Backup Manager Advanced Parameters
Warning: Making changes to Advanced Parameters should not be undertaken unless the user understands the impact of the parameter changes. If undesired results occur, revert the settings and contact APTARE Global Support Services or visit the APTARE Community web site for further guidance.
The following advanced parameters apply to Backup Manager data collection and can be added using:
Admin > Advanced > Parameters, described in Adding an Advanced Parameter. COMMVAULT_OLDEST_JOB_HOURS
Valid Values: 0 or higher (Default = 0 to force collection of all jobs)
Scope: This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level.
This advanced parameter applies to CommVault Simpana data collection. Specifies how many hours to retrieve historical jobs on the first collection only. If you only want to collect jobs from the last week, you don't need this advanced parameter. You can also specify positive values for this number of hours; for example, 168 = 1 week.
MMINFO_MOVE_BACKWARD_MIN
Valid Values: 0 or higher (Default = 30)
Scope: This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level.
This advanced parameter applies to NetWorker data collection. The data collection event thread runs every 10 minutes to get all the finished jobs that have been created after the last jobs that were captured during the last collection cycle, plus 30 minutes of additional time to account for long-running jobs.
For long-running backups, it may be necessary to configure the MMINFO_MOVE_BACKWARD_MIN Advanced Parameter to ensure that all NetWorker savesets are collected successfully. The default value is 30 minutes, but for long-running backups, that time may need to be adjusted because 30 minutes may not be long enough to capture all the jobs. For example, some jobs can last several hours.
Note that if a value of less than 30 minutes is configured, the Data Collector uses the default 30 minutes.
NBU_DUP_JOB_PARTIAL_STATUS_OVERRIDE
Valid Values: Y or N (Default = N)
Scope: This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level.
This advanced parameter applies to NetBackup data collection. Set this parameter to Y to set NetBackup backup job statuses to the associated duplication job status. Note that this can cause issues when the Duplication job is duplicating multiple backup jobs and some of these jobs fail (causing all backup job statuses to be set to 1 - Partial success).
NO_AVAMAR_CLI
Valid Values: Y or N (Default = N)
Scope: This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level.
This advanced parameter applies to Avamar data collection. Due to security restrictions, some customers do not want to run command-line interface (CLI) commands on their Avamar servers. To turn off CLI commands, set this parameter to Y. This should be set on a per-collector basis.
USE_NTML_V2
Valid Values: Y or N (Default = N)
Scope: This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level.
This advanced parameter applies to Backup Exec data collection. When set to Y, the Backup Exec Data Collector uses NTMLv2 authentication.
SUPPRESS_KERBEROS_PROMPT
Valid Values: Y or N (Default = N)
Scope: This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level.
Data collection may trigger a Kerberos authentication prompt that can cause the collector to hang until the authentication passes.
