Retry RPC and Retry Interval

During a swinstall or swcopy operation, retry_rpc_interval controls the interval schedule for repeated attempts to make a connection to a target or the source agent after an initial failure. This option works in conjunction with retry_rpc, which controls the number of times the target or source is re-contacted.

The default value for retry_rpc is 1 and retry_rpc_interval is {0}.

The recommended values for the retry_rpc_interval algorithm are {1 2 4 8 15} with retry_rpc set at 5. If the agent session fails to start for any reason, the controller and/or target will attempt to re-connect in the following way (i.e., both options set as above):

If the number of values for retry_rpc_intervalis less than retry_rpc, the last value given is repeated until the number of actual retries is equal to retry_rpc.

	NOTE: If retry_rpc has a value of zero, no retry is attempted. An initial value of 5 is recommended for WAN environments.
