Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Changingretries

Authorized User

The changingretries option specifies how many additional times you want the client to attempt to back up or archive a file that is in use. Use this option with the archive, incremental, and selective commands.

Use this option only when serialization, an attribute in a management class copy group, is shared static or shared dynamic.

With shared static serialization, if a file is open during an operation, the operation repeats the number of times that you specify. If the file is open during each attempt, the operation does not complete.

With shared dynamic serialization, if a file is open during an operation, the operation repeats the number of times that you specify. The backup or archive occurs during the last attempt whether the file is open or not.

Notes:

  1. The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.
  2. The server can also define this option.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX clients.

Options File

Place this option in the client system options file dsm.sys.
