Hi dave,

Hope you found the answer, but if not, my best guess would be the global
setting 'backup start notify timeout' setting on the Admin Console >
Netbackup Management > Host properties > master server properties >
timeout. 

Is this overriding the other timeout setting in bp.conf?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] bpstart timeout not honoured

Guys i have a bpstart script on a client which initiates an RMAN backup
(i just emailed about it 2 mins ago for a different reason).

As the RMAN backup takes some time i have put the following into bp.conf
on the client that initiates the bpstart

CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 24000
BPSTART_TIMEOUT = 2400

After some investigation it seems a job has exited with status 74 after
11000 seconds saying bpstart failed to complete. It then causes the
script to run again as i have retries per 12 hours set to 2.

Anyone any idea why the time out is not being honoured for the client?

Cheers
Dave
