Not that I can find, and I asked Symantec support.  We have a problem 
upgrading from 4.5 to 5.1 on Windows.  We had for 4.5 installed VSP (set 
INSTALLVSP=1) in the silentclient.cmd file.   We then set the registry key 
VSP_Use=NO - this is the same as clearing the check box in the client 
configuration in the GUI (at 4.5).  The theory was that if we found we 
needed VSP, it could just be toggled on.

When we upgrade to 5.1, we find that the VSP code is left in situ, whether 
we set INSTALLVSP to 0 or not.   The VSP_Use registry key is no longer 
used.   If there is no client database entry on the Master for the client, 
the command it sends for backups has use_ofb set.   So VSP kicks in.  We 
filled a few disks that way.

I tried renaming VSPAPI.DLL out of the way and sure enough the log reports 
"VSP disabled", but it still tries to do some stuff about cleaning up 
entries using bpfis, which generate some error messages.  Looks as if 
something in a database bpfis maintains is not right.

So the defintive fix seems to be to add client database entries for all 
Windows clients, and set WOFB_Enable=0.  That can be scripted.   We will 
also stop installing VSP!

[Veritas-bu] Global VSP setting






Is there a way to globally disable using VSP? I only know of the client 
attributes on the master server.  Is there a touch file? I am running NBU 
6mp1 on Windows.
