the delay is 150 seconds:
MEDIA_REQUEST_DELAY = 150
Here, NetBackup waits 60 seconds, checks for ready, waits 60 seconds, checks
for ready, and then waits 30 seconds and checks for ready the last time. If the
delay had been 50 seconds (this short a delay is not recommended), NetBackup
would have checked only once, at the end of 50 seconds.
By default, the delay is 0 seconds.
Client Attributes Tab
The Client Attributes tab permits you to change properties for the clients of the
master server that was selected when you opened this dialog box. The
following topics explain the settings on this tab.
Client Database List Box
Lists the clients that are in the client database on the master server that was
selected when you opened this dialog box. The client must be in this database
before you can change its settings on this tab. The client database consists of
directories and files in the following directory:
install_path
\NetBackup\db\client
If the desired clients are not listed, use the Add button to add them. Use the
Delete button to delete clients from the database.
Note:
If you are using dynamic addressing (DHCP), use the
bpclient
command to add clients to the client database. See “Dynamic Host Name and
IP Addressing” on page 147 for instructions.
