Defining Windows VSS test flags
The client uses two different test flags to configure the number of Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) retries and how long between retries.
The following test flags are used to set the retry and
retry interval of IBM
Storage Protect:
- SETVSSMAXRETRY
- Specifies the number of times the VSS backup process is retried if a transient error occurs. The default value is to retry three times.
- SETVSSDELAY
- Specifies the number of seconds to wait between retries of the VSS backup process, should a transient error occur. The default value is 60 seconds.
Option file example:
retry 10 times at 300 second intervals
TESTFLAG SETVSSMAXRETRY:10
TESTFLAG SETVSSDELAY:300
