Instructions

On each proxy, there are two files that contain timeout values, set to 1800 seconds by default:

  • /usr/local/avamarclient/bin/config.xml
grep time /usr/local/avamarclient/bin/config.xml
 

Example output:

<mounttimeout>1800</mounttimeout>
<hosttimeout>1800</hosttimeout>
 
  • /usr/local/avamarclient/bin/MountPoint/config.xml
grep time /usr/local/avamarclient/bin/MountPoint/config.xml
 

Example output:

<mounttimeout>1800</mounttimeout>
<hosttimeout>1800</hosttimeout>

  1. Edit the two files and change the values (in both files) to the required values.
  2. Save the files.
