    You can change the VMware tab in the policy using the following command:

     

    bpplinfo POLICY_NAME -modify -snapshot_method_args "keyword=value,keyword=value,..."

     

    Full details of all parameters for -snapshot_method_args are at https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000074127#v80137990

     

    One thing i found is you have to list in the parameters anything you have changed in the policy because if you don't list it, then it will revert it to default by running the command. The parameter you want to change in this instance is the rLim= one. To get a list of all parameters currently in place for your policy then run bpplinfo POLICY_NAME -L and then look for the Snapshot Method Arguments section and can just copy that.
