Parameter

Permitted values

Default value

Description

ENABLE_MINUS_T_OPTION

Y / N

Y

This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level. This advanced parameter applies to NetBackup data collection.

Based on advanced parameter value, the schedule for the job details probe in Netbackup policy is determined as follows :

  • If the value is set to 'Y', then the schedule is 5 mins.

  • If the value is set to 'N', then the schedule is 35 mins.

The schedule configuration is displayed in Veritas NetBackup Data Collector >> Active Probes >> Job Details option.

Set this parameter to Y to indicate "Job Details" probe to collect only those NetBackup jobs which were modified/created since the last jobs collection.

Note:

Setting this parameter to Y can potentially reduce CPU load as well as improve job collection performance.

NBSTL_UTIL_WITH_U_OPTION

Y / N

N

Advanced parameter to control execution of command with and without -U.

This parameter can be set at the Data Collector level for NetBackup SLP Job details probe.

Setting the parameter value to 'N', the nbstlutil command, which is used for SLP Job Details Probe, is executed without -U option.

Note:

Parameter value with option 'N' improves performance.

If the parameter value is set to 'Y', then the same command will be executed with -U option.
