Configuring connection settings for NetVault SmartDisk

The connection settings specify the period for which NetVault makes retry attempts to establish a TCP connection to a NetVault SmartDisk and the time between retry attempts.

By default, the connection retry mechanism is disabled. Under most circumstances, you do not need to configure the connection settings for NetVault SmartDisk. If your backups report “failure to bind port” errors, then you can configure these settings to enable the connection retry mechanism.

To configure connection settings for NetVault SmartDisk devices:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Services, click RAS Devices. In the RAS Devices dialog box, configure the following settings:
•
Time limit for retrying a SmartDisk connection: This setting specifies how long the NetVault Server tries to establish a connection to a NetVault SmartDisk device after the initial attempt fails.
The default value for this setting is zero (0). When set to zero (0), NetVault does not make any retry attempts. If NetVault fails to establish a connection due to insufficient ports, you can configure this setting to retry the connections for a specified period that allows the operating system to recycle the sockets for use. You can set the retry time to any value between 0 and 300 seconds.
•
Time (in seconds) between retries for a SmartDisk connection: This setting specifies the time between retry attempts. You can set the retry interval to any value between 0 and 60 seconds.

Configuring Schedule Manager settings

Configuring default job priority settings

About Schedule Manager

The Schedule Manager (nvsched) runs on the NetVault Server. This process manages the job schedules and queues. It also manages the Scheduler Database.

The Schedule Manager initiates the Job Manager to start a job instance, and schedules the next instance for recurring jobs; the Job Manager runs the job. This process also updates the Job Status page and provides job scheduling data to the Reporting utility.

You can modify the Schedule Manager settings from the Change Settings page.

Configuring default settings for Schedule Manager

To configure default settings for Schedule Manager:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Services, click Schedule Manager. In the Schedule Manager dialog box, configure the following settings.
 
Table 136. Schedule Manager settings
Setting
Description

Number of days to keep job status

This setting determines display period for job status records.

The default setting is seven days. To change the display period, type or select a new value. The display period is specified in number of days.

NOTE: This setting just hides the display of job status records on the NetVault WebUI. It does not delete the records from the Scheduler Database.

Number of days to keep report job histories in the database

This setting determines the retention period for report job history.

The default setting is 90 days. To change the retention period, type or select a new value. The retention period is specified in number of days. After the retention period expires, these records are removed from the Scheduler Database.

Number of days to keep other job histories in the database

This setting determines the retention period for backup and restore job history.

The default setting is 90 days. To change the retention period, type or select a new value. The retention period is specified in number of days. After the retention period expires, these records are removed from the Scheduler Database.

Number of days to keep non-scheduled jobs in the database

This setting determines the retention period for non-repeating jobs.

The default value for this setting is 0 (zero). With the default setting, the job definitions of non-repeating jobs are retained indefinitely. To delete these jobs after a specified period, type or select a new value. The retention period is specified in number of days.

NOTE: Because the jobs using the Triggered schedule type have no physical scheduled time, they are also deleted after the specified period elapses. If you are using Triggered jobs in your NetVault environment, do not use this setting.
NOTE: This setting is also applied to report jobs that use any non-repeating schedule type. Therefore, we recommend that you do not change the default value for this setting. If the default value is changed, canned reports that have run once using any non-repeating schedule are removed from the View Reports page after the specified interval.

Maximum simultaneously active jobs

This setting determines the maximum number of simultaneous jobs that you can run in NetVault.

By default, the Schedule Manager supports a maximum of 200 simultaneous jobs, including backup, restore and report jobs. To change the setting, type or select a new value.

NOTE: Each active job requires some amount of shared memory. An increase in the number of active jobs might have an impact on the overall performance of NetVault.
