Drive Count Timeout

When NetBackup checks for drive availability, it also counts the drives that are available for backups. This information is then used to prevent scheduling too many jobs for the number of drives.

The only setting associated with counting drives is the length of time that the scheduler waits for the count to complete. If you have problems with timeouts, you can extend the time that the scheduler waits by using the NetBackup host property, BPTM (Drive Count) Query Timeout. See BPTM (Drive Count) Query Timeout.

The BPTM Query Timeout setting corresponds to BPTM_QUERY_TIMEOUT in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
