How to set maximum jobs per client by command line?

Hi,

I want to set two parameters using a linux script:

1. On Master: maximum jobs per client

2. For a media server : scalable storage/ Maximum concurrent jobs

How?

Thanks

There are 2 places where Max Jobs per Client can be set:

Global setting (apllicable to all clients) : bpconfig command
Individual client setting: bpclient command.

Maximum concurrent jobs on disk storage is done on Storage Unit level:
bpsturep -label <STU-name> -cj <max_jobs>

Then there is also a Max IO setting at Diskpool level:
nbdevconfig -changedp -stype <server_type> -dp <disk_pool_name> -max_io_streams <n>

See NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for details.

Hey
For first point it will be bpconfig -mj xx see this site and below excerpt from it:
"-mj number
Specifies the maximum jobs per client. This number is the maximum number of jobs that a client can perform concurrently. It must be a positive integer. The range values are 1 to 32767. The default value is 1."
for second point - I do not follow what is being required...
