Hi dave, Hope you found the answer, but if not, my best guess would be the global setting 'backup start notify timeout' setting on the Admin Console > Netbackup Management > Host properties > master server properties > timeout.
Is this overriding the other timeout setting in bp.conf? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Markham Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 4:01 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] bpstart timeout not honoured Guys i have a bpstart script on a client which initiates an RMAN backup (i just emailed about it 2 mins ago for a different reason). As the RMAN backup takes some time i have put the following into bp.conf on the client that initiates the bpstart CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 24000 BPSTART_TIMEOUT = 2400 After some investigation it seems a job has exited with status 74 after 11000 seconds saying bpstart failed to complete. It then causes the script to run again as i have retries per 12 hours set to 2. Anyone any idea why the time out is not being honoured for the client?
