Configuring default settings for Verify Plug-in

Configuring default settings for Verify Plug‑in

With a backup job, you can choose to run the verification phase to check the correctness and completeness of a backup at the end of data transfer. NetVault uses the built-in Verify plug-in to perform the verification phase. The Verify plug-in verifies the stream length written to the media and ensures that no blocks were dropped during backup. While the actual backup runs as Phase 1, backup verification runs as Phase 2 of the backup job.

By default, the backup verification job runs on the NetVault Server. You can modify the configuration settings for the plug-in to run the verification on an alternate client or locally on specified clients.

To configure default settings for the Verify Plug-in:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Plugins, click Verify. In the Verify dialog box, configure the following settings.
 
Table 122. Default settings for Verify plug-in
Setting
Description

Always run Verify locally

By default, the verification phase runs on the NetVault Server.

To avoid data transfers over the network, you can choose to run verification locally on the clients to which the device used for backup is attached. This option is globally applied to all clients. It does not work for clients that do not have a locally attached backup device.

Comma separated list of clients that verify locally

If your backup jobs are distributed across multiple client-attached devices, use this setting to specify a comma-separated list of clients that can run the verification phase locally.

Default client to run Verify

To configure an alternate client to run all verification jobs, specify the client name.

This setting is useful if you use a client-attached device for your backups. It allows you to select the same client to run backup verification jobs.

 
* 
NOTE: You must configure these settings on the NetVault Server.

About Deployment Manager

The Deployment Manager process (nvdeploymentmgr) runs on the NetVault Server. This process manages the push installation tasks.

You can use the push installation method to perform the following tasks:

•
Install and upgrade the NetVault Client software simultaneously on multiple machines
•
Install and upgrade NetVault plug-ins simultaneously on multiple machines
•
Add new clients to the NetVault Server

For more information about the push installation method, see Installing software from WebUI (push installation).

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

Configuring default settings for Deployment Manager

To modify default settings for Deployment Manager:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Services, click Deployment Manager. In the Deployment Manager dialog box, configure the following settings.
 
Table 123. Deployment Manager settings
Setting
Description

Maximum simultaneously active deployment processes on server

By default, 50 concurrent deployment processes can run on the server.

To change the number of deployments that can be run in parallel at any time, type or select the new value.

Maximum time a deployment task should wait when processing a client

This setting determines the amount of time the Deployment Manager waits for a response from a remote client during the client addition phase.

The default value is 300 seconds. The timeout interval can be between 30 and 900 seconds.

Skip Remote Machine Cleanup

This setting lets users change the behavior of client-side log cleanup. By default, it skips cleanup on the remove target machine.
