BackupPortmapper Name Change - The term Backup Portmapperhas been
changed to Storage Management Portmapperwith this release.
BackupResource and Attribute Changes -This release includes several Backup
resource and attribute changes. The Name attribute of the NSR device resource
has been changed to have a two-part value. The first part is an optional hostname.
The hostname is prefixed with RD=for a remote device. If the hostname is not
specified, it assumes the device resides on the local server. The second part is the
device name, separated from the hostname by a colon.
-A new hidden attribute has been added to the NSR device resource. It is called
Recover Only. The default for this attribute is No. It can be set to Yes when you
define the device or update its definition. A Yes indicates the device can be
used for recovery operations only.
-Another attribute has been added to the NSR device resource. It is called Target
Sessions. The default value for Target Sessions is 4. You can change the value
from 1 to 512 when a device is configured on the Backup server, depending on
base enabler and other enablers loaded. This attribute replaces the sessions per
devicedefined in the NSR resource in pre-5.0.1 releases.
-A Storage Nodes attribute has been added to the NSR Client resource. This
new field contains a list that contains the storage nodes for the client. This list
directs the server to store data for the client to either local devices or a
particular storage node's remote devices.
-A Clone Storage Nodes attribute has also been added. This attribute allows
you to specify a different network interface for storage nodes that perform
cloning operations than the network interface you specify for the storage
node's remote device.
-Two new attributes have been added to the NSR resource. One isnsrmmd
polling interval, which controls the time interval between polls of remote
nsrmmds. The second is nsrmmd restart intervalwhich sets the time interval that
nsrdwaits before restarting a nsrmmd. The restart interval begins when nsrd
first detects a nsrmmdhas terminated. For local nsrmmds, this detection is
immediate. For remote nsrmmds, the detection will usually start when the
nsrmmdis missing from a polling reply, or the polling event timed out without
a reply.
-The default value for both of these intervals is 2 minutes. The polling interval
can range from 1 to 60 minutes, while the restart interval can have a value from
0 to 60 minutes. A value of 0 for the restart interval means an immediate restart
is desired. Changing the value of these attributes resets the currently running
nsrmmds. For example, setting the pooling interval from 2 minutes to 10
minutes resets the next polling interval for all currently running nsrmmds to 10
minutes from now. Similarly, changing the restart interval from 2 minutes to 0
will causes any nsrmmds waiting to restart immediately.
