How to use NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT

Special Considerations for Stateful Inspection Firewalls

If using a stateful inspection firewall, for example, Check PointTM FireWall-1®, you must set the NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT variable to 30 on the NetWorker client.

Note: The NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT variable must be set before the nsrexecd daemon starts.

* For UNIX, modify /etc/rc2.d/S95networker to include the following:

NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT=30

export NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT

* For Microsoft Windows add the NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT variable to the system environment variables by doing the following:
1. From My Computer, select Properties.
2. In the System Properties dialog box, select the Advanced tab.
3. In the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button.
4. In the Environment Variables dialog box, click the New button in the System variable pane.
5. In the New System Variable dialog box, enter NSR_KEEPALIVE_WAIT in the Variable Name text box, and 30 in the Variable Value text box.
6. Click OK to the save the new variable.

Note: If the configuration contains large client files, you may need to change the operating system's TCP keepalive interval to 57 minutes. Make this change on the NetWorker server. (The default value of the operating system's TCP keepalive interval is usually 120 minutes.)
