Re: [Veritas-bu] What happened to NO_STANDALONE_UNLOAD / ltid -nsu?
2008-08-15 17:10:37
This setting, in fact, can't be in vm.conf (but maybe the upgrade process
scans for known touch files? I dont' recall), and the other way to do it was to
alter the netbackup RC startup script (to pass the -nsu flag to ltid) which also
no longer works. In any case, if it's possible to scan for vm.conf settings and
touchfiles once, there's really no excuse not to do so when EMM starts up on a
master server: again, rule of least surprise.

Keep in mind that most settings like this could have been in
vm.conf. If they were, then during upgrade nbpushdata adds them to emm
automatically. -Tim

Because it makes sense for EMM to
fail to get its initial settings from the touchfiles everybody's already
used to, of course, and to do everything through a new management
interface.
Don't get me wrong, it IS nice not to have to bounce daemons
in order to put these things into effect, but it sure seems like a lot of
the EMM changes violate the law of least surprise...
