When I'm trying to quiesce the system prior to stopping Netbackup or for
doing maintenance on the master I do run 'bpadm' and then under Special
options (I think - its option 'x') there's terminate the request daemon.
=20
This will stop any new backups from starting which is my goal, but if
you need bprd running for other things it would be an issue.

Is there an easy way to prevent NetBackup (5.0 MP1 in my case, Solaris
master, mixed media servers) from launching any backup jobs but
retaining all communication channels needed to perform administrative
and configuration tasks between the master server and media servers?
=20
I've often read and periodically used "terminate the request daemon"
accomplishes this, but with the master not listening to the bprd socket,
media and administrative servers can't get to first base.
=20
It seems there ought to be something easier than making each policy such
that it won't launch.
=20
(Basically, I have some configuration issues I want to fix and I'm now
running my backup window. I don't want anything to launch until I'm done
with my work.)
