Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
AllowAutoConfig | Allows DS-Client to apply auto-configuration from the file config-update.xml. • Yes = On (Default) • No = Off |
Auto Upgrade | Allows auto-upgrade of DS-Client from DS-System when the versions do not match. • Yes = On (Default) • No = Off Note: The automatic upgrade must be approved by the administrator using the DS-Operator. |
Config Keep Days | Number of days to retain old copies of the DS-Client configuration file. • Default: 30 • Range: 1-99 |
DB2 Client Library Directory | Specifies the DB2 client library directory on the DS-Client machine. Ensure that the dynamic library <libdb2.so.1> resides in this directory. Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect. |
DefaultLocalTrashKeepDays | Number of days to keep data in the Local-only trash. This applies to all Local-only paths defined for the DS-Client. • Default: 7 • Range: 1-999 |
DS-UserAutoUpgrade | Specifies which DS-User auto-upgrade package DS-Client downloads from DS-System if are available. • Default: Compatible-Platform DS-User Auto-Upgrade: DS-Client only downloads the DS-User upgrade packages which are compatible with the operating system of the DS-Client. • Disabled: DS-User auto-upgrade packages will not be automatically downloaded from the DS-System. • Cross-Platform DS-User Auto-Upgrade: DS-Client downloads all DS-User auto-upgrade packages that exist on the DS-System to the DS-Client directory during Daily Admin or Weekly Admin. |
LogArchivePath | Path where detailed logs of DS-Client activities are stored as text files. Each backup has its own numbered sub-folder. • Default: <DS-Client installation folder>/asigra_archivelog Any path where the DS-Client can write data is valid. |
MCRemoteManagement | Allows the DS-Client to be remotely managed from the Management Console without opening a port in the firewall on the DS-Client machine. • Enabled (Default) • Disabled |
Multi-Tenant | Enables the multitenant feature. • No = Off (Default) • Yes = On |
ReadOnlyUpgradeInterval | Interval (in minutes) at which DS-Client checks for an upgrade package from DS-System if it is running in Read-Only mode (no backup or restore allowed). • Default: 5 • Range: 1-32000 |
ScheduleMiss | Number of hours after the schedule start time that a missed schedule will still be triggered by the DS-Client. For example, if the value of this parameter is set to 6 and a schedule from 12:00 PM to 20:00 PM is missed, the schedule will still be triggered as long as it is within 6 hours of the scheduled start time and end time. • Default: 6 • Range: 1 to 16 |
Skip Compress | Skips compression on the following types of compressed files: lzop, zip, standard linux compression, gzip, bzip2, scocompress, bzip, jpeg, jfif, png, and gif. • Yes = On (Default) • No = Off Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect. |
VMware Log Filter | Specifies a filter in Perl regular expression format. A regex search operation is performed and only matching lines are printed to the dsclient.out log file. This filter does not apply to the vmlibexe.out file. Each regex is a search ‘for’ that string, with all occurrences printed to the log file. • Default: . (dot, meaning log all) |
VMware Log Level | Varies the amount and type of logging information inside the following log files: • dsclient.out — Contains the VMware related log messages generated from the DS-Client. • vmlibexec.out — Contains the log messages DS-Client receives from the VMware libraries. From the lowest to the highest level of logging: • none (Default) = No logging • error = Log errors • debug = Debug logging • warning = Log warnings • info = Log information messages • trace = Trace (log everything) |
VMware Path Escape | Specifies how DS-Client handles VMware data paths. Since HTTP is used, URL paths can require ‘path escaping’ for special characters (meaning the use of ‘%26’ instead of ‘&’ in a URL path). • auto (Default) — DS-Client tries to determine what path format is required. • no — Never use ‘escape characters’ in paths. • yes — Always use ‘escape characters’ in paths. Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect. |
VMware SOAP Debug | Writes trace logs of any SOAP requests to the /tmp folder on the DS-Client. • No = Off (Default) • Yes = On Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect. |
VMware VADP TransportMode | Transport mode that DS-Client requests from the VMware libraries when initializing a connection for data transfer to or from a data center. • Empty (Default) — The library automatically chooses the transport mode based on the VMware priorities among the available transport modes. • nbd — Network block device transport mode. • nbdssl — Network block device SSL transport mode. • san — SAN transport mode. • hotadd — HotAdd transport mode. For more information about the transport modes, see “VMware vCenter Server backups (Windows or Linux)”. |
VMware VADP Verify Disk Signature | Forces all VMware vCenter Server backups that have Changed Block Tracking (CBT) enabled to validate the disk signature of a protected virtual machine after a specified number of backups. The interval count starts from the first backup after the setting is enabled. If a disk signature mismatch is detected, a master generation is sent to the DS-System for the affected virtual disk (vmdk). Verification consumes more system resources and increases the backup time, especially if the signature verification fails and requires backup of a new master. • -1 = Disables disk signature validation for all affected backups. • 0 (Default) = Uses the disk signature validation setting configured for each backup. • 1 = Validates the disk signature after every backup for all affected backups. • 2 to 100 = Validates the disk signature after the specified number of backups for all affected backups. Note: The disk signature validation setting will be reset to 0 each time the setting is applied to all affected backups. |
VMware VADP Verify Disk Signature Time | Forces all VMware vCenter Server backups that have Changed Block Tracking (CBT) enabled to validate the disk signature of a protected virtual machine on specified days. If a disk signature mismatch is detected, a master generation is sent to the DS-System for the affected virtual disk (vmdk). Verification consumes more system resources and increases the backup time, especially if the signature verification fails and requires backup of a new master. • 0 (Default) = Disk signature validation is not performed on weekday. • 1 = Validates the disk signature on a Sunday. • 2 = Validates the disk signature on a Monday. • 4 = Validates the disk signature on a Tuesday. • 8 = Validates the disk signature on a Wednesday. • 16 = Validates the disk signature on a Thursday. • 32 = Validates the disk signature on a Friday. • 64 = Validates the disk signature on a Saturday. Note: To perform disk signature validation on multiple days, add the values together. For example, to validate the disk signature on Sunday (1), Tuesday (4), and Friday (32), specify 37. |
VMware VixDiskLib Configfile Path | Path to the VMware Virtual Disk Library configuration file for VMware-VIX backup type only. Configuring this parameter is necessary only if you want to define your own configuration file and specify different settings. Refer to the VMware documentation for more information. • Default: blank — The default VMware Virtual Disk Library settings will be used. Any valid file name is a valid value. Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect. |
