Just run the following command:
bpconfig -mj 0
=20
This sets the "Max Jobs per Client" to 0. And can be confirmed by
running bpconfig -U.

Hope that helps.

        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.)
