Jason,

I don't have the answer for you, but I do have a link that may cover some of
your questions in greater detail.

http://www.cdpi.com/cdpnew/otm/otm.asp

This is the webpage for columbia data products, the makers of OTM.  There
are some articles and white papers/tech notes that may answer those
questions for you.

I hope this is helpful.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] OTM question


I am reading about OTM, and have a question:

1) The Busy file wait is settable by the administrator, and defaults to 5
seconds. Why 5 seconds? Would not a shorter wait make more sense? If a
system is budy, it might never get 5 seconds dead time, which would make OTM
not start up. Adn what happens if there is a disk write while OTM is
starting up? The manual is not very clear on this particular point.

Jason
