And you need bprd running for the use of the remote java console.=20
But as someone else said you can use the "bpconfig -tries 0" to stop =
backups from starting. You just have to remember what value you had set =
before to reset it after you wish to start backups again.=20

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.)
