Pre-populated bp.conf file for new installs

Greetings,

I am looking for a way to pre-populate the bp.conf file for new installs for Linux/Unix hosts to begin with. Has anyone ever modified and added to the install of a NBU client so that the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file is installed with all the proper SERVER entries already populated for your environment? Let's assume that I have a master and 16 media servers and I'd like to do client installs that would have a properly filled out bp.conf file to prevent manual editing of SERVER names post-install.

Anybody with experience with this so far?

    hello,

    I don't know if it is possible but check install_bp script if you can do this

    and why you don't create a script post installation to populate the bp.conf ?

      Oh I have "ideas" on what can be done but I was looking more towards what can I include as part of the typical "client" install process/script to take care of that for the Linux/Unix side and then figure out what can be done for the Windows side.
