Reducing startup delay

When the NetVault Service starts, it attempts to resolve all client IP addresses listed in the machines.dat file, which resides in the etc directory under the NetVault installation directory. Resolving all client addresses can cause a significant delay in the service startup and the machine can appear unresponsive during this time. You can reduce or avoid the startup delay by specifying the addresses that are not to be resolved during startup.

To configure default settings for a NetVault Client, click Choose machine. In the Choose machine drawer, select the client, and click Go to settings.
3
Under Services, click Network Manager.
4
In the Network Manager dialog box, under Connections, configure the following setting:
Comma separated list of networks and addresses not to resolve: To reduce or avoid the startup delay, specify the addresses that are not to be resolved during startup.
To get the list of networks from the machines.dat file, issue the following command on Windows:
Based on this output, you can configure the following values in the Comma separated list of networks and addresses not to resolve box:
The clients that are offline and listed on the Manage Clients page can also cause the startup delay. To speed up the process, you can remove the clients that are offline or no longer in use.

Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box.

Configuring default port for Network Manager

The Network Manager is configured to use port 20031 to open TCP and UDP sockets on a client. If this port is in use by any other application, the NetVault Service fails immediately after startup. When this error occurs, you must change the default port for Network Manager.

Use the following procedure to change the default port on the NetVault Server and all clients.

1
Open the file nvnmgr.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault installation directory.

Configuring default port for Communications Manager

The Communications Manager is configured to use port 20032 to open TCP sockets on a client. If this port is in use by any other application, the NetVault Service fails immediately after startup. When this error occurs, you must change the default port for Communications Manager.

Use the following procedure to change the default port on the NetVault Server and all clients.

1
Open the file configure.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault installation directory.
