How to stop NB from downing drives?
I have VTL's so i dont want netbackup to down drives after x number of failures. Anyone know where this setting is located? Or if it's even configurable?
NB 7.0.1 - OREL4 master
Settings exist in EMM database for each media server.
Check as follows: nbemmcmd -listsettings -machinename <media-server>
Look for:
DRIVE_ERROR_THRESHOLD="2"
MEDIA_ERROR_THRESHOLD="2"
TIME_WINDOW="12"change with:
nbemmcmd -changesetting -DRIVE_ERROR_THRESHOLD <number> -machinename <media-server>
nbemmcmd -changesetting -TIME_WINDOW <number> -machinename <media-server>I suggest you increase the error threshold and reduce the time window.
See NetBackup Commands http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127047 for full details.
Changing the values to effictively disable NBU Downing the drives might just mask possible hardware problems - VTL's DO experience hardware problems from time to time!
