Registry Keys and Parameters


Overview

In order to perform advanced troubleshooting and other environment-specific modifications, Windows registry keys or an appropriate file in the Unix and NetWare file systems is used.

This document describes such parameters and how to modify them. Note the following convention used in this document:

Windows

Back up the registry before you edit it. You must also understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information on how to backup and restore the registry, refer to the appropriate Registry Help Topic provided in Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.

WARNING:

Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require a reinstall of the operating system. Microsoft does not guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. You must also understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Unix/Macintosh

It is recommended that you make a backup copy of the appropriate .properties file, before editing it. This will help you to restore the appropriate parameters if a problem occurs.

NetWare

It is recommended that you make a backup copy of the appropriate GALAXY.INI file, before editing it. This will help you to restore the appropriate parameters if a problem occurs.

Data Classification Enabler

Location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CommVault Systems\Common\Data Classification\
Key NoSecurityForLocalAdministration (optional)
Value 0 or 1
Value Type (Windows only) DWORD Value
Valid Range 0 if you do not want to bypass the security check for local administration of the Data Classification service from the Data Classification utility; 1 if you want to bypass the security check for local administration of the Data Classification service from the Data Classification utility.
Default Value 0
Created In Computer in which the enabler is installed
Description Use Value 1 to bypass the security check for local administration of the Data Classification service from the Data Classification utility. This helps administer the Data Classification service locally. By design, Data Classification utility users should be able to access other computers with Data Classification only when such users have administrator privileges on those computers. This level of security is provided by the NTLM or another authentication method. If the authentication method is disabled or not used, however, the computer access restriction is removed unless you set this registry key to 1 on the affected computers.

Security checks are not bypassed if the registry key is not present.
Applies To Windows computers with Data Classification

 

Location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance<xxx>\Data Classification\
Key DC_CREATE_INDEX (standard)

Value Type (Windows only) DWORD Value
Valid Range Use the preferred values identified in Value above.
Default Value 1
Created In The client computer where the enabler and the agent are installed.
Description This key allows you to create and modify the indices for the Data Classification databases. By assigning values to and applying the key, you can use these indices to administer various items associated with Data Classification. Depending on the agent, these items include the size of the Data Classification database, the time required for database initialization, the time required for Data Archiving, and the time required for File System iDataAgent backups using the Data Classification Enabler as the scan process.

If you do not want to use this key (i.e, if you want to use the default index), be sure to set the key value to 0, stop the Data Classification services, delete the Data Classification database, and then restart the services. Also, if you want to change the value of the key to a preferred value, set the key to that value and then follow the procedure discussed in the previous sentence.

The following list summarizes the effects of using this key. Set this key to one of the values identified in Value above and as appropriate per the notes in the following list.

  • Multi-Column Single Index value
    • For archiving, this value produces databases that are 20% to 300% larger than those for the default index value, database initialization that is 5% slower than that for the default index value, and the fastest possible archiving.
    • For backup, this value produces faster backups than those for the default index value.
  • Multi-Column Multi-Index value
    • For archiving, this value produces larger databases than those for the Multi-Column Single Index value, database initialization that is 5% slower than that for the Multi-Column Single Index value, and fast archiving.
    • For backup, this value produces faster backups than those for the Multi-Column Single Index value.
  • Full Path Index value
    • For archiving, this value produces databases that are slightly smaller than those for the Multi-Column Single Index value. Also, this value provides no performance gain for non-custom archiving using Data Classification.
    • For backup, this value produces faster backups than those for the Multi-Column Multi-Index value.
  • File Size Index value
    • For archiving, this value produces databases that are slightly larger than those for the default index value, database initialization that is slightly slower than that for the default index value, and fast archiving if only a few files in the volume meet the size criteria.
    • For backup, this value produces slow backups.
Applies To File Archiver for Windows Agent with Data Classification, Windows File System iDataAgent with Data Classification.

