HP StorageWorks TapeAssure service version 1.1 User guide (EH957-90925, September 2010)

Parameters
The following is the full list of parameters that you can set to control HP TapeAssure functions:
• TICKET_STORING_LOCATION
The location where the drive tickets will be stored before being sent to the management station.
Defaults to the logs\tktstorage folder in the TapeAssure service software installation direct-
ory. Changes to this parameter are dynamic and will take effect immediately.
• ELTT_INITALIZATION_LOCATION
The location for eLTT (embedded LTT) working files. Defaults to the eLTT\logs folder in the
TapeAssure service software installation directory. Changes to this parameter will take effect
only when the service is started.
• MAX_TICKET_STORE
The maximum disk space allocated for local ticket storage (in MB) before being sent to the man-
agement station. Defaults to 100 MB, must be at least 10 MB. Changes to this parameter are
dynamic and will take effect immediately.
• MANAGEMENT_STATION_IP
The IP address of the Command View TL management station. Can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address,
or domain name. Changes to this parameter are dynamic and will take effect immediately.
• MANAGEMENT_STATION_PORT
The port number of the Command View TL Management station on which Command View TL service
is listening. Command View TL uses the default port of 8099, though this can be changed. Changes
to this parameter will take effect only when the service is started.
• TICKET_TIMEOUT
The timeout, measured in seconds, for pulling tickets. The default is ten minutes. If any of the ticket
commands take longer than this setting, the system will stop pulling the ticket. Partial tickets are
logged in the TapeAssure service log file. You must set this parameter to allow for long commands
such as rewind and unload to complete.
Changes to this parameter are dynamic and will take effect immediately.
• POLLING_INTERVAL
The number of minutes between pulling tickets. The default is six hours (four tickets per day). This
is in addition to tickets being pulled on application unload. Used for polling the drive if the applic-
ation is not configured to unload the tape at the end of the backup. Note the poll interval can be
very large as the ticket is only needed at the end of the job. Set to zero to turn off timed tickets
completely. Changes to this parameter are dynamic and will take effect immediately.
• DRIVES_TO_BE_DISABLED
List of drives for which tickets will not be pulled. Use this configuration setting to selectively disable
monitoring of one or more drives. For multiple drives, separate the drive serial numbers with a
comma. For example:
DRIVES_TO_BE_DISABLED=P200000916, HU10018ADR
NOTE:
Disabling monitoring through the configuration file will stop the service from pulling any further
support tickets from that drive. However, any pending tickets for that drive to be sent to the
management station.
