METER:DIRECTORY

This read-only field displays the directory in which to store data stream metering information.

Default value: UNIX: /usr/openv/var/global/wmc/cloud or /usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloud (on media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only)

Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\var\global\wmc\cloud or install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\db\cloud\ (on media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only)

METER:INTERVAL

The interval at which NetBackup gathers connection information for reporting purposes.

The value is set in seconds. The default setting is 300 seconds (5 minutes). If you set this value to zero, metering is disabled.

To change this property, configure the Metering interval in the Scalable Storage host properties.

See Scalable Storage properties.

Default value: 300

Possible values: 1 to 10000

PREFIX:CURL_CONNECT_TIMEOUT

The amount of time that is allocated for the media server to connect to the cloud storage server. This value is specified in seconds. The default is 300 seconds or five minutes.

This only limits the connection time, not the session time. If the media server cannot connect to the cloud storage server in the specified time, the job fails.

This value cannot be disabled. If an invalid number is entered, the CURL_CONNECT_TIMEOUT returns to the default value of 300.

Default value: 300

Possible values: 1 to 10000

PREFIX:CURL_TIMEOUT

The maximum time in seconds to allow for the completion of a data operation. This value is specified in seconds. If the operation does not complete in the specified time, the operation fails. The default is 900 seconds (15 minutes). To disable this setting, set the value to 0 (zero).

Default value: 900

Possible values: 1 to 10000

PREFIX:LOG_CURL

Determines if cURL activity is logged. The default is NO which means log activity is disabled.

Default value: NO

Possible values: NO (disabled) and YES (enabled)

PREFIX:READ_BUFFER_SIZE

The size of the buffer to use for read operations. READ_BUFFER_SIZE is specified in bytes.

To enable the use of the buffer, set this value to a non-zero number.

The READ_BUFFER_SIZE determines the size of the data packets that the storage server transmits during each restore job. An increase in the value may increase performance when a large amount of contiguous data is accessed. If insufficient bandwidth exists to transmit the specified amount of data within a few minutes, restore failures may occur due to time-outs. When you calculate the required bandwidth, consider the total load of simultaneous backup jobs and restore jobs on multiple media servers.

See About object size for cloud storage.

PREFIX:USE_SSL

Determines if Secure Sockets Layer encryption is used for the control APIs. The default value is YES, meaning SSL is enabled.

Default value: YES

Possible values: YES or NO

PREFIX:USE_SSL_RW

Determines if Secure Sockets Layer encryption is used for read and write operations. The default value is YES, meaning SSL is enabled.

Default value: YES

Possible values: YES or NO

Provider Suffix: USE_CRL

If SSL is enabled and the CRL option is enabled, each non-self-signed SSL certificate is verified against the CRL.

PREFIX: OBJECT_SIZE

The size of the data object that NetBackup sends to the cloud storage server with an HTTP PUT and GET requests.

Object Size is specified in bytes. You cannot edit the Object Size once you set the value.

PREFIX: WRITE_BUFFER_NUM

This parameter is not applicable for Amazon S3-compatible cloud providers.

This read-only field displays the total number of write buffers the plug-in uses. The WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE value defines the size of the buffer. The value is set to 1 and cannot be changed.

Default value: 1

Possible values: 1

PREFIX:WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE

The size of the buffer to use for write operations. WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE is specified in bytes.

To disable the use of the buffer, set this value to 0 (zero).

The WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE value determines the size of the data packs transmitted from the data mover to the storage server during a backup. An increase in the value may increase performance when a large amount of contiguous data is accessed. If insufficient bandwidth exists to transmit the specified amount of data within a few minutes, backup failures may occur due to time-outs. When you calculate the required bandwidth, consider the total load of simultaneous backup jobs and restore jobs on multiple media servers.