Valid Range 0 - 1 (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
Default Value If not defined, the default is 0.
Created In CommServe computer
Description When enabled, the Job Manager will terminate a conflicting job, i.e., a new backup job that is initiated for the same subclient as a job that is currently running.

The Job Manager will only terminate a conflicting job if the new backup job encompasses the earlier job and if the earlier started job has yet to transfer any data to media. If these conditions exist, then the earlier job will be killed by the system and replaced by the newer job. To be more encompassing indicates that a FULL backup can kill jobs such as incrementals, differentials and other fulls; however, incrementals will not be able to kill fulls. If the current job has already started transferring data, then the normal queue rules for the new job will apply.

Note that when the parameter is set to 1, a subclient job will not be terminated for a job with the same backup type for that same subclient. Only subclient jobs with a lower backup type will be terminated for a job with a higher backup type for the same subclient.

Location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance00n\ReplicationMgr\nPruneWithJobsRunning
Key ReplicationMgr
Value nPruneWithJobsRunning (Optional)
Value Type (Windows only) DWORD Value
Valid Range 0, 1, or 2

0 – off

1 – prune only VSS hardware snapshots and Generic Enabler snapshots while Quick Recovery jobs are running

2 – prune any VSS snapshots and Generic Enabler snapshots while Quick Recovery jobs are running

Default Value The default value is 0.
Created in CommServe computer
Description Without this key, data aging skips pruning of Quick Recovery if any Quick Recovery jobs are running when the data aging job is initiated. This behavior would ensure that data aging does not accidentally prune a source snap of a running Quick Recovery job.

In some large sites, however, this default behavior causes the aging function to always skip Quick Recovery because a Quick Recovery job is always running when a data aging job is initiated. The ReplicationMgr registry key addresses those situations by allowing pruning of VSS snapshots or Generic Enabler snapshots even when Quick Recovery jobs are running.

To set up control of the pruning function with Quick Recovery jobs running, manually create the ReplicationMgr key on the CommServe in the path location identified in this table. Then create the nPruneWithJobsRunning DWORD and set the value to 1 to allow transportable VSS snapshots or Generic Enabler snapshots to be pruned, or 2 to allow all VSS snapshots to be pruned. Set the value to 0 if you want to turn the key off and go back to the default function.

NOTES

This key should not be activated when VSS software shadows or Generic Enabler snapshots are used to create normal QR Volumes. Otherwise, the source snapshots could get pruned.

Value nOfflineArchivingTimeout (Optional)
Value Type (Windows only) DWORD Value
Valid Range Integer value in the range of 1 through 365 inclusive, where the value represents the timeout, in days, of how long messages can be held in the offline archiving candidate state before stubbing them on the Exchange Server during the next archiving operation.
Default Value When this key is not present, the default behavior is to keep messages in the offline archiving candidate state until an offline archiving operation is run from the Outlook client. If the value is not in the valid range, then a default timeout of 15 days will be used.
Created in User-created in the computer in which the agent is installed.
Description This registry key allows you to specify the number of days that messages marked as offline archiving candidates can exist before being stubbed on the Exchange Server. If the timeout value is exceeded, offline archiving candidates will be stubbed on the Exchange Server during the next archiving operation.

This avoids the problem where an archive operation is run from the CommCell Console and messages marked as offline archiving candidates are held indefinitely in that state until an offline archive operation is performed from the Outlook client. In the event that users do not run an offline archive operation, or the AutoLMJobFreq and AutoLMJobRunTime registry keys are unable to automatically run an offline archive operation because end-users' Outlook sessions are inactive, a timeout value can be established by this registry key to proceed with stubbing those messages on the Exchange Server during the next archiving operation, in order to save space.

0 - The registry is merged and all CommCell related files are restored normally

1 - This will trigger the following actions:

  • Files for CommCell components in the computer will be overwritten if install location is the same as it was before the full iDataAgent restore
  • CommCell registry keys will be restored from the System State backup
  • Services will be restored from the last System State backup
  • Also note that any Updates that were installed before the restore must be re-applied after the restore
Default Value The default value is 0.

