■ Optimizedduplication failover.By default, ifan optimizedduplication jobfails,
NetBackup does not run the job again.
■ Number of optimized duplication attempts. You can specify the number of
timesNetBackupretries anoptimizeddeduplication jobbeforeit failsthejobs.
■ Storagelifecycle policy retries.If theoptimized deduplication jobis configured
in a storage lifecycle policy, NetBackup retries the job three times.
Caution: These settings affect all optimized duplication jobs, not just optimized
deduplication copy jobs.
To configure NetBackup to revert to normal duplication if an optimized job fails
◆
Add the following entry to the bp.conf file on the NetBackup master server:
RESUME_ORIG_DUP_ON_OPT_DUP_FAIL = TRUE
On Windows systems, NetBackup configuration options are in the Windows
registry.
To configure the number of duplication attempts
◆
Add an OPT_DUP_BUSY_RETRY_LIMIT entry in the NetBackup behavior file.
For example, the following entry configures NetBackup to retry the job four
times before NetBackup fails the job:
OPT_DUP_BUSY_RETRY_LIMIT 4
The behavior file resides in the following directories:
■ UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/behavior
■ Windows: install_path\NetBackup\db\config\behavior.
To configure the number of storage lifecycle policy retries
◆
Delay more retries by adding an IMAGE_EXTENDED_RETRY_PERIOD_IN_HOURS
entryin theNetBackup behaviorfile. Thedefault forthisvalue isthree hours.
Adding a load balancing server
You can add a load balancing server to an existing media server deduplication
node.
