Instructies

The proxy_selection_algorithm parameter is configured through /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml.

It has three values:

hot_add_preferred
  • MCS prefers and selects proxies based on hot-add capabilities. If none are found, MCS falls back to using proxies without hot-add capabilities. This is the default setting.
 
hot_add_only
  • MCS uses ONLY proxies based on hot-add capabilities. If none are found, MCS pauses the backup or restore operation and waits for a hot-add capable proxy to become available.
 
ignore_associated_datastores
  • This setting causes known proxy datastore associations to be ignored during the selection process. This allows MCS to select from a larger pool of available proxies. Like the hot_add_preferred setting, proxies with hot-add capabilities are preferred over proxies without hot-add capabilities. But, if no hot-add capable proxies are found, MCS falls back to using proxies without hot-add capabilities.
