Netbackup SLP window override?

[elanmbx]

Does anyone know of any way to override the SLP window cancellation of duplication job that is currently queued?

I have some dupes, just on one media server, that I would like to allow to run through my regular backup window, but I can't figure out how to tell the dupe job to NOT cancel when the regular backup window starts.

Perhaps it's not possible... but I thought I'd check!

It is possible by command line using SLP version.

Your queued SLP job is either current or an older version. Use "nbstl -L -all_versions" to find out.

You can then modify the attribute of a certain version of SLP:

The attribute to use would be -wcopt  (window close option), by default it's SFN.

Aaccording to admin guide:

■ SFN - Finish processing the active images. The window closes, but
NetBackup continues to process the active images until they are finished.
NetBackup does not begin to process any other images until the window
reopens.
■ SHN - Cancel the processing of the active images. The window closes and
NetBackup immediately stops processing the active images. When the
window reopens, NetBackup begins to process the images where it left off

The commnad to change maybe tricky if you have not done it before. Show me the output of "nbstl -L -all_versions" and tell me which version & what to change, I can guide you through.

I'll mess with this command - it seems to only be a single SLP at this point, so it may not be too terribly difficult to modify the images involved.
