RHV_AUTODISCOVERY_INTERVAL option for NetBackup servers

This option controls how often NetBackup scans the RHV servers to discover virtual machines to display in the NetBackup web UI.

NetBackup attempts autodiscovery first with the same host for which the last discovery attempt was successful. If autodiscovery fails with that host, NetBackup tries again with other hosts in the following order:

  • The NetBackup master server

  • The access host, client, or proxy server

  • The media server

Table: RHV_AUTODISCOVERY_INTERVAL information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup master servers.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

The default is 28,800 seconds (8 hours). The minimum value is 300 seconds (5 minutes) and the maximum is 31,536,000 seconds (1 year).

Use the following format:

RHV_AUTODISCOVERY_INTERVAL = number of seconds

For example:

RHV_AUTODISCOVERY_INTERVAL = 100000

This entry should appear only once in the configuration file.

Note:

After changing this option, stop and restart the NetBackup services. For VM discovery, the Netbackup Discovery Framework service must be running.
