About Job Manager

The Job Manager process (nvjobmgr) runs on the NetVault Server and manages the execution of a job.

The Schedule Manager starts the Job Manager. A single instance of Job Manager runs for each job until the completion of the job. The Job Manager reports on the job run status and exit status. This process coordinates with the Data Plug-in and fetches the required information from the NetVault Server. It is also responsible for sending drive and media requests to the Media Manager process.

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

Configuring default settings for Job Manager

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

Description

Job Keep Alive rate

Keep-alive messages are used to verify network connection between two NetVault machines and to keep this connection intact. The keep‑alive rate setting controls how often keep-alive messages are sent between the Job Manager running on the server and the Data Plug-in running on a client.

The default value is 5 minutes. To change the interval, type or select a new value. The keep-alive rate is specified in number of minutes.

CLI utility nvjobcreate will return exit status

By default, the nvjobcreate utility returns the Job ID on success and “0” on failure.

When you select this check box, the nvjobcreate utility returns the exit code “0” on success and “1” on failure.

To determine the Job ID number when the nvjobcreate utility is configured to return the exit status, you can use the -jobidfile option. The Job ID number is written to the specified file. For more information about this option, see the Quest NetVault CLI Reference Guide.

Allow VMware plugin jobs to be distributed on other VMware backup proxy

To distribute the backup jobs running on a Plug-in for VMware to the other VMware backup proxies, select this check box.

By default, this check box is clear.

Jobs threshold for VMware Backup Proxy

If you want to change the default threshold from 2, enter the applicable number for the jobs threshold for VMware Backup Proxy setting.

This value indicates the number of VMware proxy jobs that can run on the same VMware proxy before the next job is distributed to the same proxy or a different one, depending on the load balancing.

About Logging Daemon

The Logging Daemon (nvlogdaemon) runs on the NetVault Server. This process starts along with the NetVault Service.

The Logging Daemon manages the log messages generated by various NetVault processes and writes these messages to the NetVault Database. Log messages contain information that can be used for diagnosing and troubleshooting problems. The Logging Daemon also performs periodic disk space checks, and issues alert messages when the space usage level reaches the Warning or Critical Threshold. These checks apply to the NetVault Home, Database, Logs, and Reports directories.

You can modify the Logging Daemon settings from the Change Settings page.
