Thanks David,
That?s going in my list of goodies and will probably become a VSP_ON_OFF
script.

Here is one more way that works from Solaris and does NOT require
"adding" the client.
use bpsetconfig
I use bpsetconfig and bpgetconfig to script a LOT of mass changes.
bpgetconfig allows you to see just about any config option on the
clients (including Excludes on Windows clients). and conversely,
bpsetconfig can change just about anything.
in this case,
echo "VSP_USE = NO" | bpsetconfig -h clientname
will turn off VSP.
You can check the status of VSP on the client by using
bpgetconfig -M clientname | grep VSP
The -M is a bit of a misnomer. It stands for master, but actually works
on clients. I also use bpgetconfig as an early comunications test. If I
get a response from the client, it's a good indicator that it will be
able to back up.
One thing to note using bpsetconfig, though. It REPLACES the entry, not
append. So in the case of lists of media servers, you have to feed it
the ENTIRE list of servers, not just the one or two you want to add.
Doing that incorrectly can result in you removing the master server from
its list and it's "hello VNC" ;-)
