Configure the SCP timeout
The SCP may timeout during the initial synchronization if you have a large virtual machine or a slow
connection from the source to the target. Follow these steps to modify the SCP transfer timeout value.
1. Stop the protection job for which you want to change the SCP timeout value.
2. Change the default value of 2880 minutes in the
DefaultJob.xml
file (located in
<install
path>\Data
):
<PropertyItem Name="ScpTimeoutMin" Access="PUBLIC"
Permission="READWRITE">
<Value xsi:type="xsd:int">2880</Value>
</PropertyItem>
3. Restart your protection jobs.
Configure the VirtualCenter operation timeout
You can configure a single timeout value to be used for all VirtualCenter operations. By default, the
value is 90 minutes.
1. Stop all protection jobs.
2. Change the default value of 90 minutes in the
DefaultJob.xml
file:
<PropertyItem Name="RetriableOpTimeoutMin" Access="PUBLIC"
Permission="READWRITE">
<Value xsi:type="xsd:int">90</Value>
</PropertyItem>
3. Restart your protection jobs.