Value Type (Windows only) Not Applicable
Valid Range Any number greater than or equal to 0 (seconds)
Default Value None
Created In The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description If a DB2 DPF iDataAgent data management job goes to a pending state, and if the job has completed on one or more of the nodes, the restart option will start the job on all the nodes unless this registry key is set appropriately. The key value is used to specify the maximum amount of time that can elapse before a job can be restarted on a successful node. For example, suppose a backup job completes on Node 0 but goes to a pending state on Node 1, and suppose the key is set to 1800 seconds. If the restart is issued after 3600 seconds, for example, the job will also be restarted on Node 0 since the 1800 seconds setting has been exceeded. But if the restart is issued after 900 seconds, the job will be restarted only on Node 1 since the 1800 seconds setting has not been exceeded.

Value Type (Windows only) DWORD Value
Valid Range It is recommended that this value not exceed 40,000.
Default Value 40,000
Created in The MediaAgent computer in which the NAS NDMP iDataAgent is installed.
Description Used in conjunction with nRESTORELIMIT.
For EMC Celerra DAR restore of a directory, this value indicates the size of the tree before a restore is converted from DAR to sequential. Since the whole tree is sent to the Celerra, not just the root of the tree, there needs to be a limit. When converted to sequential, only the root of the tree needs to be sent. nRESTORELIMIT indicates how many files/directory names can be sent in 1 restore request – between each request, the tape will be positioned to the start of the first tape. Thus, a DAR restore of a tree with 24,000 files/directories will need 3 restore requests (max 8192 per request) to be sent to the Celerra.

Default Value 40%
Created in The MediaAgent computer in which the NAS NDMP iDataAgent is installed.
Description Used in conjunction with nRESTORELIMIT and nRESTORELIMIT.
For a NAS DAR restore, nNASDARLIMIT determines the maximum number of items in a DAR restore, the so-called "NAS DAR limit". Any NAS restore exceeding this size is converted automatically to a NAS sequential (non-DAR) restore. The actual "NAS DAR limit" is the smaller of nNASDARLIMIT value and the percentage nNASDARPERCENT (default 40% if registry value is absent) multiplied by the total number of items in the index. A value of 0% means that all DAR restores are converted to sequential restores. The default value of 40% means that any DAR restore comprising more than 40% of the entire index is converted to a sequential restore automatically.
Applies To EMC Celerra NDMP iDataAgent DartOS 5.9 and later. As of Simpana 7.0 (non-NetWare), only applies to Celerra version 5.4 and earlier.

Value Type (Windows only) N/A
Valid Range y or Y (to enable sskiplockf) or any other value (to disable sskiplockf)
Default Value y or Y
Created In The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description This key allows you to skip-detect the locked files and continue with the backup. This is recommended whenever an iDataAgent is backing up files on an NFS server where it fails to get locks on these files. This key must be created manually.

Whenever the value is set to Y, clBackup skips getting the write-lock on files to be backed up and simply goes ahead with backing up the files. Backups may be inconsistent if the files are being accessed while backing up.

Whenever the value is not Y, or if the registry key itself is not present, the files will not be backed up, and they will be added to the failed file list when the iDataAgent fails to get a file lock. The backup will succeed without actually backing up the locked files. Also, the Event Viewer will display Failed to back up XX folders and XX files.

Minimum value should be 1

Default Value 500 (Megabytes)
Created in The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description This key allows you to set the minimum size (MB) of a file to back up using ufsdump.

NOTES

  • ufsdump is used to back up only those files that both meet the constraint on percentage data (i.e., the percentage of non-hole data is less than or equal to nDUMPPERCENT, which is discussed in the next table) and are at least of the size specified by nDUMPSIZE. Also, be sure to install Solaris Sun Patch 110387-05 to ensure that sparse file backups will proceed at the proper speed.

