Looks like you wan to post some operating procedures or steps so that other can use.  You can do these under articles - https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Articles/tkb-p/Articles-Backup-and-Recovery instead of posting it in these question forums.

To anyone else reading...

...I seriously would not recommend this point/command without talking to official Veritas Support:

"To Kill SPAD if running kill -9 spad"

...which looks like an almost guaranteed way to destroy your MSDP installation.  Try this at home folks, not at work.

I am not recommending to use kill spad command. Just shared a command of OS which terminates any process when it stucks.Its upon you how you are taking this.=) Keep smiling and keep posted . Thanks

A kill -1 or -2 should be tried before using -9.

Kill -1 or -2 send a polite message to the process, that the OS really want to quit it's work, where as -9 just terminates the process.
