Hi Jason
In a nice real world, if the server was up, then the timeouts would take
affect.
As you mentioned this was an early power down - what was the backup server
doing - was there tapes in the robotic library? Did the robot go down as
well?
>From experience, if a power outage occurs, that was not planned, and once
Netbackup sorts itself out, it may fail with an alternative status code.
But it depends on your setup really. Was anything logged in the client. Is
your master set to retry backups. Was there other error status codes before
it finally ended with a code?
Any info may help :-)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Shortening Timeouts
Last night, we had some of our servers powered down for some early morning
power maintenance. I have been looking at the logs for the backups to
analyze failures. One thing I have noticed is that for the powered off
servers, it took over 3 hours for the job to fail. Given that the server is
unavailable, and looking at my Timeout settings on the Master, why would it
take 3 hours, rather than 5 minutes? Is there a way to expedite the failing
of jobs for unreachable hosts?
Thanks,
Jason