Value nDUMPPERCENT x (optional)

where x is an appropriate (percent) value

Value Type (Windows only) Not Applicable
Valid Range 0 through 99
Default Value 0
Created in The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description This key specifies that a file containing at most the identified percentage of non-hole data will be eligible to be backed up by the iDataAgent software using ufsdump. Value 0 indicates that ufsdump is not to be used. A small value means that the file must be extremely sparse (i.e., contain very little non-hole data) to be backed up using ufsdump. A larger value means that more files (including those that are not as sparse) will be eligible for backup using ufsdump. Therefore, for example, value 2 means that any file that has 2% data or less (i.e., that is 98% sparse or more) will be backed up using ufsdump as long as the minimum file size constraint specified by nDUMPSIZE is met.

NOTES

  • The iDataAgent software uses ufsdump to back up only those files that both meet the constraint on percentage data (i.e., the percentage of non-hole data is less than or equal to nDUMPPERCENT) and are at least of the size specified by nDUMPSIZE, which is discussed in the previous table.

Value ignoreFSType :fs name a:fs name b:

where fs name a, fs name b, etc., identify the affected file systems

Value Type (Windows only) Not Applicable
Valid Range lofs (with ufs, zfs, vxfs for Solaris Global Zone), tmpfs, ctfs, proc, devfs
Default Value Not Applicable
Created in The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description This registry key allows you to add and remove file system types from zone backup operations for Unix File System iDataAgents.

By default, the lofs, tmpfs, devfs, ctfs, and proc file systems will be skipped during backup. However, this registry key will allow you to determine which of these file systems will be backed up or skipped during backup.

Also, the addition of the lofs file system as a skipped file system has an impact on the Solaris Global Zone with regard to filesystem submount points that might previously had been expected to be backed up (e.g., if the root of a zone is an lofs file system and it has the ufs, zfs, or vxfs submount file system). These submount file systems will be skipped during backup unless they are added to the subclient content.

To use this key, simply include after ignoreFSType and using the correct format a value to identify the file system(s) you will skip during backup. Use the following format for the key value:

:fs name a:fs name b:...:fs name n:

The value must start and end with ":". Each file system name must be separated by ":". All file systems will be backed up (see first Note below) if the value is set to "::".

For example:

ignoreFSType :lofs:tmpfs:

(In this example, the command will skip backing up the lofs and tmpfs file systems.)

NOTES

  • Pre-existing rules will apply to NFS file systems unless "nfs" is added to the registry key identified above.
  • You can back up any of these file systems irrespective of how this key is configured by adding the mount point path for the file system to the subclient content.

Value OptimizeRunLengths x

where x is an appropriate value that determines whether or not to create genuine holes in potential or actual sparse files during a restore and, if such creation is desired, the minimum byte length threshold boundary for hole creation.

Value Type (Windows only) Not Applicable
Valid Range Integer greater than or equal to -1
Default Value Not Applicable
Created in The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description This key allows you to determine whether to restore genuine holes in potential or actual sparse files flat or intact based on size considerations. Note that such restores without this key are "flat" by default.

NOTES

  • This registry key has no effect on holed Solaris files that are restored to the Zettabyte File System (ZFS). The holes in such files are always restored intact with or without the registry key enabled.

During a backup, a backup hole scanner scans the data being sent for large areas of zeros, and it replaces each such area with a PL_HOLE tag header. Each area of zeros may or may not in fact represent sparse file holes; nevertheless, the PL_HOLE tag header is applied in every case.

When restoring data, use this key with value -1 or no value (or simply do not use this key) if you want to restore "flat" the data represented by each PL_HOLE tag header. To restore the data represented by the PL_HOLE tag headers as genuine holes, use this key with the appropriate positive integer value to ensure restoring tag headers of a particular byte length. Tag headers that are longer than the length that you specify using this value will be restored as holes; on the other hand, tag headers that are shorter than the length that you specify will be restored flat. For example, if you specify “OptimizeRunLenghts 3”, PL_HOLE tag headers with a length of 4 bytes, 5 bytes, etc. will be restored as holes, while tag headers with a length of 2 bytes, 1 byte, etc. will be restored flat.

