Media Unmount Delay

This property appears for master and media servers only.

Specifying a Media Unmount Delay property indicates that media unload is delayed for the number of seconds indicated, after the requested operation is complete. Media Unmount Delay applies only to user operations, including backups and restores of database agent clients, such as those running NetBackup for Oracle. The delay reduces unnecessary media unmounts and media positioning in cases where the media is requested again a short time later.

The delay can range from 0 to 1800 seconds. (Default: 180 seconds.) If you specify 0, the media unmount occurs immediately upon completion of the requested operation. Values greater than 1800 are set to 1800.

The Media Unmount Delay setting corresponds to MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
