Hello 

You can also use the bpclient command for turning vsp off.

I would turn VSP off unless you need to backup open files.
OTM was in the older versions and that option should no longer be available.
You have to go to the Master Properties -> Client List -> To change the VSP 
options in 5.1.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VSS In Netbackup


Hi again
Posting a lot today, although pleased to report most of my issues are in hand 
and more or less resolved!

My next case is the backups that fail with 156 - investigations shows its to do 
with VSS, but what is the VSS and how is this associated with Netbackup 5.x ?

I recall the 3.4 NBU used something called OTM - which I think was called Open 
Transaction Manager which allowed opened files to be backed up!!
(correct me if I am wrong).

As I do not see a license key for this Veritas solution (known as VSP), I can 
only assume that Netbackup thinks its using the Microsoft version!
But
how? Is it just configured from the "Manage" option under the shares and 
configured? Or is there more to it that that!

If anyone has any input, suggestions to use / not to use or any drawbacks, 
please feel free to reply.

Thank you once again