Description This key, along with its associated sClusteredFSTypes registry key, allows you to filter file systems for backup. In essence, the keys allow you to control whether clustered (shared) file systems and non-clustered file systems will be backed up during a Data Protection operation from a physical or virtual node. If you are running a backup from a physical node, and if you want to prevent backing up clustered file systems (and therefore just want to back up non-clustered file systems), set this key to Y. If you are running a backup from a virtual node, and if you want to back up only clustered file systems (and therefore do not want to back up non-clustered file systems), set this key to Y and set the sClusteredFSTypes registry key to the value(s) representing the clustered file system(s) to be backed up. Be sure to separate each value with a comma.

where x is an appropriate value

Value Type (Windows only) Not Applicable
Valid Range vxfs (VERITAS Cluster File System)
Default Value Not Applicable
Created in The computer in which the iDataAgent is installed.
Description This key, along with its associated sClusteredFSFilter registry key, allows you to filter file systems for backup. In essence, the keys allow you to control whether clustered (shared) file systems and non-clustered file systems will be backed up during a Data Protection operation from a physical or virtual node. If you are running a backup from a physical node, and if you want to prevent backing up clustered file systems (and therefore just want to back up non-clustered file systems), set the sClusteredFSFilter key to Y. If you are running a backup from a virtual node, and if you want to back up only clustered file systems (and therefore do not want to back up non-clustered file systems), set the sClusteredFSFilter key to Y and set this key to the value(s) representing the clustered file system(s) to be backed up. Be sure to separate each value with a comma.
Applies To AIX and Linux File System iDataAgents that support the VERITAS Cluster File System (VxCFS)

Key UnixFsDataMigrator (standard)
Value ifindUseMTime (standard)
Value Type Not Applicable
Valid Range N to include File Archiver for Unix stub files in incremental backups of the Unix File System iDataAgent.

Y to exclude File Archiver for Unix stub files from incremental backups of the Unix File System iDataAgent.

Default Value Y
Created in Created in the computer in which the client component is installed, during installation of the File Archiver for Unix Agent.
Description This key causes the system to use the modified time as the basis for determining whether an archived/stubbed file has changed for purpose of including it in a file system incremental backup. Because the modified time for archived files is not changed during the stubbing process, stubs therefore do not meet the criteria for being included in file system incremental backups under the default value for this key.

To include stub files in incremental backups, reset the value of this key to N so that the system does not use modified time as the criteria for determining whether stub files have changed, and instead will use the ctime which allows the system to recognize the change and thus include it in incremental backups.

Key UnixFsDataMigrator (standard)
Value nUSE_STUB_CACHE (standard)
Value Type String
Valid Range Y to preserve stubs in cache and re-stub them after recall; or N to disable re-stubbing of files after recall.
Default Value Y
Created in The computer in which the agent is installed.
Description When set to Y, this key allows a file to be re-stubbed after recall by preserving it in cache memory if the current archive file exists and no changes were made to the recalled file. During a subsequent migration, if the files to be migrated have not been modified since their last recall, the migration is completed by just moving the stubs back from the cache to replace the files. As such, no date transfer happens and no space is taken on tape/magnetic media again. Current default behavior is to enable re-stubbing of files after recall.

NOTES

  • You can use dSTUB_CACHE_ROOT to specify the location of the root folder for the stub cache.

Created in The computer in which the agent is installed.
Description When set to Y, the stubFile.cvf file will be created at the time of stubbing and not during archiving thereby delaying the stubbing process. The .cvf file will have the job ids and will be saved in the Job Results directory for the entire job span. Therefore if the job is restarted in the stubbing phase, the .cvf file will not be queried from the Indexing subsystem and each consecutive backup operation will clean up the Job Results directory off these files from the previous jobs.
