The commrestartduration option specifies the maximum number of minutes you want the client to try to reconnect to a Tivoli® Storage Manager server after a communication error occurs.
Note: A scheduled event continues if the client reconnects with the server before the commrestartduration value elapses, even if the startup window of the event has elapsed.
You can use the commrestartduration option and the commrestartinterval in busy or unstable network environments to decrease connection failures.
This option is valid for all clients.
Place this option in the dsm.sys file within a server stanza. You can set this option on the Communication tab, Common Options section of the Preferences editor.
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on the Communication tab, Common Options section of the Preferences editor.
