This property specifies
the number of seconds to use for the client-read timeout. This
timeout can apply to a NetBackup master, remote media server, or
database-extension client (such as NetBackup for Oracle). The
default is 300 seconds.
The client-read timeout
on a database-extension client is a special case. Clients can
initially require more time to get ready than other clients. More
time is required because database backup utilities frequently start
several backup jobs at the same time, slowing the central
processing unit.

Note:
|
For
database-extension clients, Symantec suggests that the Client read timeout be set to a value greater
than 5 minutes. Fifteen minutes are adequate for many
installations. For other clients, change Client read timeout only if the client encounters
problems.
|
The sequence on a database-extension client is as
follows:
-
NetBackup on the database-extension client reads
the client's client-read timeout to find the initial value. If the
option is not set, the standard 5-minute default is used.
-
When the database-extension API receives the
server's value, it uses it as the client-read timeout.
