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

Maxcmdretries

Authorized User

The maxcmdretries option specifies the maximum number of times the client scheduler (on your workstation) attempts to process a scheduled command that fails. The command retry starts only if the client scheduler has not yet backed up a file, never connected to the server, or failed before backing up a file. Use this option only when the scheduler is running.

Note:
The Tivoli Storage Manager Client API does not support this option.

Your administrator can also set this option. If your administrator specifies a value for this option, that value overrides what you specify in the client options file after your client node successfully contacts the server.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX clients.

Options File

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