Change the mount timeout

After the mount starts, you can change the mount timeout on the Instant Access > Active Mounts page by specifying the number of days in the Change mount timeout field and clicking Change. The mount timeout is changed by the specified number of days.

About this task

Starting with the Microsoft application agent 19.2, a msagentadmin process runs in the background with a keep_mount_alive option to keep the mount session active for the number of days specified by the user. When the user-specified mount period expires, the msagentadmin process removes the Microsoft SQL Server databases and dismounts the instant access session. After a machine reboot, the Microsoft application agent restarts the mount monitoring process to ensure that the user-specified mount period is maintained. For example, the following monitoring process runs in the background: 
msagentadmin.exe keep_mount_alive --mountperiod <minutes> --dmhost <IP_address> --dmport <port_number> --lockbox "C:\Program Files\DPSAPPS\common\lockbox"

Steps

  1. From the left panel, click Active Mounts.

    The Active Mounts page appears as shown in the following figure.
